The facility was a wonderful rustic setting. Very clean. Firewood was plentiful and put out a wonderful flame to add to our wedding experience. Many of our guest expressed their pleasure with the facility. Access to bring in our supplies and food was easy and parking was plentiful.

The ledges shelter is a rustic shelter located next to the most popular trail at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The rental was easy and everything was as expected. It has a bar available for buffet foods, two awesome fireplaces with wood supplied by the park, and plenty of room to have a celebration.

The Lodges was a great location. Since it was a nice day, I did not need to get the key to open the building but may for future events. Thank you! :)

The lodge was much nicer than expected. I didn't realize that there was a bar/serving area that made it so easy to organize our buffet. Also, it was very clean.

Stayed at Stanford House with family for a wedding. Only had chance to hike Ledges Trail since I was busy helping family with wedding, but this trail was beautiful. Staff at Stanford House and park rangers at Boston Mill Visitor Center were outstanding to help wedding coordination seamless.

The Ledges Shelter was a fantastic place to hide a family party. Outdoor shelter with shade. Inside shelter with tables and working fireplaces in case Ohio’s crazy weather hit and we had a snow storm. I’d recommend this for any party, although people do get confused and walk in to your party frequently looking for the bathrooms.

The Ledges hiking trail and shelter were perfect for our class retreat. Numerous students who felt unenthused about the idea of an outdoor adventure commented that they had a lot more fun than they had expected. We felt so blessed to be in such a beautiful space. We lit fires in both fireplaces and the shelter stayed warm and cozy. The big open field was perfect for kickball and football games. We'd love to come back next year!
