House Mountain Inn

Getting married at HMI was a dream come true. The setting is stunning, the property itself is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and the team is hands-down amazing. Our dedicated coordinator Jamie handled every possible detail with calm grace and expertise, and her team managed our event incredibly smoothly. Throughout the entire weekend, we felt so taken care of and in awe of the venue, despite a literal hurricane coming through. We are so happy with HMI and can't wait to return to relish in the memories.

We recently hosted a wedding weekend at the Irvine Estate at House Mountain Inn for my daughter and son in law. Everything from the wine and cheese kick off on Friday afternoon to the after party post wedding, was perfect. We chose this venue because they were easily able to accommodate our large wedding (210), the views are just magnificent, the staff are all pros and the facility is just the right combination of relaxed and beautiful. We could not be happier with the weekend and would recommend this venue to any bride and groom looking for a wedding spot in the Shenandoah Valley.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than The Irvine Estate at House Mountain Inn! The setting was absolutely stunning, and the experience was made even better by Jamie, the venue manager. Jamie went above and beyond in every way possible, serving as an amazing coordinator and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made our wedding day truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with a dedicated and exceptional team, The Irvine Estate at House Mountain Inn is the place to be. Thank you, Jamie and team, for making our dream day a reality!

This venue is Amazing! The service was exceptional from the start. Carrie and Jamie are wonderful people and communicate effectively whenever there was an exchange either in person, by phone or email. They provide quotes ahead to help with planning and budget. The venue was perfect, we recommend staying on site if possible, the food was exceptional and the view is beyond spectacular. We are so happy we were able to have our daughter’s wedding here! I highly recommend!!

Irvine Estate is absolutely beautiful - our guests were awestruck with the mountain view and the lovely interior of the reception space. Carrie was amazing to work with and they setup everything to look exactly as we envisioned. Everything ran smoothly and it was so wonderful that we didn't need to stress over setup! Their vendor list came in handy when looking for a marriage commissioner, DJ, and lighting options.

Our daughter got married here on October 27, 2023 and it was fantastic! The venue is beautiful, the staff was amazing , and our coordinator, Carrie, was absolutely phenomenal. There was not a detail that was overlooked. Carrie kept us calm during anxious moments and her steady and professional demeanor kept everyone organized. It was a true blessing to find such a wonderful setting for our daughter and son-in-law to begin their life together. We highly recommend House Mountain Inn.

My daughter was married at Irvine Estate on October 7, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out! From beginning (two years ago, haha!) to end, from the food to the accommodations, and all the things in between, we couldn't have been happier! The event planner, Jamie, was a godsend, she coordinated the schedule, menu, vendors, rehearsal, and all the other details that we never even thought of! It really allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. The views are breathtaking, and so many of our guests said it was the best venue they ever experienced!! My daughter and her new husband said it was "perfect" and that's the goal, after all!!

My wife and I had our wedding at House Mountain Inn last weekend. As anyone who visits the property will see, it was the beauty of the location that convinced us that it was the place for us. Of course, many other considerations go into that decision as well though. Pricing wise, House Mountain was eminently reasonable in every way, which was even more amazing when considering the quality of the food and service they provide. So many of our guests raved about the food served to them all weekend. Also, including a day-of planner who knows the property and has handled hundreds of weddings there is extremely helpful. We saw all of the work and effort that went into making our wedding weekend (we had our rehearsal dinner there as well) perfect. Carrie was our primary planner, but Jamie was able to help out as needed as well. We cannot say enough good things about the property, location and staff at House Mountain. We want to send a huge thank you especially to Carrie for all of her hard work, but really to all of the House Mountain staff!

House Mountain Inn was such a fabulous location! The staff was friendly, professional, and adapted really well to situations and changes. For example, our centerpieces for the altet weren't standing up due to the wind. Carrie and her team added weights to the bases and coveted it with white linens. They always had open communication and made our day super easy and amazing!

