A closer look
A place with character.
Delphi Lodge is a fishing lodge in the old sense: one long table in the dining room, a library, and a valley of mountains and water outside with a waterfall in the grounds. Weddings are exclusive use only, built around that one long table, so the dining room decides the numbers.
It is booked as two nights rather than a day, which is the right way to do a wedding this remote. Prices are not published, so that is your opening question.
Before you book
Worth asking.
