What our guests are saying
I’m writing this from the breakfast buffet at The Outing Lodge – my friends and I had the perfect stay for a friend’s birthday! This place is very charming, clean, and cozy. The history of the place adds so much to the experience and the staff are amazing. Sophia was great and helped us so much upon arrival with touring our rooms and telling us about the space. We want to come back!
We had a wonderful experience having our September wedding at The Outing Lodge! The space is just stunning, and the convenience of being able to stay on site was excellent. Sofia and Carlotta were wonderful to work with throughout the planning and were extremely helpful and accommodating. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the venue was, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting for our wedding.
Had a lovely stay at Outing! Such a cozy and quaint spot for a little weekend getaway with friends. Was pleasantly surprised by the homemade breakfast spread, delicious! Cannot wait to come back to this special place!
We had a big family wedding at Outing Lodge, for around 140 people.
The venue is beautiful, like an English country estate. It’s not just a showpiece, it has history and character, both in the house and throughout the lovely grounds.
The food was delicious, service was excellent, and we really felt looked after and cared for.
Much of the success was due to their help in planning how it would all flow, and in their exceptional catering. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
We came here for our anniversary and could not have been more pleased with our experience! The owners are so kind and genuinely care about all the guests. Breakfast was delicious and the bike trails near by are wonderful if you get the chance to explore them! So thankful we had the opportunity to stay at this historic location.
Sofia and the entire team were amazing to work with from the moment we decided to have our wedding here! The day turned out exactly how we wanted and all of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how cool the venue was! Their food is amazing also! You can tell they really put in the time and effort. Whether you’re hosting an event or staying for a weekend, The Outing is the perfect place!
Wonderful staff; amazing food; beautiful venue!
The Outing Lodge hosted our engagement photo session and, more importantly, our October 2021 wedding. The venue was everything we wanted for a rustic, fall wedding. The guests adored the staff. The food was delicious! Sofia worked with us for over 11 months to plan the day. The unique things about this venue are the charm of the lodge, the proximity to hiking and biking trails, and the package deal with ceremony, reception, 7 rooms for guests overnight, food and dessert all taken care of by the lodge. Thank you to the Outing Lodge staff for the best day!
This is a great place! It feels quite secluded as it is set in out of sight of the road and surrounded by woods.
The owners and staff are wonderful, and they truly make you feel at home. In the evening, we enjoyed the library for reading, chatting, and board games. In the morning, coffee (or hot water and tea) were always ready before breakfast, and the breakfast itself was delicious. We didn’t walk too far on the trails our first afternoon, and we had other plans the following day.
Downtown Stillwater is just a short drive away, if you want to take that in.
The Outing Lodge was a wonderful place for an enjoyable little weekend getaway.
A year ago today, I got married at The Outing Lodge. Today, we stayed here for our 1st anniversary. We also have attended a dinner event here. We love our experiences with The Outing Lodge and recommend this beautiful bed and breakfast for events, dinner, or an overnight stay. The Robert Frost room is our favorite.
The outing lodge is a charming and gorgeous venue tucked away in the Stillwater countryside. The venue itself is stunning! It offered the same class and vintage feel as some of the downtown mansions but with a more rustic and intimate feel. Not to mention it was the most affordable option!
The staff is wonderful. They’re a small operation that is attentive and gracious. We worked closely with Sophia to plan every last detail of the wedding. Most everything you could need is already at the lodge. The food was amazing and the service was exemplary! My husband and I are looking forward to spending anniversaries tucked away in the cozy lodge, remembering the magical day we spent there together.
The photos on social media really don’t do justice to how cozy and beautiful this property is. Our room was so comfortable and had plenty of amenities. We loved the amount of wildlife in the area, the lake and the gardens were gorgeous. Breakfast was wonderful and the laid back atmosphere was perfect. We would absolutely stay here again!
The Outing Lodge was the perfect venue for our daughter’s June 2020 wedding! We downsized to only immediate family because of the coronavirus. Sofia was wonderful to work with, and we appreciated the flexibility to shift our prepaid funds to things that would benefit our revised situation.
We rented all seven B&B rooms which assured we had the whole lodge to ourselves. The sun came out in time for a beautiful outdoor ceremony, but if the weather had been inclement the library would have been a perfect alternative. After dinner in their elegant dining room, we danced on the patio until dark, and ended the night around the fire pit.
In the morning after a lovely breakfast, we sat around the oversized fireplace while the bride and groom opened wedding gifts.
The Outing Lodge is beautiful. It has a European feel with lots of lovely woodwork and numerous fireplaces. It was also nice and private. It was a fabulous place to escape for a small, safe wedding during the pandemic!
My husband and I recently got married at The Outing Lodge, and we couldn’t be more pleased with our entire experience. From the beginning, the staff and wedding coordinator were wonderful to work with. They quickly responded to all of our questions and made sure to find a solution.
Having our reception at The Outing Lodge couldn’t have been better! We just wish we could have slowed down the time! The food, ambiance, service was top notch. It is such a unique venue that we couldn’t pass it up. Our guests were incredibly impressed and kept asking how we found this place!
Thank you for all you did to make our entire experience a positive one that we will always remember. Can’t say enough good things!
