Cherry Valley Lodge Arboretum & Botanical Garden
Believed to be the nation’s only hotel recognized by the American Public Gardens Association, Cherry Valley Lodge is the perfect destination to experience the joy of discovery. In a magnificent collection of more than 2,000 plantings and some 400 species, Cherry Valley recaptures the tradition of wandering in the woods or through a garden to discover botanical treasures.

Our knowledgeable staff has identified, labeled and mapped each specimen in a labor of love that is ongoing. The process ensures that the Cherry Valley Lodge Arboretum & Botanical Garden accomplishes its mission; to showcase the diversity of plants in all seasons in functional landscapes.

The Gazebo Garden
Long a favorite spot for photos, weddings and peaceful repose, this verdant garden, features a variety of trees, shrubs and masses of flowers, adding splashes of color, spring through autumn. The offshore gazebo, with its plank walkway, highlights this garden, offering a dramatic spot from which to view the pond and its surrounding flora and fauna. A winding natural stone path takes visitors on a journey of discovery.

The Cascade Garden
This woodsy garden showcases trees and shrubs...Mother Natures’ portrait in browns and greens. Stepping stones meander through a collection of rare and beautiful specimens such as three-flower maple (Acer triflorum) and Turkish hazel (Corylus contorta). Heirloom varieties including beautybush (Kolkwitzia amabilis) and winter honeysuckle (Loricera fragrantissima) add a touch of history. A steep slope, wearing a crown of spruce trees, gives birth to twin streams, which cascade into a larger pond below.
