A secluded outdoor wedding venue, deep in the forest

The Gables sits within a picturesque evergreen forest in rural Southern Indiana, near Derby. You and your guests are surrounded by the natural beauty of the Hoosier National Forest: towering evergreens, the scent of pine needles, a manicured lawn, the lake fountain and custom wood-carved animals around every turn.

Every wedding includes cabin accommodations and resort amenities, so the people you love most can stay the whole weekend.
