Choosing a location can make or break a family reunion, which is why many family reunion planners often stress out over where to hold the event. It needs to be a place that’s both reachable by all family members and capable of accommodating such a large crowd of people at one time. Fortunately, there are five locations on the West Coast that would be ideal for any family reunion.

The first is the California Cabins. California Cabins is a lodge that rents out cabins to people for events just like family reunions. They’re out in the mountains and near a lake, so they have a ton of outdoor activities like swimming, hiking, and fishing. They also have the benefit of giving you exclusive use to the whole lodge during your reunion, so you won’t have to worry about other guests that aren’t in your group.

The next lodge is another California one called the Squaw Valley Lodge. This lodge is seated in the mountains next to Lake Tahoe, and they offer both skiing and hiking activities. This is a very modern lodge with less rustic accommodations than California Cabins.

The third lodge is the Frog Creek Lodge in the state of Washington. They have three state parks nearby, and offer a variety of outdoor activities for reunion participants to participate in. They have a ton of different cooking options for your group, including a kitchen, barbecuing, a campfire pit, and nearby restaurants and catering services. Like California Cabins, if you plan your event here, you get exclusive use of the lodge the whole time.
