    In 1993, we purchased Arrowhead Road Resort and renamed it Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabin, after a pine cone that grows on the site and resembles a rose. After a gorgeous oak tree died, we created our distinctive log and branch gazebo at Hidden Creek, which was located at the base of a natural amphitheater, making it the ideal place for weddings. Jolene's father wanted to create her a dream wedding venue when she decided to get married in 2007. As a result, we put a lot of thought and attention into the design of our website. More decking and a cake gazebo were installed. A water feature was one of Jolene's top priorities for her wedding. So her father constructed a year-round stream and pond for her. We put in a lot of effort to make the most of the natural terrain. Our wish is for every couple to feel the same love and joy that we did on the day our daughter married. You're invited to discover the romance of nature with whispering pines and babbling brooks at our one-of-a-kind Rustic Natural Forest wedding location. Your wedding images and videos will be absolutely spectacular with the picturesque woodland settings. Imagine your ceremony taking place in a gorgeous custom Log and Branch Gazebo, with housing provided by Pine Rose Cabins for you and your guests the night of the celebration. Our wedding planners are dedicated to making your special day the best it can be. They take care of the vendors and logistics, allowing you to focus on enjoying your special day and making memorable memories. A professional Wedding Coordinator is included in all Pine Rose Wedding Collections to personally accompany you through the process.
