“The Off Map Glamping team from start to finish was IMPECCABLE. Ronny and Lisa’s attention to detail and really knowing what works best for their property, made our wedding perfect. We didn’t live near by so they let us pop by as much as we could, whenever we asked, they made it work. Everyone working on the property was knowledgeable, kind, and went above and beyond. You can tell they really love what they do and they will truly do anything to make sure your day is like none other. No words can describe how amazing and helpful the weekend event staff, D, Sara, Lisa’s father and another gentleman all equally helpful and SOOO kind. We never felt like a bother but more so family. We had so many guests and vendors say that this wedding at Off Map Glamping was the best they’ve ever attended thus far and that would not have been remotely possible without the people mentioned above. We wish we could relive it over and over, it was that incredible. Connor and I will forever rave about this place and we are SO thankful we can come back to camp and visit!! This property stole a piece of our hearts and we know it will do the same for every couple that comes after us! We cannot recommend them enough. Bravo!”

“Once we found The Lodge at Rush Lakes for our wedding venue, we knew it was the one! Logan and Dustin are the most down to earth and thoughtful guys who helped make our wedding day everything we dreamt of, plus more! We met with them multiple times on the property to go over everything wedding related. We live over 2 hours away and this place was worth the drive every single time! I could not recommend Rush Lakes enough to anyone looking for a wedding venue, special occasion, reunion, family gathering, bridal shower, baby shower, etc. We also worked with a handful of vendors recommended by Logan that have done events at Rush Lakes before, so the process was so incredibly easy! Being able to spend the weekend with our pups, friends, and family before and after our wedding day made it so much more special too. Being able to have our dogs be a part of our day meant everything to us and Rush Lakes made that possible. The whole property is stunning, there is not one bad spot for photos! Everything was perfect and I could talk highly about Rush Lakes for days on end. THE PERFECT VENUE!!! I miss it every single day. Thank you Logan and Dustin for making the wedding of my dreams possible!!!”
