We got married at Mike's Beach Resort in 2019, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The location is breathtaking, with beautiful waterfront views and a peaceful vibe that made our entire weekend feel magical. Our guests loved staying in the cozy cabins, which were comfortable and had everything they needed. It was so nice to have everyone close by for the whole weekend. Plus, we were thrilled that the resort is pet-friendly—it meant we could include our dog in our special day, which made it even more memorable. The ceremony by the water was absolutely stunning, and the natural beauty of the resort added such a special touch to everything. It was exactly the kind of relaxed and beautiful celebration we had hoped for. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that offers gorgeous scenery, cozy accommodations, and a welcoming atmosphere (for both people and pets!), I can’t recommend Mike's Beach Resort enough. It’s a place we’ll always cherish!

Lake Lawrence Community was once called “Edwards Pavilion” was established in 1923 by Louie Armstrong and Amber Reichel. All logs to build the lodge were felled from off the lake property itself and the fireplace was erected by Frank Noreen from Deschutes Falls. It took about one year to completed the building. This became an extension of Edwards Resort, a fishing a recreational getaway, here on Lake Lawrence. Afterwards many dances were held in the building. In 1973 the over 50-year-old resort closed, and the camping era came to an end. The resort property is now enjoyed by many private property homeowners. The playground, swimming area, and Edwards Pavilion became part of the Lake Lawrence Community Club, which still maintains these facilities for the benefit of their members.
