A Rich History & Endless Possibilities
Steeped in history, our venue now tells a story of transformation and renewal. From what started as a 1767 Colonial home, it became known as “The Highway House”, as a tavern, as a stage coach stop and then more recently, the beloved “Soo- Nipi- Lodge”. Today, under the loving care of the Evans family, The Greatful Dane Lodge is ready to begin creating incredible new history and beautiful memories. Each renovation has preserved its rustic charm while infusing modern comforts, making it a truly unique New Hampshire wedding and event venue.
Why is it called “The Greatful Dane Lodge?”
The name and logo for 'The Greatful Dane Lodge' is a loving tribute to the Evans family's cherished Great Danes, the late Winston and current resident, Norman. Great Danes, with their gentle demeanor and loyal presence, embody the spirit of hospitality and warmth that we strive to offer at our venue.
By calling our event venue "The Greatful Dane Lodge", we honor the love, joy and companionship that Winston and Norman have brought into our lives and we extend that sense of gratitude and welcome to all who visit.
