An Enchanted Cottage & Greenhouse at Vaughan House
Imagine a storybook cottage, a fairytale getaway and a gorgeous greenhouse microwedding venue, all in a tucked away part of Forest, Virginia’s, close to the Blue Mountain Range.
A Fairytale Cottage Retreat
The storybook cottage feels crafted from legend. A turret spirals through three levels, each filled with charm and comfort. Inside, sunlight warms the solarium at dawn. By afternoon, a cozy library draws you into quiet magic. Outdoors, the stone courtyard glows with firelight beneath ivy-wrapped walls.
Adventure in the Blue Ridge Mountains
While the cottage and greenhouse set the stage for romance, nearby mountains invite adventure. Just a short drive from Vaughan House, the Blue Ridge Parkway and trails of the Appalachians beckon. Couples can lace up their boots and hike to sweeping overlooks that tower above rolling hills and valleys.
For those seeking something truly cinematic, picture exchanging vows at Vaughan House’s greenhouse, then stealing away for an adventure session—standing hand in hand at a Blue Ridge summit as the sun sinks low. The Smoky Mountains, just further south, offer even more trails, waterfalls, and overlooks for adventurous couples eager to blend romance with wild beauty.
The Greenhouse: A Dreamy Microwedding Venue
Steps away, the property’s greenhouse microwedding space, called the Enchantry, is pure enchantment. Glass walls and greenery make every vow unforgettable. Rain or shine, this venue ensures your ceremony feels magical. As daylight shifts, the greenhouse glows with candlelight or twinkling fairy lights. It’s the ideal Virginia elopement venue for couples seeking intimacy.
