Death Valley Accommodations FURNACE CREEK INN The historic, luxurious Furnace Creek Inn will be the center of our wedding activities. We are taking over the entire Inn for the weekend so we can be surrounded by our family and friends.        Built in the late 1920's and early 1930's, the 4-diamond Inn is true desert elegance, filled with Death Valley history. The Inn has over sixty beautifully appointed rooms with lots of amenities. Most rooms have terraces or balconies, and some have spa tubs. The Inn grounds include a gorgeous spring-fed pool, oasis garden, massage therapy and tennis courts. The Inn Dining Room offers truly fine cuisine (and for the brave, some Southwestern treats like fried cactus and rattlesnake empanadas). The Inn Bar has a cozy indoor lounge and an outdoor terrace with fantastic views of the valley and the Panamint Mountains (and some fantastic cocktails). Reservation Details Because we're taking over the whole Inn, every room is available for only $205/night (two night minimum), a significant discount of up to 45% off of standard rates. Please book your rooms via the reservation phone listed below. Make sure to tell them you are part of Booking #1480, the Dorgelo-Lindsay wedding, otherwise they will tell you that the Inn is booked! Also, please be aware that the Inn's website will say that the weekend of the 9th and 10th is totally booked even though there are still rooms available to our guests, because we've closed the Inn to the general public.       The Furnace Creek Inn and Ranch Resort       Reservations Phone: (760) 786-2345       Email: reserve-fc@xanterra.com OTHER ACCOMODATIONS If all of our rooms at the Inn are booked, there are a few other options in Death Valley.