We got married at the Irvine Estate and this place was AMAZING! The views can't be beat for the surrounding mountains! They were easy to plan with, and everyone loved our stay and the wedding. The food was really good too! We had a lot of people tell us how much they enjoyed the food, how well planned the wedding was, and how gorgeous the scenery was at House Mountain Inn and the Irvine Estate. We got married during a literal windstorm and Carrie and her team were great in making sure everything was good to go and any last minute changes that were needed were made. We lost power for about 20 minutes, but the generator kicked in and it was perfect! Book them!!

I could not have asked for a better venue or team to have worked with. The convenience of lodging, rehearsal dinner, and all of the wedding being in one location was a gift and allowed for our families to mingle longer than merely the few hours of the wedding. The team was great and extremely professional while offering great expertise and friendliness. Jamie (our wedding coordinator) helped everything go FLAWLESSLY. I had zero worries about the timeline, what was next, as she smoothly guided the entire day and was so calm, and clearly directed what was planned. I could not have had a better experience, and that’s all without mentioning the views!!! The wedding photos are genuinely out of this world and I am still blown away. I recommend to everyone easily!

HIGHLY recommend this venue to couples looking to get married in Virginia. Our wedding weekend could not have gone smoother thanks to Jamie and her team at Irvine Estate (one of the venues House Mountain Inn offers). They expertly addressed any questions or problems that came up during the event without any sense of concern or panic. It also goes without saying that the venue is absolutely stunning, all of our guests were raving about the amazing views. While email communications were not always quick, we understand they are so busy with continuous wedding events, and we eventually got all of our questions answered. Their expertise on how to make a wedding run smoothly truly can't be matched, and we are positive we made the right choice to get married at Irvine Estate.

I had such a beautiful wedding weekend at HMI/IE. The team was absolutely 5 stars. When my mom and I visited HMI for the first time, we both fell in love. As soon as I saw the view from IE Pavilion, I knew I wanted to get married there. It was raining, but it was still gorgeous. The shower came and went. The covered pavilion stayed dry and comfortable and I knew if it rained on my wedding day, I could still have my ceremony there and my guests would be comfortable. The communication was on point, especially in the beginning. Jamie was quick at responding to ALL of my questions (and I had a ton). It was a bit slower closer to the wedding day as the fall season is BUSY with other weddings, but that was completely understandable. There wasn’t anything crucial that needed prompt replies. Jamie met up with me months in advance and we developed a schedule for the two day wedding. I had my traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony on Friday and my western ceremony on Saturday. She asked me questions I didn’t think about for wedding planning. Pretty much everything I asked for was accommodated (and again- I asked for a lot). We used HMI for catering (for both the tea ceremony night and the western ceremony reception) as required, but they also allowed us to bring some of the Vietnamese traditional food (fruits and rice cakes). We rented out all 15 rooms (10 at HMI and 5 at IE). Almost my entire extended family was able to stay (we also rented out a house at a nearby airbnb for overflow). It was like a big family reunion/sleepover. My family brought air mattresses and we all stuffed in all of the rooms. The rooms were large and comfortable enough to fit several queen sized air mattresses (we were able to cram 3 queen size air mattresses into the bridal suite and had 8 of us chilling in there). They also had rollaway beds that we could use. The rooms were all great. The ones with the fireplaces were incredibly cozy. I didn’t get a chance to use the jacuzzi tub or hot tub, but when I arrived late at night, the hot tub was HOT, even though it was chilly out. I had family use their hot tub and they didn’t have any issues. I was able to rent out two of the HMI rooms the Thursday before my wedding. There was a wedding the Wednesday night before and the HMI staff cleaned the place up so quickly and quietly. I didn’t even notice. They were so kind to clean the bridal suite early on Thursday so we could move all of our stuff in before 3pm. My family arrived on Friday. We DIY’d a bunch of our decorations. We were able to start setting up at 11am. Check in is not until 3pm, but some of my family showed up early and the staff was SO QUICK with cleaning all of the rooms and letting them check in early if their room was already cleaned. They didn’t have to do that and I am grateful. Even though my family brought in most of the DIY stuff, the HMI staff helped with a lot of the breakdown. I can’t thank them enough. Apparently my backdrop was really unstable and sad looking and Jamie was able to bring in their green hedge and decorate it with the florals that I brought. It looked absolutely beautiful. There was no way I could’ve done that with what I had. We are 2.5 weeks out from our wedding and I am still hearing about how wonderful my wedding weekend was from my guests. There was much love and fun. Everyone had a blast, myself included. Thank you so much HMI! Y’all are amazing. There’s a word count limit here so see complete review on WeddingWire!

