Venue

The Cottonwood Cottage has a long history starting out as a chicken coop and a hay barn of Stephen Kinsey, one of the earliest settlers of Genoa. Within the past quarter century, the building served as a restaurant and bar; most recently the Tombstone Restaurant, and previous to Tombstone, the Old Inn Cognito. Today, it is currently being renovated to be a breakfast restaurant and one of the best locations for small or large private events in the area.

Cottonwood Cottage is located 200 yards from the center of town so you and your guests can spend time walking through town and visiting the gift and antique stores, the museum or spend time viewing the abundance of wildlife in the area. Your wedding and group can take over the town for a weekend to enjoy all that it offers.

Weddings

Summer ceremonies take place on our grass area while winter weddings can take place inside the building.

 

Summer garden weddings can accommodate up to 120 people with ceremonies taking place under an arbor with the Sierra Mountains in the background. Receptions follow inside the cottage.

 

Ceremonies during winter can accommodate up to 80 people in the cottage with a large fireplace for warmth. Ceremonies can take place in front of the large rock fireplace in the dining area with reception to follow.

 

Cottonwood Cottage specializes in personalized weddings. Bring your dog to be the ring bearer, dance down the aisle, ride up on a motorcycle or in a carriage with horses, you can do it your way!
