Why We Like This Place
The name might suggest a humble little structure, but the Presidio Log Cabin is anything but. Although it is made of logs, it’s more like a grand hunting lodge, with its solid fieldstone foundation and spacious interior.
Hanging across the front of the building, the words “Log Cabin” announce you’ve arrived—a marker left over from its days as a party hall for soldiers of the Presidio. Since it was built in 1937, the facility has seen its share of festivities, but its sturdy timbers have been beautifully maintained. Ceiling beams and columns are made of actual tree trunks, and there are giant wagon wheel chandeliers overhead. The Old West flavor feels authentic here, and adds a fun element to parties without being over the top. Casual events like company picnics often play up the country-western theme by including cowboy costumes, country music and square dancing. However, for wedding receptions and formal dinner parties, all it takes is candles and flowers to make the place glow with a rustic elegance. In fact, when the huge fireplace is lit and the room is warmed by guests dancing and celebrating, the ambiance is downright cozy.
During warm weather, the Log Cabin is great for an indoor/outdoor event. Get married on the expansive front lawn, either under a tent or in the open sunshine surrounded by nature. From here you have a view of the woods and snippets of San Francisco Bay. Afterwards, host a cocktail reception on the lawn, followed by music and dancing inside the Log Cabin. The large covered patio at the entrance is often set up with small tables and chairs, and used as a cocktail area between the wedding and reception.
You don’t come across many log cabins in the sophisticated city of San Francisco, and this may be the only one where you can have a smashing party. It’s also probably the only place where you can wear a tux or a cowboy hat and feel equally at home.
