Venues & Event Spaces near Highlands, NC

“We stayed here for my daughter’s rehearsal and wedding, and it truly made the weekend unforgettable. The wedding party was able to stay on-site in beautiful, well-appointed cottages that were spotless and stylish. The property layout was perfect for spending quality time with family and friends, both old and new. Everything was comfortable, convenient, and thoughtfully designed, making the entire experience far more than just a wedding day—it was a full weekend of memories. Highly recommend!”

“Beautiful well maintained space. We had a wonderful visit here. There is a nature walk through the grounds - there are various art sculptures installations along the way and the path leads you to a stream where there is a covered porch area you can sit and listen to the running water. It was so peaceful. They have a retail store that features local artists filled with so many unique items! There are a few galleries/ exhibits and the majority of the pieces were for sale. We enjoyed walking the garden and viewing the three exhibits in the main building. They also offer classes for adults and children. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful.”

“We are locals but had never tried Arrowmont. We did the 90 minute valley ride for my husband’s birthday, which descended down the mountain to a beautiful meadow with pond and fall wildflowers, and then climbed over creeks and rocky terrain winding back up to the barn. Our family (children 18 and 10) are pretty well experienced on horses and trail riding all over North America, but this was the most challenging (and beautiful) terrain thus far. The horses (Victor, Whiskey, Buddy and Dover) were well trained, responsive and hard working. This is the most ”in charge” I’ve ever felt on a horse and Whisky was very responsive. Joshua was a kind guide and seemed very at ease, and Eric was helpful back at the barn with booking the appointment and paperwork at the beginning. Jericho, the friendly dog, took to my kiddos quickly and followed us on the trail as our scout. Arrowmont feels like stepping back in time.”

“We have planned and coordinated many events at Lewis Hall. The director has always been very helpful before and during events. The venue has a great open layout and looks gorgeous is every design we've seen so far! We especially love that this venue has a service entrance for vendors, so their arrival and departure is always smooth and doesn't interrupt the event.”

“Great location. The cottage was nice and clean. The store is cute. My son enjoyed the farm animals and the play area.

The restaurant is an issue. I booked and made reservations. Then they decided they weren't going to be open for dinner after my confirmed reservation. But I had already booked the cottage so that's ridiculous and irresponsible.

Also they have an employee that goes around and I guess tends to the animals. As he's working he's smoking the whole time which is ridiculous. He shouldn't be allowed to smoke on the property at all, but then should at least have the common sense to put it out immediately when he sees a customer.”
