Amenities A/V Equipment Bridal Suite/Changing Rooms Onsite Street Parking Valet Parking Wifi Ample Parking Onsite Dining Chairs Dining Tables Onsite Restrooms Venue Features The Scene: Log Haven began its romantic appeal in 1920, when Mr. L. F. Rains, a Salt Lake businessman and member of the Metropolitan Opera Company, created this log hideaway as a wedding anniversary gift for his wife. Logs from Oregon were shipped via San Francisco to Salt Lake City and then hauled up Millcreek Canyon by horse-drawn wagon. Since the many fireplaces were Log Haven’s only source of heat, the structure was used as a summer home by the Rains family and became a gathering place for many local executives to explore the mountains, fish in the creek. The Wasatch Room with it's spacious foyer and pass-through fireplace was the living room where executives used to patch plans for the future of Salt Lake City and Utah. Design: Log Haven’s most popular outdoor dining spot is located at the base of a breathtaking waterfall and a natural spring (we serve mountain spring water for our dining guests). With 360 degree views of the Wasatch National Forest, the patio provides a memorable backdrop for dining. Encompassing the patio are beautiful Oregon logs that date back to the 1920.
