Party questions
How much does it cost to rent Millerton Lake Villa for a party?
Daytime parties for 12 to 30 guests are $250 per hour with a 4-hour minimum and end by 5 pm. Evening parties for 50 guests comfortably (ask about larger groups) are $500 per hour with a 5-hour minimum. Every event adds a $350 cleaning fee. Groups of 11 or fewer can book the house for a stay (2-night minimum) instead.
What kinds of parties can we host?
Milestone birthdays, bridal showers, engagement parties, anniversaries, family reunions, graduations and retirement parties.
How many guests can come to a party?
Evening parties host 50 guests comfortably, and daytime parties 12 to 30 guests. For a larger group, ask us about your plans.
We are 11 people or fewer. Do we need to book an event?
No. The house has beds for 11, so a group of 11 or fewer can book a stay at the nightly rate (2-night minimum) and celebrate during it, with no event fee. If more people are joining for the day, book a daytime celebration for 12 to 30 guests or an evening event instead.
What time do events have to end?
Lights out is at 10 pm. The property is a quiet rural hilltop, so music and sound stay at a moderate volume.
Do setup and cleanup count toward our hours?
Yes. Your booked hours include setup and cleanup, so plan your schedule with that in mind.
Can we bring our own caterer and vendors?
Yes, and you'll need to. We rent the venue only, so you choose your own caterer, florist, photographer and other vendors.
Are tables and chairs included?
No. Most hosts rent tables, chairs and linens through their caterer or a Fresno-area rental company, who deliver and pick up within your booked hours.
Where do guests park?
On the property, with plenty of extra parking along the road.
Can we hold a family reunion and stay the weekend?
Yes. The house sleeps 11, so many families book the house for the weekend and add an event day for the wider family. Ask us about combining the two.
How far is Millerton Lake Villa from Fresno?
The villa is in Friant, California, about 45 minutes from Fresno and Fresno Yosemite International Airport, about 36 minutes from Clovis and about 15 minutes from Table Mountain Casino.
