Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Tucked away in the lush heart of the Smokies, this stylish boutique hotel feels like a hidden gem in the mountains. Designed to showcase the area's natural beauty, there's also a host of luxurious amenities you and your crew will love: a saltwater pool, pickleball courts, pet-friendly rooms, spacious balconies, and a plush lobby lounge.
- Intimate indoor ceremonies are enhanced by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, an open-beamed wooden ceiling, and large meadow-view windows that add ample light. Or, opt to celebrate al fresco on the lawn, where you'll be surrounded by dramatic vistas of the gorgeous forested mountains.
- It's the closest lodging to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, making it the ideal home base for a destination wedding. There's something for everyone at this thoughtfully constructed retreat: your youngest, oldest, furriest, fussiest, and fanciest guests.
