The Cabin

Located in Bend, Oregon, this quaint venue is hidden among the trees. The cabin itself offers two rooms— one for each partner to get ready in. It even has a large kitchen that is perfect for those who want their catering prepared on site! The main room of the cabin features high ceilings and ample natural light from the windows that overlook the trees and ceremony site.

The Ceremony + Reception Space

The ceremony space is nothing short of INCREDIBLE. Like, jaw-droppingly beautiful! This space is right outside the the cabin, situated on the cliffside overlooking Tumalo Creek + the mountains, and surrounded by large pine trees.

The reception space is perfect for your intimate wedding. It is an open area where you have the freedom to arrange tables to fit your needs! To the side of this area is a large dance floor surrounded by string lights and gorgeous pines— perfect to boogie the night away.
