Why this cottage grove venue stands out

Nestled in Cottage Grove, Hope Glen Farm is a historical farm with over 130 years of documented history and tales that have etched themselves into the spirit of what is the farm. Featuring a beautiful cottage barn, a goat & chicken corral, and a fantastical tree house suite – this venue is an ideal farm for weddings, corporate events, or a weekend get away!

The barn itself is the most rustic part of the farm maintained to modern standards while keeping its unique charm. Ideal as a dance hall, the barn has a great wide room for dancing and live entertainment. Step out of the barn, and on the terrace, you can grab a quick refreshment. Embraced by the scenery, it is the most ideal location to catch your breath.

Across the barn’s terrace is the pavilion. Renovated as of 2022, the pavilion has French glass door surrounding the entire space giving you the choice of having an indoor or outdoor experience.  The dark wooden structure creates an elevated look to the whole pavilion, contrasted by the beautiful stone fireplace where the wedding couple sits at the helm of. With built in heaters on the rafters, controlling the temperature of the pavilion is simple and convenient.

The outdoor ceremony site stands in front an acre ravine and vineyard. Following from the pavilion by a path and a wooden bridge, the path guides the wedding guests to their seats, and the couple to the wooden arbor (available to rent and decorate in any fitting way). Surrounded by the natural scenery, the ceremony site captures the peak of the Farm’s beauty.

The groom’s room is located near the pavilion, detached as it’s own space. The space has a smart tv, full length mirror, cubbies an electric fireplace and much more. The bride’s suite is located on the main level of the barn, detailed to have enough storage options for the bride party. Both rooms were recently renovated, providing more modern amenities and relaxing space before proceeding to the ceremonies!    

Stepping into the Corn Cottage, the theme of an elevated rustic look is maintained. The modern but charming traditional look to the space provides it a beautiful look. The high ceilings leave enough space for a loft, where a stone walled bathtub awaits a guest of two. Underneath the loft is the kitchen, with modern cabinetry and warm overhead lighting that provides a glow to the countertops. The bedroom has a queen-sized bed with a wooden embedded into the wall acting as a headrest. A chandelier hangs above, elevating the room for the wedding couple.

The magnificent tree house cannot be done justice with words, as the house maintains an elegant look from its careful and considerate design. The house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a fully appointed kitchen and 2 fireplaces. The experience of home & hearth supported by a 150-year-old Burr White Oak tree. No room will have a bad view, as the scenery is lush and beautiful and the interior is considerately architected. The stone tiled bath add to the lush experience, and the subtle, but charming, details of the house elevate the full experience from something wonderful to fantastical.
