We are the Boswell family. Wolf Run Acres is concept that came about after hosting our daughters weddings and struggling to find the country setting they wanted. After hosting one on this site under a tent we rented, we decided this is a beautiful setting for a wedding venue. We wanted to give our guests a beautiful dream country wedding, but design it to be more industrial and modern and less rustic than comparable venues. Our hope is to give each couple, a unique, beautiful setting while ensuring they have the wedding of their dreams. We work with each couple from the time we meet them through their day, making sure we meet all their needs and coordinating with their vendors to ensure they have as stress free and enjoyable day as possible.

The Haven at Cedar Grove

Logan, OH
  • Up to 280 guests
  • Select services

  • 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 and some of our family were even able to rent cabins on the property, and those were beautiful and cozy as well.

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.
