We had our wedding here (at the Crest Center) last year and you honestly can't get better views of…read morethe mountains anywhere else in town! Our wedding pictures turned out gorgeous and everyone from out of town gushed over the scenery. Being an out of town bride, the event staff was very accommodating and always answered my many questions (and follow up questions) promptly and thoroughly. We also didn't buy the right type of sparklers for our send-off and they happened to have some on hand for our guests to use. Totally above and beyond! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that they have the bride get ready in the women's restroom. The same restroom that many of my guests wished to use upon arriving at the venue. Not everyone saw me before I walked down the aisle but the wow-factor was taken away a tiny bit as many of my female friends and family members had already seen me in my dress. Also it was a bit stressful trying to calm my nerves before the wedding but having to greet people as they walked in the restroom door. I would still totally recommend the venue though, it was amazing!

I stayed here in November with my girlfriend for our anniversary. The cabin was clean and the area…read morewas also clean and nicely decorated. Our only issue was wasps, my girlfriend is allergic and there were 7 that we got rid of before the guy got there to vacuum the other live ones. The staff was very nice and I would definitely recommend this place if staying in the area. We looked at a couple other places and they were down right bland. We stayed here 4 nights since we were celebrating. Parking was easy and safe. The bed was comfortable and the cabin was very clean. The price was very reasonable and we were able to cook breakfast in the morning.

Aside from my husband singing endless Boyz II Men renditions each time we drove up to the cabin,…read morethis was a perfect stay for our long weekend. We stayed in B cabin, the bird themed one. It was so nicely put together and the attention to details were definitely appreciated. The cabin came with everything you may need, while keeping it clean and organized. I loved the little touches like having puzzles and kid books in the loft. The touches of making it 'bird themed' were just enough, and didn't make you feel like you were in a Hitchcock movie. While this was a kid free weekend for us, we definitely could see it being perfect for a family as well. Everything was well maintained. Communication with the staff was fantastic and we were really able to unplug and unwind. If you do get antsy and want to go shopping or exploring, Lake Lure is just a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again.

Celeste and…read moreChris, the owners, were very accommodating, communicative and friendly and it was super easy to book. I wish I would've gone through them when we had our original wedding...The farm is nestled in the mountains and while accessible from downtown Asheville, it's just far enough away that you feel like you are way out in the country. I requested a "boho/country" style and Celeste came through with vintage decor and gorgeous locally grown flowers. It was truly perfect and I couldn't have planned it better myself. I highly recommend!

If you're coming for modern technology and conveniences, this place is not for you. If you hate…read morenature, this is not the place for you. If you hate God or Christians, it's also not the place for you. However, if you like nature, the mountains, picturesque scenes and are looking for peace and quiet then this is your venture. I came here for a lawyer's meditation retreat and the view from my window was amazing. It overlooked the lake and I felt like I was in the movie "Dirty Dancing." I had a private room and the layout was interesting with the sink and mirror outside the bathroom (no TV either) but the closet was huge as was the bed. I'd love to come back with a significant other or to do writing since this feels like a perfect writer's refuge. I also make it through Lookout Trail, which is a challenging route so if you're a smoker, not in the best health, have issues with heights or aren't used to climbing you may want to pick an easier route. However there are trails for all skill levels so there should be something for everyone. I had a bunch of childhood flashbacks to camping trips so you may also like it here if you like camping. The staff I met was great and happy to help with any issues. I've recommended this place to family and considering my family are Christians from NC and my nephew recently graduated from a Christian school there, I'm surprised they'd not heard of this place.

Quality of the room service, bed was very comfortable, and all of the accommodations to make everyone comfortable during the stay. Place was always immaculately clean.

This was a fun filed event! (I didn't find a yelp page so I made this for One 13)…read moreWe never knew this place was here. I seen Stephen Freeman was going to have a show here. Stephen is a Elvis Tribute Artist. I have had him on my Facebook since 2013 but I have never seen him in person. So being a Elvis fan this was a night I was looking forward to. The show was sold out. When you arrive you are showed where to sit. This was a dinner show so they served everyone food first. The food was catered in by a local restaurant, by the name of The Coop. We were in for a treat. The food was amazing and plenty to each person who bought a ticket. They had Ham, turkey, & stuffing with gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce,Mac and cheese. And open bar with beer & Wine. With a banana pudding desert which was delicious! Then the show started with the DJ and they were handing out cool gifts to random people. The DJ announces Stephen and everyone started recording and taking photos as he came in. Stephen Did a mix of songs including a bunch of gospel & Christmas. He even invited Hunter Haynes up to Sing a local guy who loves Elvis and Singing, did an amazing job on stage. They both had everyone getting up to dance and taking video's and photos, it was a fun time. Especially sitting at the table meeting new people and making new friends who also were enjoying the show. When the show was over everyone went to meet him and get photos with him. It was nice finally meeting him after having him as a friend for over 9 years on my Facebook. Hope to see him perform again sometime.

Everything is comfy and the surroundings are beautiful . The surroundings include walking trails . I wish they would work on the food service. The food is not good at all. Its more like an old Golden Corral. This is something that needs to be improved . More fresh vegetables , real eggs, better quality meat and breads . They do offer salads at every meal which compensates for the poor quality food . What ever company that supplies their food it needs to be overhauled to better quality food . It should be restaurant quality . Everything else is great .
