Fernweh is made for getting people together. From rehearsal dinners and welcome parties to birthdays, retreats, private dinners, and celebrations worth gathering for, the lodge offers an intimate setting in the heart of Jacksonville.

Private events begin with a full lodge buyout, giving your group all five guest rooms and private use of the property throughout your stay. From there, gatherings can extend into the gardens, porches, poolside spaces, and shared rooms of the lodge.

Our commercial kitchen is available to approved caterers for private events, and we're happy to work with you on the details that make sense for your gathering.

Small by design, events at Fernweh are meant to feel less like renting a venue and more like having the place to yourselves.
