Fantastic space With may options for usages Crazy treehouse unit as well with own entrance for a unique getaway

If there's one thing that we've doing during this pandemic, it's we found all sorts of interesting TV shows. One of the more interesting shows we've been watching is Treehouse Masters. Did you know there is a treehouse right here in Minnesota that you can stay in? And it puts anything Treehouse Masters has made to shame. No offense to Treehouse Masters, they build some fantastic treehouses. The treehouse at Hope Glen is the next level. In fact, its several levels. After being so cooped up and not going anywhere, I planned this night out as a surprise to my wife. For the record my plan worked perfectly. She had no idea where we were going and packed like we were going to be stranded somewhere. Little did she know we were only going to be about 20 minutes from home. Hope Glen is easy to find, just down 61 in Cottage Grove. From what I read on their website this is a popular destination for weddings. The treehouse requires that reservations are made on their website. Once you have been confirmed you will receive an email with instructions. Parking was easy as their lot was empty when we arrived. You can't actually see the treehouse from the parking lot but if you follow the signs, a short walk around or through the pavilion and you'll see the treehouse. The entry is by lockbox. When you first walk in the door there is a beautiful sitting area and great fireplace. One of two fireplaces in the treehouse. This area opens up to the kitchen and a door to the deck. The kitchen has granite countertops and a full fridge, stove with oven and sink. If you take the stairs down you'll find the main bedroom which has the other fireplace. Across from the bedroom is a huge bathroom with a jet tub and big shower with a rain shower head. Upstairs and up the ladder is the lookout where you can see for miles. And don't forget about the secret room. Well actually the secret room has access to another bathroom too which you can only get to from the secret room. We really enjoyed our stay in the treehouse. There are games that we played and I lost but I still had fun. The treehouse is not an inexpensive night. But then again, this is a luxury treehouse right here in Minnesota. Did I mention that there is heating, air conditioning and heated floors too. In a treehouse! The owners were prompt and professional. We'd love to stay here again sometime. read more

So love the property. It's gorgeous and has a lot of nice features most venues don't have and they have a nice flow. 4 different spots for your day and have a nice flow. Ceremony outside, then you move the inside for dinner, then he will to another location for the bar, and then you go back inside to another location for dancing. However 11 grand (Just starting cost) for only being there for one day, not worth it. 9am-11pm that's the hard start time and they have a curfew and no shots! Like. if your trying to budget, follow me for more weddings tips! Don't go here unless that's something your looking for. Just remember $11,000 just to start for one day. read more

I got married to my husband here in July. We were happy to get the last Saturday in the summer with everyone rescheduling their wedding! Due to covid we only got to have a virtual tour, but Michael and Paula sold us! Our wedding day was perfect with the help of their own day of coordinator, Eryka. She is definitely worth the extra cost. We got so many compliments by our wedding guests that there was always something to do, especially during our almost 2 hour cocktail hour (touring the tree house, feeding and petting the goats, playing yard games, many photo ops). The cherry on top is that you get to stay in either the tree house or corn crib cottage on your wedding night (we picked the tree house). The tree house is so incredible and is actually available on AirBNB. My husband and I plan to stay there on our future anniversaries. 5 stars to the venue for the wedding and the tree house! read more

This week I had the pleasure of attending a Twin Cities Wedding and Events meeting at Hope Glen Farm's. This venue is one of the nicest I have ever seen. The place is just beautiful with all the amenities a Bride and Groom could ever want. They have a cottage for the Bride and her entourage to get ready in and a they have a small barn for the groom and his entourage to get ready in. The biggest plus is a tree house that is so stunning you won't believe your eyes. When you get inside, it's no ordinary tree house. It is a full size home with a big jacuzzi tub to relax it. What a great place to spend your honeymoon night. Plus the owners are just so nice. Getting married? This is the place to do it at. read more

I'm a bit sad to be the first review on Yelp for this venue. I became obsessed with Hope Glen Farm in my wedding planning adventures. The pictures were amazing. I started imagining all of my colors, decorations, and festivities based on the photos I had seen. When it came time to reserve the space, I excitedly called. And called. And called. And called. I left multiple messages. Now, I've read reviews on their website and on public wedding planning websites, all mostly favorable. The first reviews all commented on poor communication by the owners, but that seemed to get a bit better as the venue hosted more weddings. I'm not sure if the complete disregard of my many attempts to reach Hope Glen were yet another example of poor communication by the owners, or perhaps my obvious non-Anglo self (my name says it all) wasn't their preferred type of client, but either way it is horrible customer service. Potential new clients/brides should take heed that whatever patterns of poor communication Hope Glen Farm had at their debut, continue. Planning a wedding is stressful enough. The last thing a planning bride needs is a venue that never responds to her inquiries. Tsk tsk. read more

