Air B&B weddings are popping up all over in Asheville and since I've photographed quite a few, I'm familiar with some great spots! Below I list + link wedding-worthy homes for you to browse but, first, let's talk about what you should look for when choosing a rental home for your Asheville wedding! Part 1 - Is a rental home right for my wedding? Now's the time to look for things that a traditional event venue may offer and decide if those are necessary for you. These decisions may be based on your guest list - is it just you 2 eloping to the mountains? Just immediate families with no special needs? Grab your guest list to reference then go through the list below. A traditional wedding/event venue will offer these things and a rental home likely won't:
Still loving the rental home option?! Now that you're ready to nail down a sweet lil rental for your big day, what should you be looking for? What to look for in the rental home to ensure a smooth wedding:
If you have to move this party indoors... It's likely you're planning part of the event to be outside but what if you need to move the whole event indoors? Every rental home is different but 2 things the can make a world of difference to capturing beautiful images indoors: window light and a nice style.
Part 2 - Where are the best rental houses in the Asheville area? On to the good stuff! Below are a few of my favorite Asheville area rental proprieties for your wedding or elopement! ModCabins - A set of 3 stylish and modern cabins in the woods. They even have beautiful covered porches for a rainy day back-up!

Pine Hollow - Multiple outdoor location options for a ceremony and reception! There's gorgeous trees, a lush yard and even little pond. Cabin Heaven - Cute cabin and some of the best mountain views I've seen from the sprawling lawn! River's Ridge Lodge - Spacious yet cozy cabin creekside with a killer deck and gazebo. And wedding-hosting experience too! Stecoah House - An incredible modern rental home for a stylish couple wanting the cabin vibes. Laughing Waters - Plenty of mountain views in WNC but we have a few spots for the water lovers too, like this one! Laurel Falls - Multiple cabins, rustic yet modern. Mountain views and plenty of photo spots! The Gables - Newly built home with room to sleep 20 and all the amenities needed for a fun family getaway. SKI Quaint Farm Barn Loft - This is such a cute option for an elopement for 2 - a modern charmer! Big Butte Retreat - Multiple cabins, very rustic, perfect for a giant sleepover with your closest family and friends in the mountains. Mountain views, a small pond and plenty of photo op spots! Weaver House - More of an event venue than an Air B&B but it is a house-like setting and since it's new - a hidden gem in WNC! Continue your search on VRBO, Air B&B or HomeAway - these have been helpful for my past clients. Don't forget to check out local Inns and Bed & Breakfasts in the area too. The owners are often excited to help coordinate the event with you and they provide great insight. And some have stunning settings, check out the gorgeous tree at Mountain Magnolia Inn for your ceremony backdrop or the stately setting at Albemarle Inn! Part 3 - Found the place! Now what?
