The Haven at Cedar Grove 

4.7

Logan, OH
  • Up to 280 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

In 2016, Cedar Grove’s owners, Kevin and Julie Claus, were sitting on the porch of Stillwater Lodge with some friends, gazing upon their 65-acre property. With 6 cabins and 2 lodges running smoothly, it was time to start planning for their next adventure. They talked about their 3 children growing up on the property, and reminisced on how so many milestones were celebrated. With all their kids growing up, they talked about them finding love and how wonderful it would be to see them married on the property where they shared so many memories. That was the day the dream began! Kevin quickly grabbed a napkin and feverishly started scribbling sketches of a large lodge that could hold all of their friends and family, celebrating the futures of their children. In true Claus fashion, they did not let this vision pass them by, and got to working on the lodge right away.

We had our son's graduation party at this ranch with about 100 people, and honestly, it was just perfect. The place is beautiful with a huge, super spacious barn with really unique décor inside that made setting up a bar, dance floor, and tables super easy. The layout kept the flow of guests smooth and uncluttered, which made the whole party feel relaxed and comfortable. We also rented the three-bedroom brick house separately, which was great for getting ready and having a quiet spot away from the party for a bit. The side patio was wide and extremely well spaced for serving food, and since it was covered, it worked perfectly even when it rained with no interruptions at all. The golf carts for getting around were a fun bonus, and everyone loved cruising the grounds. And those sunsets? Absolutely gorgeous. They made the whole evening feel magical. Renting it was a seamless process and the staff was amazing! they really made everything easy and were super helpful. We’ve had so many friends say how much they loved the venue. If you’re thinking about a wedding, graduation, or any big get-together, this place is a total gem. We can’t recommend it enough!
