Wonderlust Acres

Looking for complete privacy, surrounded by nature in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where you can relax and connect with your friends and family on your magical wedding weekend? A place of beauty and solitude in the Appalachians, where you have no stress because you have Fri-Sun to prepare/ set up/ have your event/ and have time to hang out afterwards? Not interested in being churned out as another number for a big business venue where multiple weddings are being crammed into a weekend, and you only get a quick timeslot for a rehearsal? Wonderlust Acres was built completely from the ground up, with this idea of community and relaxation in mind for those who choose us. Our 11 acre oasis includes lodging (on-site and nearby, along with the owners remodeled motor lodge, diner, and general store only 2 miles away!), camping, glamping, a pro level 10 basket disc golf course, plenty of yard games, multiple pavilions for smaller gatherings or bands/ DJs to set up, mutiple fishing ponds, a huge trout stream as the center of focus, easy access and parking for 200, and a huge timber-frame barn complete with oversized glass garage and slider doors, outdoor patio, tables and chairs for 150, ADA compliant bathrooms, catering kitchen, changing rooms, and even an additional barn for your bar and lounge and billards room with additional outdoor seating for 84!

Owner Vision

The owner's main source of income is through his real estate practice and investments, making the event space a passion project first rather than just a business. His goal is to provide a beautiful place that celebrates the outdoors, where guests can unwind and relax, and connect with each other, so the venue specializes in stress-free full weekend weddings at reasonable prices.
