History

This lodge, originally built in 1923 for the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal Co., served as a campground for the company's executives. In 1989, the property underwent renovations, and a dance floor, bar area, and wraparound porch were added. The land went through various owners until it was sold to Jason Buggey and his family in 2019. Since purchasing Cherry Runn Lodge, Jason and Marie have worked hard to honor the space and create a venue full of joy and character.

Dream Venue

I can't say enough wonderful things about Cherry Run Lodge—it truly exceeded all of our expectations. Nestled in what feels like the middle of a serene forest, the venue offers a breathtaking view of an expansive, open field that creates an enchanting and peaceful atmosphere. The natural beauty surrounding the venue made it feel like we were in a fairytale, with the perfect balance of seclusion and elegance.

The venue itself is decorated so beautifully—classically elegant yet warm and inviting. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, from the floral arrangements to the subtle touches that added to the overall charm. It felt like a perfect blend of nature and sophistication, and it was exactly what we had imagined for our wedding day.

I have to give special thanks to Marie, our venue host, who made everything run smoothly. She was an absolute star throughout the entire process. Marie’s professionalism and calming presence gave me so much peace of mind. From the moment we arrived, I knew I could trust her to handle every detail. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything flowed perfectly, and her accommodating nature made me feel completely at ease. Her dedication to making our day flawless was evident in every aspect of the event.

If you're looking for a venue where you can feel confident that everything will be taken care of and your day will be nothing short of perfect, I wholeheartedly recommend this venue. Not only is it a stunning location, but it's run by a truly wonderful family that pours so much care and attention into every event they host. It was an unforgettable experience, and we will always treasure the memories made at this beautiful venue.

Thank you, Marie, and your beautiful family, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!

Stunning venue! 🤍

Our wedding at Cherry Run Lodge was truly a dream. Marie and Jason went above and beyond to make our day so special. They thought of every little detail, and because of them, everything flowed so perfectly. I felt zero stress knowing we were in the best hands. Not only were the owners incredible to work with, but the venue itself was absolutely breathtaking. All of our guests kept commenting on how beautiful the lodge was. Our day was beyond perfect, and if you’re trying to decide on a venue, I cannot recommend Cherry Run Lodge enough.

Simply the best venue!

Our perfect venue was found from the moment we drove into the entrance of Cherry Runn Lodge. Meeting Marie and touring the beautiful grounds confirmed the decision, as it was the ideal fit for us! Marie and Jason, the owners of Cherry Runn Lodge, are wonderful. They exceeded expectations during planning and on the wedding day to ensure that every detail was executed as envisioned. Thanks to their efforts, a day-of coordinator wasn't needed because they handled everything a hired coordinator would at a wedding reception. The bridal party enjoyed getting ready at the lodge that morning. The bridal cabin added a special touch to the photos – cozy and cute! We booked the Eagles Nest wasand it was perfect. This outdoor space offers a panoramic view of the property, including frequent eagle sightings. It provided a beautiful backdrop and made the reception extra special. Thank you, Marie and Jason, and all the staff at Cherry Runn Lodge, for making the wedding day the best- we can’t thank you all enough!

Bridal And Baby Shower

I rented the Cherry Run Lodge, located in Homer City, PA. It’s so beautiful! Ample parking, outdoor scenery with a lake, perfect for pictures. Inside has enough room for a small gathering or a large reception, and the newly added outdoor deck looks like a cathedral and can be used for the actual ceremony. The kitchen is very nice and convenient to keep foods cold or heated. Having 2 separate bars was very helpful. Not a lot of waiting in line for drinks. And the fireplace adds even more warmth and beauty. Not much decorating was needed because the owners installed beautiful overhead lighting and provides much of the linens, dishes, etc. But you can also just take your own if you choose. The staff was so willing to help accommodate us with anything we requested and even helped with suggestions and offered to stay on site in case we needed anything during our shower. I’d like to thank the owners, Marie and Jason, you could not have made both my daughter’s showers any more perfect!

Cherry Run

We had our baby shower at Cherry Run Lodge. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. The owners were amazing! They were extremely kind, helpful and accommodating. The venue itself is stunning and spacious. We had approximately 80 guests, but it could hold plenty more. It is also reasonably priced. We had a ton of compliments. We look forward to having more events there in the future.

Wedding Day

From day one Marie was always there to answer questions up until the time we walked down the aisle. Owners were more than accommodating and stepped in to help even without being asked when needed! Venue is very clean and well taken care of with breathtaking scenery. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding day.

Personable and easy to work with

My family has had several events at Cherry Runn Lodge. With each event, we had the most professional and friendliest interaction with Marie. Not only is she personable but she takes as much time that you need to work through the details. She gets to know you and your family in order to make your event exactly what you are expecting.
