Miss it Already

Liza was very helpful throughout my wedding planning process. I would message and email her and she would answer my questions within a day, sometimes immediately after I sent them. The large rules were very simple, and listed how to respect the property while staying there. I had 20 wedding guests plus myself and my husband staying there for the weekend of our wedding. Everyone was talking about how beautiful the lodge was, not just as a venue but also as a very cozy place to stay. Because it used to be a bed and breakfast, there were plenty of rooms and bathrooms to accommodate all of our guests. I mapped out all of the rooms for the guests in advance because some of them have multiple beds and others have their own bathrooms. To accommodate my different guests, I used the actual Lillaskog website because they have a 3D tour that you can take of the entire property. It was very helpful to freely go on that website and map out my plans. The view of the mountains from outside on the balcony and in the reception area is breathtaking. I hope in a few years we can come back to this beautiful place for another stay.

Fantastic location

This location is stunning. The views are amazing and made the most beautiful backdrop at sunset for our wedding reception. Everyone felt so comfortable and we’re able to relax and enjoy our wedding. The owners Tom and Liza were amazing. Very responsive and addressed all of our questions and concerns. Brought us extra supplies when needed and sent several people to help us during our big day. I really can’t recommend this venue enough.

Great Views Beautiful Lodge

This was truly an amazing place. The views are incredible. The price is fair. We had a small wedding of 15 people and it comfortably hosted all 15. The lodge inside and out was beautiful. We definitely plan on coming back in the future!

Liza Dadiomov
Liza Dadiomov
Lillaskog Lodge Owner/Operator

Tom McDonnell and Liza (Leeza) Dadiomov became the new Lillaskog Lodge owners in 2022. They had known of Lillaskog for many years, with Tom’s family’s whitewater rafting company (Sierra Mac River Trips) located just across the road from the lodge. Tom’s dad Marty had been friends with Bill, the original owner of the lodge. Tom and Liza fell in love with the lodge and even planned to have their wedding there. The pandemic shifted their plans, but they still dreamed of spending time at Lillaskog, and are thrilled to be the new stewards of this beautiful and special piece of property.

Tom grew up in Tuolumne County and has lived in Groveland for over a decade. Tom and Liza both have worked in the outdoor education and recreation industry for many years – Tom as a raft guide, and Liza as a backpacking and hiking guide. Lillaskog Lodge combines both of their passions for sharing the outdoors with others. Paired with their skills in Program Management, Reservations, Customer Service, and their vision for the future, they make a great team.

At the end of 2021, they were offered an opportunity to continue running Lillaskog, with the help of those who inherited it, and it has been a dream come true. They are both passionate about sharing their love of the outdoors with people and are looking forward to meeting future guests of the lodge and bringing their energy and ideas to Lillaskog!
