The natural beauty on top of a mountain is inspiring. In October, the fall colors are gorgeous. The actual dining area is a very fancy "pole barn" than can be open or closed. This is a memorable place for a wedding, for sure. My only real complaint is the road into the facility. The "driveway" is about a quarter mile or so. It is unpaved, very steep, and winding. You have to try and maintain some speed going up or your tires will spin and you will lose traction. It was scary. I don't even want to think what would happen if you ran into a car going the other direction, because there is no room to pass.

I arrived before the rest of the group and had to figure out how to check-in. They had not told us the protocol just that it was contactless. I saw another group grabbing keys and followed their lead.. however it would have been nice to receive detailed instructions. The checkout process was just the same, confusing. The room was large, however we did plan on using the bed and the pull-out couch. The pull-out couch was probably in the worst shape and was actually more uncomfortable than sleeping on the floor, which is what we ended up doing. Overall it is a beautiful local with just extremely outdated amenities. If you kind of want to rough it just a little, you should check this place out.

The interior of the mansion is beautifully appointed and lavish within. Stepping through the doors brings you back in time to a place that was simpler, quieter, and more elegant. There is also the carriage house which is frequently the site of indoor weddings. The front of the estate holds a pond laden with blooming lilly pads and a covered pavillion for those who wish an outdoor wedding surrounded by southern nature's beauty. An area nearby is set up as a wedding ceremony site with the pond as a back drop. The owners, Amanda and Ellen Cantrel, are nothing if not inviting and accomodating. Mama Ellen is the matriarch of this household with her daughter Amanda handling the catering and event planning of the business. This location gives tours through this historic house, rents rooms out for the bed and breakfast, caters, does wedding cakes (gorgeous ones too), and host weddings that include everything from the location to the food to the decor. One stop dream wedding spot. I love this place. I love the owners and staff. A business transaction you will never regret.

I searched for a while and Jordan and her team blew my expectations out of the water!!! 1) She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. I'm a very detail-oriented person and she personally sent me her 5+ page planning document. I was so impressed and it was one of the many reasons showing me we picked the right caterer! 2) I asked for a diverse range of menu items -- and we had so much trouble narrowing it down because all of the options were so thoughtful and delicious! Jordan provided multiple options for many cuisines, including Asian, Italian, American and Pittsburgh-specific cuisine. We were blown away by not only that, but how flexible Jordan was with letting us pick several entree choices! 3) THE FOOD. Ugh, I'm still daydreaming about the food! It was SO GOOD. My husband absolutely devoured his meal and he is usually very picky about what he defines as a great steak -- he was STOKED. And we got so many compliments from wedding guests! 4) Jordan came to us once during our reception to check-in, with a huge smile on her face and the best energy. Little did we know, she was dealing with absolute CHAOS behind the scenes. Verbal harassment, no prep spaces (which had been promised via writing) and a whole bunch of food that needed to be prepped. Somehow, her team still managed to serve everyone a high quality meal that people raved about. She was also so considerate and waited to inform me until after we decompressed from the wedding with complete professionalism. Her crisis management deserves a gold star. We were appalled to hear she was treated so terribly but still provided the highest customer service. 5) The CAKE! Cally made the most delicious chocolate espresso cake and it was BEAUTIFUL. I snacked on it the whole car ride home because every bite makes you want more. Yum, yum, yum!! Thank you to Jordan and her team for just being SO phenomenal. I wish I could just get married again next weekend so I can have her food again

It really couldn't have been a more perfect experience from the point of view of the groom's parents : ) I wish I had the chef's name - the food was excellent! The bride and groom were able to select menu items in advance during a tasting and the items served at the event did not disappoint. Everything exceeded expectations! The servers were very safety conscious and were masked and careful about serving and presentation. The venue was beautiful. It accurately describedon the website, "The Laurel Room at High Vista offers a stunning panoramic view of the Blue Ridge mountains in all directions through a room wrapped in windows and balconies. The interior has a timeless A-frame wood beam construction, vaulted ceilings, and expansive stone fireplace." For our son's wedding, he and his bride selected the rain or shine option of an outdoor wedding under a tent - an elegant solution that was perfect for wedding guests to stay safe and enjoy the ceremony. We moved downstairs to the Robinson Pub for the cocktail hour and again, guests could enjoy the pub or remain outdoors at tables. We moved to the Laurel Room for the toasts, food, music and dancing. Once again, with open doors and windows and access to the wrap-around balcony and patio, guests were able to safely mask indoors as needed and enjoy dining in the fresh air as chosen. The servers were professional considerate and responsive. It is hard to say enough about the wonderful wedding experience at the Laurel Room! If you are considering a venue with amazing views, safe options and even easy parking, you have found the perfect wedding place. Thanks Liz and colleagues for an evening that was enjoyed by all and will be an amazing memory for a lifetime!
