Reviews for Walkers Overlook / The Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit
GUEST
We could not have been happier with the location, the staff, the assistance and most of all, our coordinator, Krystal. The day went beyond perfectly. All of our vendors, who had never been to the Lodge before, all said that she made their lives easy and hassle free as well. The extra special excitement to our wedding, on 10/29/11, was the giant snowstorm that dropped 10+ inches; even with the worry of losing power (that this bride didn't even know about until after) was looked at, dealt with and fears to family members subsided. Anyone that appreciates a rustic setting, nature and beauty will appreciate the Lodge. The food was wonderful and the ambiance is fun. They get super extra props for putting Ernie the Elk head back up in his right place, as another bride demanded it be taken down for her wedding. The day before our wedding, Ernie was back up covered in the planned decor I had for him...except the cigarette in his mouth. Thank you, Lodge and Krystal!

Our daughter was married at the Lodge 3 weeks ago. The wedding,
from ceremony to reception, was perfect in every way. Family and friends are still talking about how wonderful it was. The venue-awsome!, the food- superb and the staff worked very, very hard to please. I have never seen so much enthusiasm from my husband! It was a day we will never, ever forget!!!

Your family was a joy to have at the Lodge. Thank you for your kind words.

The Lodge is set up in the mountains in Pennsylvania and provides a beautiful setting for outdoor weddings. Krystal, who takes care of the events, is amazing. We kept referring to her as our super woman because she honestly took care of every little thing. I started to tear up during the toasts at the reception and she was there 2 seconds later with tissues. Our vases for the sand ceremony broke 20 minutes before the ceremony started and she suddenly had new ones ready for us! The setting made for a beautiful and relaxing wedding and Krystal allowed for a flawless wedding. The combination was awesome! We stayed at the Inn over the wedding weekend, our close family stayed at the Lodge, we had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception there - and I recommend this location for all of the above.
GUEST
The service was excellent. We could not have asked for a more perfect day and would not have been able to accomplish it without the staff at the Lodge. It was awesome. The pricing was great. And when you see it for the first time you wil fall in love with the view. It is gorgeous. The staff really made our experience out of this world.
GUEST
My experience at the Lodge was fantastic! My wedding day was more perfect than I ever thought it could be. Krystal from the Lodge kept everything running smoothly and the service provided by the staff on the wedding day was truly exceptional. We received so many compliments from guest on how amazing the venue was and how smoothly everything turned out. The Lodge was extremely flexible but also gave plenty of guidance as far as setting up for the reception. A room was provided by the staff for groomsmen/groom and bridesmaids/bride to get ready in.
We went with the buffet option for the reception: the food was fantastic and we also had many great comments about the meal. The service provided by Krystal, Mark and the other staff at the Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit was above and beyond anything I would have ever expected from a wedding venue. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering having a wedding in a gorgeous location and having staff that really wants to make your day exceptional.
We also had the rehearsal dinner at the Lodge and it went wonderfully as
well. The food was excellent and the staff were very hospitable. We were also able to bring a lot of our supplies for the wedding up to the Lodge the night before so we had less set-up for the following day.
GUEST
The Inn and Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit is an amazing venue. My husband and I opted for an outdoor wedding on the lawn behind the Lodge. The view is absolutely breathtaking. The Lodge itself has really great character! The staff were very accommodating to help us have the perfect wedding day. We had plenty of space to get ready and there are several spots around the grounds for great pictures! All of our guests raved about how delicious the food was. They have a great menu selection that is reasonably priced. They made everything so easy for us and helped us to plan the day exactly how we wanted. I cannot say enough great things about the Lodge; I would get married there again in a heartbeat!!

GUEST
The Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit is an absolutely beautiful setting at an unbelievable price. The staff was all so incredibly helpful and easy to work with. The food is incredibly delicious. My big day went off without a hitch, everything went so smoothly and we had an amazing time. I absolutely could not find one bad thing to say about the staff or location. I would and will be recommending this location to anyone having a wedding or big event.
GUEST
Everyone that was involved took wonderful care of us. I especially was very impressed with Crystal. She was very organized and professional. She "held by hand" through the whole process. She took the time to answer all of our questions and made suggestions along the way. The food was great, the staff was helpful and took care of our needs. I would highly recommend The Lodge to other brides that are thinking about getting married. Maurice says when we renew our vows we want to do it at The Lodge.
GUEST
The Lodge was absolutely perfect for our wedding. We could not have asked for anything more. The location, atmosphere, food, hospitality, staff and flexibility were all excellent. All of our guests were very impressed and we received many compliments about all of the above mentioned things. It was nice that our out of town guests were able to stay on the grounds and were very appreciative of this option. Krystal was extremely helpful and very accomodating to our needs. I can not say enough about the lodge!

