Meetings & Corporate Events

Meeting and Event Space with a Mountain Backdrop

Tucked just outside downtown Highlands, North Carolina, our mountain retreat offers inspiring meeting and event spaces set among walking trails, fire pits and the fresh air of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Host strategy meetings with your team in our lodge style meeting rooms, take breakout sessions on the lawn, and regroup over drinks or a sit down dinner. Between sessions your team can wander into town, chase nearby waterfalls, or simply warm up by the fire and reconnect off-screen.
