River View Lodge

An Inviting Escape

River View Lodge is a private boutique lodge and event venue perched on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River in LeClaire, Iowa. Designed for couples who want more than a single wedding day, RVL offers a serene, all-in-one setting where ceremonies, receptions, and overnight stays flow together beautifully. The lodge sleeps up to 20 guests in luxury suites — each with river views featuring ensuite saunas or jetted tubs — and includes an indoor heated pool, spacious patios, and a stunning ballroom. Unlike traditional venues, River View Lodge gives you privacy, flexibility, and full-weekend access so you can slow down, savor the celebration, and enjoy every moment without rushed timelines or strict rules.

Beyond wedding season, the property transforms seamlessly for corporate off-sites, wellness retreats, family holidays, milestone celebrations, showers, and mid-week suite getaways — offering a destination feel close to home, without the stress of rushed timelines that come with typical venues or hotels.

Before you get lost in the Pinterest rabbit hole, save this wedding timeline. Fun fact: Most engaged couples start planning way too late (trust me, your dream photographer is already booked for next summer). Why this timeline is different: •
Before you get lost in the Pinterest rabbit hole, save this wedding timeline. Fun fact: Most engaged couples start planning way too late (trust me, your dream photographer is already booked for next summer). Why this timeline is different: • Your top vendors need 12-18 months • Those “perfect” Saturday dates? Going fast • Holiday weekends = book 2 years out • Off-season = better rates + more options Start with the big 4 (venue, photo, planner, music) and the rest gets easier 💫 Save this if you’re newly engaged and drop a 💍 if you’re in planning mode! P.S. Swipe for the full timeline that’ll have you booking like a pro 😌 #midwestwedding #iowawedding #leclaireiowa #quadcities #weddingvenue #iowabride #visitiowa #intimatewedding #microwedding #privatevenue

POV: The sun peeks through your window, and the first thing you hear isn’t a hotel alarm—it’s the sound of your kids racing to grandma’s room down the hall, and you realize... this is what family time should feel like. No coordinating breakfast plans between hotels. No “see you in an hour” texts. Just three generations sharing morning coffee on the porch, kids making memories in their private pool, and evening stories that don’t end because of hotel quiet hours. Because some moments deserve more than scattered rooms and rushed goodbyes. They deserve a whole house where your family’s story can unfold exactly as it should. Your private family haven in downtown Le Claire is waiting. Where every “see you later” becomes “see you downstairs.” 🏡✨ Ready to give your family the gift of uninterrupted together time? Tap to book your exclusive stay at River View Lodge.
