Cajun Lake Lodge - A Country Wedding Getaway for Tennessee Brides
Friday, September 10, 2010
Ashley and I took the afternoon a couple of weeks ago and drove the scenic route on Highway 70 out to Cajun Lake Lodge's open house. The weather was starting to get cooler, thankfully and it was the perfect day to be outside and out west as the sun set. We got to say hi to the lovely Paula Eleazar Johansen who owns Cajun Lake Lodge and met her fabulous family. The lodge itself is a lovely, rustic venue for weddings and is great if you're an outdoorsy bride looking for a destination locale without having to leave Tennessee.
The Guest House is a fully-functional house with a bedroom, bathrooms, full kitchen and a recreational area. There's also tons of parking. When we arrived, there were already plenty of people and cars but we still could find a good spot.

Pool table and fireplace for some R&R. For the boys - a bar and some salt hockey in the basement.
They had really fun, antique decor in the pavillion which is a large, open space enough for a band in the corner, a buffet set up and a bar. The rear of the pavillion extends out for extra room.
It has a really nice, laid back atmosphere.
That fleur de lis was hand-carved into the watermelon.
The pool looked so inviting with tons of areas to lounge or play.
Cajun Lake Lodge is about 45 minutes from Nashville but once you are there - you and your wedding party can spend the entire weekend celebrating as there is plenty of space and lots to do. It would also be a great option for a bridesmaid getaway since it's much closer than Gatlinburg. Give their outdoor wedding venue website a look for more details and contact Paula to learn more!

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
