Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Gather your loved ones for a reunion-style long weekend wedding getaway at this historic mountain estate. Nestled in the Hot Springs valley, just 45 minutes from Asheville, this beautiful 1868 Victorian home has been thoughtfully restored to its former grandeur with plenty of modern updates for comfort and ease.
- Exchange vows under a beautiful walnut tree, then enjoy expansive mountain views from your reception under the large, open-sided pavilion or beneath a breezy tent on the lawn. Fantastic photo backdrops abound, from curated gardens and historic structures to woodland paths and mountain panoramas.
- From intimate elopements to gatherings of up to 80 guests, every destination celebration includes a 3-night booking of the entire estate. On-site accommodations with 10 bedrooms provide lodging for up to 20 loved ones, ensuring you and your guests have plenty of time to relax and enjoy together in this magnificent setting.
