**The Cottage at Riverbend** is a Beautiful OUTDOOR Wedding venue in Eagle, Idaho. The grounds are…read morebreathtaking on this rural land in the middle of the bustling city of Eagle. The land is uniquely private. The entrance so obscure that you will drive by and miss it except for a Welcome sign on wedding days. This is a good thing to keep your event private and to maximize the space. Once you enter from the street the wedding names will be on a sign with the cottage in the background. You will head down a one car driveway to the back and park in a gravel parking lot. The back lawn is a front to a creek and lots of trees. Wedding ceremonies often take place here. When you are on the grounds you cannot see the surrounding farm, the vegetable market or anything else in most places. Moving toward the cottage is the pot o potty for guests & staff (construction style!!!) , the parking lot and then large tent. Walk through another area of grass. Next is another smaller tent outside the cottage and a couple of grass lawns. Again, tents may vary due to time of year etc. They usual house the DJ and dance floor for your event or it could house the tables and chairs and dance floor. The trees and shrubbery, again, are so pretty. The little pond is also good looking. Weddings are so different depending especially on your wedding coordinator and also the vendors you hire. Pay special attention to where the sun is depending on your time of day & time of year and plan the set up of chairs, tables, eating areas not to mention the flowers accordingly.The ceremony and eating is often set up in the sun so be aware depending on the time of year. Make sure to remember to think of your guests and warn them of the need to wear flat shoes or chunk heels or wedges to traverse the grounds parking lot and porta potty. Let them know if you will let them in the cottage to use the restroom or to get out of the sun or if it is off limits. Again, the wedding coordinator may make this decision but be aware it alters the guest experience. Their website shows a plethora of photos of the grounds so check it out for an idea of offerings and other events. But they don't do it justice. It is more beautiful in person. The look of the event and pictures are dependent on what you choose catering wise, coordinator wise, clothing wise and whom your vendor is for supplies. It can be as informal or formal as you wish. The sky is the limit. The Cottage at Riverbend gets 5 stars for just the gorgeous, serene, enchanting outdoor space that it is to hold your wedding or event. There are plenty of areas for guests and wedding party to roam and lots of greenery for pictures to be taken with. Lots of memories to be made here

This venue far exceeded our expectations and made all of my daughter's dreams for her wedding day…read morecome true. First- it is simply beautiful. Every little corner has some thoughtfully placed decor that just enhances the beauty of the building. Second- the owner, Lisa, and her team are committed to excellence in all they do. They are perfectionists. Every detail matters to them because it matters to YOU. The decor is beyond gorgeous, the food, delicious, the cupcakes could seriously win a baking show. The DJ was fun and intuitive and kept things moving. If you want a beautiful wedding without having to lift a finger and that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg, you MUST book Rustic Gardens. My guests, many of whom have attended weddings at the most expensive locations you can imagine, were BLOWN AWAY by the gem we found hidden just outside of Boise.

Very easy to maneuver our 43 ft Class A Coach. BETTER lanes, BETTER electric pedestals, more gravel & virtually... no weeds. Thank you !! We checked in and ran some errands around town. Then headed in for dinner & drinks. Kristie was our Bartender.... What a delightful lady. Full of conversation and just plain pleasant to talk with. Tonight's special was fish & chips. Nice & crispy.

Never gave us any information as to the WiFi password. We asked 2x & had to come back & ask for it again. She thought we another couple who were drinking & we hadn't had a drink. She was just plain rude. We won't go there as Elks members we will find an RV Park. Kari is not going to help you out. She's not adequate & can't interact with members, to welcome us in. It's time for Kari to retire as she is salary & not a volunteer! She catered to the lodge members over the guests. No print outs for codes to hookups. We again had to ask for them even though we had paid for our site. She had no clue to the lodge's Website!
