MOUNTAIN RETREAT & EVENT VENUES

Play host at our serene venue for
mountain retreats in North Carolina

Host your next event at Wonderlust Acres, a one-of-a-kind venue that celebrates the natural beauty of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. Once a 1920s farm, our historic venue is charming and peaceful, a place to turn up or tune out. 

A distinguished 3,800-square-foot timber-framed barn overlooks a lively trout stream and picturesque ponds that complements the rich landscape. It’s the perfect setting for events of all styles, sizes, and ambitions, including (but never limited to): 

  • Corporate, spiritual, and artist retreats
  • Workshops and seminars
  • Festivals
  • Family reunions, birthdays, and retirement parties
  • Weddings, elopements, and anniversaries
