Our main lodge houses our dining room, tavern, and adjoining terraces. The Event Hall and terrace can seat up to 200 guests, and for a more intimate occasion, our Private Dining Room and terrace can accommodate banquets of up to 48 guests. Groups can choose the dining venue that suits their needs. No matter where you dine at Rush Creek, you will be treated to invigorating views of the surrounding forest and spectacular Sierra sunsets.
