The Space
Junebug Retro Resort is a genuinely one-of-a-kind mountain wedding venue set on 50 acres in a private valley near Weaverville, with a half-mile of river flowing through it, just 12 minutes north of downtown Asheville. The resort is home to ten restored 1950s campers that can be reserved for an event or rented for a mountain getaway, and across the river from the vintage campers you will find the event center, the Creek Lounge, and even a beloved resident alpaca. That mix of retro charm, river-valley scenery, and quirky, memorable details gives couples a wedding setting unlike anywhere else near Asheville. For couples who want a fun, unconventional, and beautiful mountain wedding, with vintage campers, a private river valley, and genuine personality, Junebug Retro Resort is a distinctive and unforgettable choice.
Capacity & Layout
Junebug offers couples a genuinely unique layout across its private river valley. The main ceremony area, Walnut Cove, can accommodate up to 150 guests under a canopy of walnut trees alongside beautiful Flat Creek, giving couples a stunning natural setting for the vows, while the event center and Creek Lounge anchor the reception and celebration. For the most adventurous couples, a two-story treehouse, completely supported by two old-growth Red Oak trees with fantastic views of the Pisgah Mountains, offers a Treehouse Micro Wedding for as many as 20 guests, the only place in the world where you can marry high up in the tree canopy. Individual campers can be rented, or the whole 50-acre facility can be reserved for the wedding, so couples can scale the celebration from an intimate treetop ceremony to a full 150-guest wedding along the creek.
Amenities
Junebug’s amenities are as memorable as its setting. Ten restored 1950s campers let the wedding party and guests stay right on the property, turning the wedding into a full retro-resort weekend, and the whole 50-acre facility can be reserved for the celebration. The Creek Lounge provides a distinctive bar and gathering space, the resident alpaca adds a bit of charm and fun, and the half-mile of river and walnut-tree canopy give the grounds a genuinely beautiful, playful character. The two-story treehouse, supported by old-growth Red Oaks with Pisgah Mountain views, is a one-of-a-kind photo and ceremony setting. For the entertainment, the enclosed event center gives a wedding DJ solid structure and controlled acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception stays lively and the dance floor stays full within a river-valley setting full of personality.
Location & Getting There
Junebug Retro Resort sits in a private valley near Weaverville, just 12 minutes north of downtown Asheville in the mountains of Western North Carolina. That proximity to Asheville is a genuine advantage, since guests can enjoy the city’s restaurants, breweries, and attractions while the resort itself feels like a secluded river-valley escape, and Asheville Regional Airport is a straightforward drive for anyone flying in. Asheville and Weaverville offer abundant lodging and dining for out-of-town guests, while Junebug’s own vintage campers let many guests stay right on the 50 acres. Yet the private valley, with its half-mile of river and mountain surroundings, gives the property a peaceful, tucked-away feel once you arrive. That balance of a genuinely unique, secluded mountain setting with quick access to Asheville is a big part of what makes Junebug Retro Resort so special.
