About
Retreat to the mountains of West Virginia
Experience the privacy and magic of nature, with deluxe amenities and special touches that give this venue the feel of a resort. Sweet Retreat is located in Hico, West Virginia, in the New River Gorge. The venue was crafted from indiginous timber from the surrounding property. Using the word "rustic" to describe this creation, does not do it justice. This woodsy fiield has hosted weddings in many styles and themes, from posh to enchanted and boho to forest chic. Any whimsical idea that can be envisioned will come to life in this natural setting.
