Weddings at Grandpas Barn
Say “I do” in the Ozarks, then walk your whole wedding party home to the Lodge next door — ceremony, reception, and everyone’s bed, all on the same 30 acres.
Your Whole Wedding Weekend, One Property
Most venues hand you a room and send everyone else to a hotel across town. Here, your ceremony spot, your reception in Grandpas Barn, and the beds for your whole wedding party are all on the same 30 acres between Bull Shoals and Norfork Lakes.
Steve and Betsy host every wedding personally — not a venue-for-hire with a rotating staff, but the same two people who’ve helped more than 75 couples get married here, from the first walkthrough to the last dance.

What Couples Are Saying
A few words from couples and families who celebrated their wedding at Grandpas Barn and the Lodge.
“Mrs. Betsy was very kind and helped with advice on my final touches to my wedding. She also assisted wherever she could to make our stay pleasant.”
— Jessica“Our daughter got married out there. It is such a beautiful place! … The reception would not have went as smooth as it did if it weren’t for the owner, Betsy. She helped make sure the buffet table kept full so I could enjoy the festivities. She also had a helper, Quincy.”
— Tina“Steve, Betsy, and the Staging Sisters made everything so easy and helped take a lot of the stress away. Everyone that came was blown away at the beauty of the lodge and barn! Thank you for the best wedding I could have asked for!”
— Paige Thomas“We had our wedding here April 25th and the place was beautiful! … The barn was perfect for our reception!”
— Carrie Smith“Our daughter’s wedding was held on the pond dock. We were able to decorate as the happy couple desired. Grandpas Barn…OH.MY.GOODNESS!!!! We hosted the reception in the barn but could have easily been the wedding venue…”
— Melinda M.“Rented the entire venue (wedding package) for our son’s wedding. This place, as well as its owners, are amazing! … The property was great, the wedding was great, and the owners are even better!”
— Bev“I had my wedding here and I don’t think I could have chosen a more perfect place. The owners are very very sweet and it is so beautiful and relaxing.”
