Catamount Lake House was wonderful, amazing! Our wedding plans changed last minute due to COVID-19. I reached out with only two months to spare. We were able to have the wedding (small elopement) of our dreams. The special events manager Lauren went above and beyond. She was helpful and accommodating through the whole process, from inception to day-of and after. Living almost 1,000 miles away was no problem during planning. The lakeside ceremony was gorgeous and the dinner inside the restaurant was beautiful. The food and cocktails were delicious and well executed. Highly recommend!
