We got to host our wedding at Love Ridge Mountain Lodging and we loved the experience. We appreciate the setting because it is beautiful, accessible and appropriately private. Having the 12 cabins there, as well as the camp sites, gave our guests many options and ample parking. All the rooms and beds are super comfortable. It was a perfect place to host a large gathering. People stayed two nights and enjoyed relaxing activities while we focused on staging the wedding - they could hike, ride e-bikes, play lawn games, relax in hot-tubs, and play with our photo booth. It was great! There were many spaces to choose from to create various atmospheres for the wedding. We used the lodge, the gathering lawn, the courtyard, and we had a tent on the open field for the reception dinner. We also had multiple bonfires and bar sites. It made the event feel varied and exciting, while keeping everyone in one place. The venue owners were very helpful and accommodating, happy to work with us during the planning process to make sure everything was taken care of. We're thus very happy to recommend this place!

The barn is stunning - a stone fireplace, beautiful bridal suite upstairs, and a full catering kitchen. The outside is somehow even better! Great views of the mountains, fields of lavender, a pond, and a just beautiful setting for wedding photos. Highly recommend Silver Fox Lavender Farm for your special day!

The Perfect Venue for the Best Day of Our Lives We hosted our wedding reception here as a cocktail party under the stars, and it truly was everything we dreamed of and more. The setting was stunning, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that felt straight out of a fairytale. Even though it was mid-June, the evening turned out to be a bit chillier than expected. We had originally set up cooling units for the caterer, but with a quick change of plans, the team seamlessly switched to heating units on the back deck. Their flexibility and professionalism meant everything went off without a hitch. The entire experience—from the ambiance to the attentive service—was flawless. I wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate our wedding anywhere else. It was the best day of our lives, and this venue played a huge part in making it so special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, adaptable, and unforgettable place to say “I do.”

I can't say enough good things about Avon Hill. The venue landscape and barn are soo beautiful on their own, our wedding required very little decor. It was important to us that our wedding party and family stay on the property. Having the lodge there made our wedding weekend that much more amazing. Jocelyn was soo amazing to work with. She was very quick to respond and answered all of my question no matter how ridiculous they were. I just can't say enough good things. This venue is amazing!

There are so many options to make your event exactly what you want it, and the staff is so great and easy to work with. Best of all- the fees go towards sending special needs children to camp. Cannot recommend it enough!!
