Beautifully nestled in Nebraska City, Lied Lodge at Arbor Day Farm stands not only as a beacon of rich history, but a place to celebrate, stay and bask in nature. You can feel the magic as soon as you arrive, as grand timber beams frame the entrance of the 260-acre property. A simple morning coffee on the patio can feel otherworldly with treetop views on the horizon. Equipped with cozy accommodations and on-site activities like the Tree Adventure, Apple House Market, wine tasting, spa, indoor pool, an assortment of trails and tours and more, there is something for everyone.
Food and beverage are a significant part of any Lied Lodge experience. Two restaurants offer mouthwatering fares; The Timbers, featuring seasonal dishes inspired by local ingredients, and Porter’s, a casual spot featuring comfort food. Feeling thirsty? Head to the Library Lounge to discover your new favorite craft cocktail, local beer or wine.
The lodge also serves as a mecca for weddings and events. A stone's throw away from the lodge lies Hazelnut Lawn, artfully lined with hazelnut bushes and views of the land. Down the path another locale awaits, Woodland Grove. This location is a staff favorite with towering trees engulfing the site, creating an immersive experience for “I do’s.” The barns are next, blending elegance with rustic charm.
Calling all history buffs: the venues by Arbor Day Mansion are for you. The storied estate is a National Historic Landmark and offers the Terrace Garden for more intimate celebrations while the Heart-Shaped Lawn sets a scene of classic refinement. The Meadow is a lush landscape begging to be decorated with the grand mansion in the background. Even their indoor venues, Rosenow Room and Steinhart Lodge, show views of the property and effortlessly combine modern touches with warm, authentic details.
The team at Lied Lodge at Arbor Day Farm can make any dream wedding a reality. Customization and personal details are at the forefront of their craft; if you want a ceremony at Woodland Grove and reception in the barns, they can make that happen. With a dedicated team ready to help with everything and anything, the options are endless. Whether you're planning a weekend escape or your dream wedding, it is clear why this is not your typical lodge.
