If a romantic, relaxing destination is what you are seeking for a getaway, elopement, vow renewal or mini-moon, SkyView at RiverDance has it all. As our special gift to you, we’d like to bring you some of Asheville’s best chocolate from The Chocolate Fetish, plus some of our local hard cider to add to your enjoyment.   As soon as you arrive nature’s magnificent splendor is ever so apparent.  From your own private deck, you will be intrigued by the ever-changing fog in the morning, the rich shades of green throughout the day, and the blanket of stars at night.  The big Laurel Stream echoes throughout and makes for an accessible setting to say your  “I do’s” for the first time, renew your wedding vows, or just capture that feeling of romance away from outside distractions. The opportunity to just be with one another, while creating lifelong memories.

That romantic feel continues not only with what nature richly bestows but with the thoughtful touches that are part of your cabin experience. A comfy king-sized bed, with soft linens, and a delightful morning mountain view to begin your day.  Our area is rich in outdoor adventure if that fits your fancy. Hot Springs, eight minutes away, sits right on the Appalachian Trail.   Or perhaps the porch is where you want to spend some time to just relax, read, or catch a nap.  At night there is a tabletop fire pit to add ambiance to your deck, or the wood-burning fire pit is yet another option.  On a chilly night, you might just want to snuggle up in front of the buck stove, where you can flip the switch, and you are ready to go.  The vaulted ceilings, full kitchen, and heated bathroom floors, all were very intentional with your comfort in mind.

When it comes to elopements the key is simplicity leaving details to the professionals. We have partnered with Elope Asheville to create a Scenic Retreat Elopement package.It includes three days at SkyView, a customized wedding ceremony with an officiant, filing of paperwork, premium photography, a cut flower bouquet, and a small wedding cake. We also are happy to work with your preferred elopement partner to provide a seamless experience.

Romance continues with a massage and soak in the soothing mineral springs of the Spa in Hot Springs. If a special dinner is on the table check out the Star Diner in Marshall profiled in Our State Magazine. Scrumptious (Insert link here)

If you want to have a handful of people be part of your day as well, RiverHaven, also on our property, is a comfortable lodging option.  Perhaps you have a planner that has a focus on elopements, and they can take care of all the details, while you lodge at RiverDance for a mountaintop experience.

The mountains are indeed magical, so when love is in the air, and you are looking for a romantic retreat experience, RiverDance.
