  • Beautiful inside wedding corner as a bad weather backup or to display the cake.
  • Discounts on onsite lodging and nearby Lake Apalachia.
  • Packages for a day, overnight, or the whole weekend with lodging.
  • Wagon ride for the bride or wedding party to the ceremony and to reception.
  • Plenty of free parking, private "get ready" rooms for bride and groom, use of our decor like aisle runner, table runners, center pieces, servingware, and LOTS more.
  • Cater the reception yourself or we can coordinate with vendors.
  • Outside beer & wine is permitted.
  • Event packages for under $200 - Wedding packages for under $400

Amazing! Highly recommend

The venue was absolutely perfect!!! The reception hall included a private room for getting dressed for the ceremony. Debbie was very helpful and accommodating to us and our family and friends. Even has a tractor for transporting the wedding party down to the wedding site!! My wife and I were very pleased with how our wedding turned out. Very affordable and LGBT friendly!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
