The Loft, Newly Renovated Banquet Facilities

Pcture of The Loft banquet facilities

The newly renovated Loft banquet room is the perfect venue for patrons looking to host small-to-medium sized social functions in a fun, scenic atmosphere. The principal feature of the Loft is a newly installed wall of windows overlooking the lake.

Olde Harbor Inn owner Steve Burroughs said, "We wanted to create an area for private dining and banquets that would take advantage of the celebrated views of Portage Lakes." While the former space had a few windows, the new Loft has almost 30 feet of windows overlooking the lake. Additionally, the entrance to the Loft has been remodeled and the entire room painted.

The banquet menu features creations from Executive Chef Clayton Cundiff.
