Our Heritage

Restoring a Piece of History

Originally built as a dairy barn in the early 1940s, this historic timber structure had stood empty for decades. In 2018, the Vance family fell in love with the surrounding forest and set out to fully restore the barn.

Our goal was to preserve the authentic craftsmanship—including the massive hand-hewn cedar beams and vaulted double-pitched roof—while updating the venue with modern accessibility, elegant lighting, and preparation suites. Today, we open our doors to share this beautiful piece of Pacific Northwest history with couples starting their own journeys.
