Built for the Richard S. Willis family in 1854. Hodge Podge Lodge was originally called "Melrose" in memory of an estate owned by his ancestors in Scotland. The home started as a four room, story and a half house with a detached kitchen. Throughout the house, one can trace the outline of the original footprint by noticing the wide plank flooring in the parlor, formal dining room and library. During the civil war era the massive lawn, with huge oak and pecan trees, quickly became a favorite place for many young people in town for picnics and family gatherings. It is on these same grounds that we invite you and your loved ones to celebrate life’s memorable occasions.

There's a particular kind of quiet that settles over Arrowhead Hill at The Lakota in the late afternoon, when the light turns gold across 85 acres of Montgomery, Texas countryside. As a modern farmhouse wedding venue, it trades in that hush deliberately: whitewashed wood walls, oversized windows, and a chapel built to let the day's natural light do most of the decorating. Say your vows there, then cross into the reception hall, where exposed stone pillars and timber beams elevate the oversized ceilings. When cocktail hour arrives, it moves outside to a tented courtyard strung with lights, weatherproofed so the evening never has to pause for a forecast. Guests who travel in can stay the night in the on-site cottages, turning a single evening into a proper weekend among rolling hills. For couples chasing a modern farmhouse wedding venue with real acreage and real texture, up to 300 guests fit comfortably into the story Arrowhead Hill tells.

Here, vows are exchanged beside the water, laughter carries through the trees, & every celebration unfolds with effortless beauty. As a family-owned venue, we believe your wedding should feel like home, not a production. We welcome every couple like family, pouring care, heart, and intention into every detail so your day flows naturally and stress-free. From your first walk through the property to your final dance beneath the lights, we’re here to make sure you’re fully present in every moment that matters.

Aylin Acres at The Lakota arrived as Houston's newest modern wedding venue, and it wears that newness well: 85 acres of rolling Montgomery, Texas countryside dressed in crystal chandeliers, white-washed brick walls, and vaulted ceilings that feel current rather than trend-chasing. Vows are exchanged in an indoor chapel built for exactly that mood, before the celebration moves into a reception hall designed for a crowd. Cocktail hour has options: an open-air courtyard with its own indoor/outdoor bar, or the dazzling welcome lounge, for guests who'd rather sip something chilled indoors. When the night winds down, on-site guest cottages keep everyone close, turning one wedding day into a small reunion. With flexible indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception spaces built to flex around up to 250 guests, Aylin Acres stands as the modern wedding venue for couples who want contemporary polish without losing a sense of place.