We had our wedding here a year ago and we still have people talking about it. The venue was worth every penny. The owners Michael and Paula are so kind and very good people. They truly care about each couple. read more

Hope Glen Farm - Perfect venue - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Cottage Grove, Minnesota

I absolutely love this venue! As a wedding photographer, Hope Glen Farm is one of my favorite venues to photograph! They have an outdoor ceremony site, a pavilion for the dinner, and a barn for dancing! They also have a beautiful bridal suite and a treehouse suite for the bride and groom to stay overnight. The owners are also very sweet and they do a wonderful job working with the bride and groom, as well as with their vendors. I highly recommend this venue for those Twin Cities brides and grooms that are still looking for a spot to say "I Do"! read more

I participated in a wedding that was here yesterday. It was not my wedding but I was at the farm all day preparing and setting up, etc. I can't speak to the management and dealing with them because I am not the one who planned the wedding. But I can tell you that from what I can see, this is a very cute place to get married! The ceremony was outside in front of a big interesting tree. It was a bit warm but beautiful! The reception was partially enclosed and it was perfect. It started raining, so it was nice to be able to still be outside but not get wet. There was plenty of seating and a beautiful venue to work with. The dance was inside the barn, which had some pretty big doors on it so they staged open and so the barn seemed nice and open to the patio/bar area. Several times while I was there I saw the owner hauling different things to be helpful. I hear that they do A LOT of weddings there, and from what I could see, they did a very good job. It has a country feel to it, obviously, because it is a farm. But it is so classy and charming, and I think it makes for a great wedding venue. read more

My fiance and I looked in to Hope Glen Farm for our wedding. I contacted them first requesting information about pricing and stated that we are a same-sex couple. Michael responded by simply stating they they don't have enough room to accommodate a wedding party of 8, and that was all he said. My fiance then sent him the same email, without stating that we are a same-sex couple, and included that we'd have a wedding party of between 8 and 10 people. Michael responded to her by giving her an abundant amount of information and had no qualms with a large wedding party. At the very bottom of his email he stated that they support outpostministries.org. Just in case you are unfamiliar, it is basically a "pray the gay away" organization. While he did not blatantly state that he refused information to me because both myself and my fiance are women, it is pretty clear that this is exactly why he did it. In the state of Minnesota all marriages are equal, and behaviors like this in a business setting are discrimination and are against the law. I'd also like to point out that they do support outpostministries.org so, please keep in mind that the money you are paying to host your wedding there is also funding this bigoted organization. Just one more item to note, he may post a response to this review justifying the way that he treated me and my lovely fiance because, that is exactly how he responded to her when she replied to his email an called him out. He claimed that they simply do not have room for a bridal party of 8, even though the main picture on their website shows a bridal party of 7. He also went on to say that they do believe marriage should be between 1 man and 1 woman, but it is our choice the live this lifestyle. read more

I recently attended a wedding here and was not at all impressed. It was a ridiculously hot day, and the ceremony site is in full sun. Needless to say, nobody was in a hurry to sit down. Eventually, the staff instructed people to find a seat . . . on wooden benches, painted dark brown, that had been baking in the sun all day long. CAUTION women in short dresses: Don't burn the backs of your thighs! I was in a long dress, and it was still scorching hot. Everyone in the wedding party walked all the way from the pavilion to the tree, and the next couple wouldn't start walking until the previous couple reached the front of the aisle. Whether that was the bride and groom's decision or Hope Glen's, I don't know, but under the circumstances, one would think they could have sped that process up a bit. The ceremony ended, and dinner didn't take place for another hour and a half. After dinner, the head table was served cake. The rest of us were waiting for ours, when we noticed other people coming from the direction of the barn with cake. A staff member opened curtains that left our table in the sun, which we certainly didn't need. It was hot enough to begin with. When we all got up to leave our table, she rudely said, "They're about to give their speeches." Here's a little tip: if you don't want people leaving the pavilion, serve everyone cake rather than setting it up elsewhere. An hour after dinner ended, the dance still hadn't started, so we left. Brides and grooms may love the uniqueness of this venue, but from this guest's point of view, it left a lot to be desired. It was way too drawn out of an event. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This was the worst wedding venue in terms of service and organization I've ever been to. We couldn't find anyone who worked there until an hour before the wedding. Zero help. Zero direction. Their policy must be "after you pay, we don't care." It's sad, as the venue is beautiful. Terrible ownership. Terribly maintained. Terrible experience. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Terribly unprofessional. Not worth the outrageous price to be ignored. Wish we would've had our wedding elsewhere!
