LET’S HEAR FROM OUR GUESTS

My husband and I are so glad we found Lake Eden as our wedding venue. By the time we found it, we were getting frustrated because we looked at several venues, but none of them fit our vision. The moment we arrived at Lake Eden, we knew we found the place!

The venue, scenery and weather were all spectacular. We went back earlier this year to relive some of the memories. It doesn’t get better than Lake Eden…

J. Whitler

We are still hearing many comments about the beautiful setting for Jen and Jamie’s wedding! The day turned out fair just in time! We appreciated all the help in tent placement, in hauling us around in the golf cart, and putting out the chairs at the last minute. George, please tell your wife how much we appreciated the use of your home for dressing and relaxing the afternoon of the wedding. That is a very important part of your service! I think that the young people who stayed on site had a very wonderful time, also. We think we found the best spot for the wedding ceremony (overlooking the lake and the mountains). Thanks for letting us have the run of the place.

I would recommend Lake Eden as a perfect wedding location to anyone.

After traveling from NH to pick up our daughter from college, the cabin couldn’t have been any more welcoming. It was just what we needed… George checked in on us the first night to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It was warm, clean, inviting, and relaxing. It is rustic but has everything you need. We couldn’t have been in a more fitting place. Asheville and Warren Wilson were just minutes away, but upon returning to the cabin, we felt like we were away from it all.
