Almost every log that is part of the cabin is from the cedar trees on the property. After cutting down the cedar logs, they cured for three years and then the Newtons hired professionals to stack the logs in structuring the cabin. “Charles was extremely picky about his logs; the more red the log is, the longer it will last,” Jacque said. “Getting 12 red logs in one day was a good day for him.” From production to their fi rst Thanksgiving family holiday in the cabin, it took the Newtons nine years to complete Cedar Haven Lodge. “It was very much a family group project,” Jacque said. “We always intended the cabin to be a home away from home for us.” However, before the Cedar Haven Lodge was even fi nished, a young couple approached the Newtons asking if they could have their wedding there. Jacque felt the setting didn’t look good enough for the wedding but the couple said it was “perfect.” After Cedar Haven’s fi rst wedding, word of mouth began to


reach other families interested in holding family reunions and weekend getaways at Gloss Mountain Outfi tters. Jacque then up- dated a website to advertise and inform potential Gloss Mountain Outfi tters customers. Cedar Haven Lodge’s interior includes a balcony, basement, loft


and main fl oor that totals to more than 2,000 square feet. The porches consist of 1,300 square feet, a fully equipped kitchen has three ovens, and the use of outdoor cooking is available with an entertainment area. The lodge also happens to be on Northwestern Electric Cooperative lines. “April through mid-July is our busiest time,” Jacque said. “We start opening the area again at the end of September through November; the weather is nicest during this time and it’s good to go out and do outdoor activities.” While the cedar cabin is completed, Jacque is lobbying her family to build a bunkhouse on the property too, in hopes they can hold larger parties of people on the ranch for their family and customers. Still, the Newtons could not be more thankful for what the Lord has given them through Gloss Mountain Outfi tters and Cedar Haven Lodge. It’s a dream for the couple to have their children enjoy it, years after they are gone, Carl said. “At the core of it, God did an awesome job creating all of this,” Jacque said. “God put this here for us and it’s a blessing to be a part of his creation.”


The master bedroom in Cedar Haven Lodge overlooks the dining and living area from the second story and has a entrance to the balcony.