We fell in love with the Lodge the moment we saw the view overlooking the mountains. The food was delicious and Krystal bent over backwards to make sure everything ran smoothly. Her hospitality (and that of all the staff) during the event was phenomenal - she brought us appetizers while the photos were being taken so we could actually eat and even took care of our families! Thank you for a fantastically beautiful day.
GUEST
We had a wonderful experience with the Inn and Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit. The managment and staff were very professional and accomadating. The pricing was higher than other sites, but well worth it.
GUEST
What a beautiful setting and atmoshere to have our Reception. It is possible to have Wedding there also and if it is outside -- you get a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and would be an outstanding ceremony. We expected before we made contact that it would be out of price range but were we wrong and lucky. At the time The Lodge was in "makeover" phase and we even received an additional 10% discount. Even without the discount, we would still have chosen The Lodge. The food was great, the people are fantastic to work with and the atmosphere is incredible. We looked into five other places and no one in this area will compare to The Lodge. You will find everything you need there and be worry free on your biggest day. Without a doubt, if you do not call The Lodge for your wedding plans, you will be missing out on a fabulous venue.

Dorlah at the Lodge was a great coordinator. She asked us what we wanted to have and did exactly that. As the bride and groom, she gave us whatever we needed. Our parents were also treated with utmost respect. The Lodge has beautiful outdoor sites for a ceremony and photos.
GUEST
The Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit was the perfect location for our wedding in April 2011. We really liked that we could have the ceremony and reception at the same location. It made it really convenient for our guests. The wedding party even stayed at the Lodge, and the Lodge had a delicious for our guests in the morning.

My wedding at The Lodge was wonderful! The venue is beautiful, the food is amazing and the staff were great. Overall, the venue was a good value. The day was carried out seamlessly and everything ran according to plan. The staff were helpful in setting up and even took care of a lot of my decorations for me. They were accommodating with venue visits, setting-up times and more. I highly recommend the Lodge as a wedding venue!
GUEST
Our wedding at the Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit was beautiful. With numerous out of town guests, many people were stunned with the beauty of the mountains and sunset. The facility is beautiful enough that it requires very little additional decor. The staff was very accommodating and we were impressed with the level of attention they gave our wedding when they are regularly occurring at the Lodge. We also used the Lakeside location for our ceremony which is only a short drive from the Lodge and provided another visually interesting site for our guests. It really is a beautiful venue, especially for a fall wedding like our own!
The Inn and Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit is a STUNNING venue for any wedding! The elegance of the red carpet in the main Lodge with the backdrop of the beautiful fireplace eludes to an richness of days gone by! The staff is fantastic to work with both as a vendor, and from what I have heard from Brides. The backdrop of the mountains makes for breathtaking photos.... just look at the Fuscia Shoes photo on my "Something Blue" article on my website.
About Walkers Overlook / The Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit
~Weddings~
What separates The Lodge & Walker’s Overlook from other event venues? 30 years of experienced facility operations and stunning natural beauty of the locations.
With a thirty year career of providing top-rated event facilities for weddings, parties and gatherings, the operators of the The Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit are pleased to introduce a similarly stunning location in Walkserville, Md., where a historic homestead , overlooking rolling country side of this small town is available for your wedding and reception. Although, just a short drive from Washington, DC or Baltimore, Md., the long driveway leading to the home, flanked by towering pines, brings you to a feeling of a different place and time. The stone and brick farm house wrapped by a wide front porch was built in 1757 by the town’s namesake, John Walker. However, the house inside is anything but aged. Boasting modern amenities, fixtures and features, it retains its charm with period chosen hardware and original oak floors stretching through the house and banquet room that spans the back of the house. French doors in the banquet room stretch down the length of the room and open onto a stone patio. The banquet space in this room can welcome up to 60 guests. For events that choose to open onto the back lawn, our glass enclosed event area can accommodate up to 300 guests. Invite your guests to stroll the property for its 350 degree view of countryside, cool themselves in t he gazebo or simply enjoy the gentler pace of this elegant country farm house.
No less beautiful, The Lodge at Blue Ridge Summit sits on a gentle mountain top in Blue Ridge Summit, PA. This charming inn and banquet hall offer an excellent location for weddings, social events, anniversaries, family reunions, picnics and meetings and any other gathering that would appreciate its stunning view and amenities.
On the 68 acres surrounding The Lodge, guests can enjoy the vivid views of the valley from its mountain top perch. Flowering azaleas and rhododendrons, dogwood and redbuds dot the sprawling lawns and wooded landscape in the spring. The leafy canopy of the woods can cool outdoor celebrations in the summer and in fall that canopy—of fir, birch, oak and maple trees—parades its majestic colors. In winter the frost gilds the woods in its pristine glaze.
Enter The Lodge through large double doors where a large stone fireplace, cathedral ceiling and slate floors welcome you. A stately, double doorway leads from the entrance foyer and lounge to the ballroom, with high ceilings, large chandeliers and windows that stretch to the ceiling offering a view of the property. A slightly more intimate and more formal ballroom also boasts soaring ceilings, elegant chandeliers and a stone fireplace. Both rooms have access to our front porch. A 100 foot lanai with a high wood roof, large wooden pillars and a view that stretches for miles is the perfect stoop for watching the mist hover over the valley, the sun set or the occasional ginger appearance of the forest’s timid residents.
Whichever location you chose for your special day, the distinct architecture of our sites, the natural beauty of the landscape and our attentive staff will provide a unique and inviting backdrop to make your event special. Simply
let us know your needs, and we'll make it happen!
