Amazing venue with a beautiful ceremony spot
We had a great experience with this venue for our wedding in July 2019! The venue is located in the middle of the beautiful mountains of Nantahala. Every nature/ outdoor-lover won't be disappointed with the variety of plants around and at the venue. The owner Jody Hafey is extremly helpful, sweet and available for questions! We were able to have multiple phone calls with her which helped us a lot planning our wedding from far away (we live in New Jersey). I'd absolutely recommend this venue and also the option of taking wedding pictures at Wayah Bald (30 minutes from the venue).

I am impressed with this beautiful venue.
Nice clean facilities and easy to navigate kitchen.
Lots of counter/refrigeration/freezer space. I chose to cook on premise for 50 ppl so I had to come prepared with lots of stuff. The owners are very accommodating for my specific needs. Book with confidence.
