About Grand Cascades Lodge
Grand Cascades Lodge — Crystal Springs
Crystal Springs Country Club at Grand Cascades Lodge is the flagship property of Crystal Springs Resort — a AAA 4-Diamond Adirondack-style masterpiece perched atop a sweeping mountain crest with some of the most spectacular panoramic views in the tri-state area. The Kittatinny and Pochuck mountain ranges frame every window. The property sits among three championship golf courses at 4,000 feet, just one hour from Manhattan.
The Emerald Ballroom is a classic and sophisticated reception space for up to 300 guests, with high ceilings, neutral colors, and floor-to-ceiling arched windows revealing mountain panoramas. For larger celebrations, the Big Sky Pavilion accommodates up to 350 guests with breathtaking sunset views. Cocktail hours unfold in the Grand Rotunda — 2,500 sq ft with a commanding circular wood ceiling, stone flooring, panoramic windows, and an attractive stone bar overlooking the golf course fairways.
“From our unforgettable ceremony in the Wedding Garden, to the cocktail hour in the Rotunda, to the reception in the Emerald Ballroom, to our after-party at the Biosphere — every single moment was perfect. The mountain views alone would have been worth it. Crystal Springs exceeded every expectation.”
