Timber Lake is available beginning in early June and ending in late September with the exception of mid-June to mid-August during our summer camp program.
The weather and seasons in the Catskills differ from that of the Greater New York City area. The temperatures in early June, August, and September can fluctuate widely. Some days and nights may feel like the middle of the summer and others may feel more distinctly like spring or fall. Timber Lake does have multiple indoor facilities, including an indoor ceremony location, so hosting your wedding celebration or event in the off-season is never a concern.
We would be happy to give you a tour of our campus! Tours are based on availability and are typically offered Monday-Sunday with the exception of holidays.
A $5000 deposit is due at the signing of the contract. The rest of the balance is spread out over 4 more installments leading up to the wedding weekend. Final balance must be paid at least 2 weeks prior to event.
We love hosting bonfires around our stone fire pit that sits between our two lakes. We can even prepare an assortment of marshmallow roasting materials for your group to enjoy. Firework displays are also a fun and unique way to surprise your family and guests. In addition to the use of our facilities, which comes with your rental, there are several packages we offer to enhance you and your guests’ experience at Timber Lake.
Yes, we offer a “bridal suite” cabin as well as on-site accommodations, including private rooms and shared cabins.
We offer a linens package that includes sheets, blanket, pillow and pillowcase, and a towel for each guest in your group.
We do not have a facility fee. Our pricing is per guest.
We have plenty of covered and indoor facilities that we can move your guests into in the event of inclement weather. We have the experience and resources to move any group inside and get them back up and running again in no time!
We only host one wedding per weekend, but we may have multiple groups during the weekdays utilizing different spaces throughout the campus.
The arrival and departure times of every group can be customized to meet each group’s needs. For weddings, we have a standard arrival time of 3:00PM on the 1st day of the event and departure time of 12:30PM on the final day of the event.
No, however, our group rentals liaison will guide you through the entire process of planning out your event with us. For weddings, we will work with each couple on everything from menu customization, vendor recommendations, overall setup, and beyond to ensure your day is perfect! We recommend that you hire a Day-of Coordinator who can work with our team to make your day go as smoothly as possible.
Timber Lake will be available for decorating either the day before or the day of your event. We do offer an option for small groups of guests coming early to set up an event to stay on the grounds the night before the event begins. The group is responsible for putting up all decorations. We do not allow confetti or any open flame including candles.
Yes, our accommodations have heat and all of our available dates are dates that we feel provide warm enough weather for guests to be comfortable on our property. All of our shared cabins have air conditioning and most of our private rooms have window air conditioning units.
Our insurance prevents us from providing or serving alcohol. You are welcome to bring alcohol on our campus. You can have guests serve themselves or you can hire bartenders as long as they possess the proper liquor liability insurance coverage.
Timber Lake’s breathtaking campus sits on a mountaintop surrounded by 500 acres in New York’s Catskill Mountains, just 2 ½ hours from New York City and 1 ½ hours from Albany.
We have approximately 40 family-style round tables as well as up to 400 chairs that we will provide at no additional cost for the wedding receptions. We have about 200 chairs for the ceremonies. Wedding groups are welcome to use our basic silverware and camp plates at no additional charge. We only ask that, if we are not providing the meal when these are used, that the wedding group be responsible for cleaning after use.
We do provide onsite parking!
The rooms and cabins are not considered handicap accessible, but there is a ramp into the dining hall where the reception is typically held and the roads/paths in camp that will be used are paved.