Our family is from Northern VA and we heard some small mumbles about how "far" this venue was. All of those mumbles were silenced on the day of our wedding - everyone was taken away by the beauty of Irvine Estate and this venue. The staff only heighten this already amazing experience. Jamie answered all of my questions from even before we booked to the next day! They took such good care of us, and because of Jamie & the whole team, our wedding day went flawlessly. We cannot recommend this venue enough. If you are on the edge - just DO IT! It will be so worth it! One of our guests said to us, "I've been to a ton of wedding venues and weddings, but this one... this one is something special." I think that sums it all up pretty well!

Cannot recommend this venue enough! The views alone are to die for. The service is top notch and the staff is awesome. Could not have asked for a better team to work with and they made for a perfect day and a perfect weekend!

Our experience was amazing from start to finish. Jamie and her team are a step ahead of any concerns or questions that might arise. The beauty of the venue is unrivaled and the friendly, kind wedding planners and staff make for a fabulous experience all the way around!

Incredible views, excellent service and the most convenient rooms to get ready in. This was easily one of the best choices for our wedding. Everything exceeded our expectations and the wedding planner we had with the venue, Jamie, made sure everything went off without issue. We were so impressed with the care and attention they gave our special day. They were even willing to work with us to reschedule because of COVID. Absolutely no complaints!

My husband and I decided on a winter wedding to keep costs down, and because I adore the snowy aesthetic. He's from Virginia, and loved the idea of having a wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains (he knows how much I love mountains.) EVERYTHING about this venue was perfect - because of the off-season pricing we were able to afford both Irvine Estate AND HMI, and I loved them both. Either is great for a wedding and reception, and both is great for a wedding weekend! The best part is that your venue cost includes their wedding coordinator services! Jamie Grue was our day-of coordinator and she was excellent. I DIY'ed our decor, and she brought all of my ideas to life flawlessly. Plus, they let us use some draping left over from a previous wedding at no cost! The food was delicious, the views are gorgeous, and we got so many compliments from all of our guests about the venue. I can't wait to go back for my anniversary!

Jamie and her team are simply the best. The venue was absolutely gorgeous (we got married at House Mountain Inn) and it was magical in every way. Jamie and her team executed our vision with flawless ease. This is truly the one-stop-shop for weddings as there is very little you need outside of the venue - it's that naturally beautiful. Not only that, but you cannot ask for a better experience in their service, professionalism, and skill. I could not be more grateful for our wedding weekend and would highly recommend this venue to anyone!

Guys, I'm absolutely obsessed with our wedding venue. Hand-down, Jamie and the staff at Irvine Estate/House Mountain Inn were the absolute best to work with. I can not say enough good things about them. The moment I saw the first picture of this venue I was hooked. The relationship I had with them couldn't have been better. They took care of so much for us. When the pandemic hit, they were so responsive and helpful. They did everything they could to make the venue safe for us and our guests. Every single one of our guests made comments to me about how beautiful the venue was and how great the staff were. The view is unbelievable, the food was amazing, they took care of everything and made it so easy on us. We can't wait to come back and visit for our first anniversary. I can't thank them enough for all they did. I highly recommend them!

Although we weren't able to hold our wedding at this venue (no available dates would work for us) I can truly say it had the most amazing customer service I've experienced. Jamie is amazing and the rest of the staff is extremely attentive and welcoming! You will not be dissapointed if you pick house mountain as your venue!

Jamie and her staff were amazing to work with- hands down! We were living out of the country when I sent my parents to check out the venue in person and it was an easy decision to make after that! Both venue locations were beautiful but we used the lower one (with the arbor and waterfall). The lodge staff were very welcoming and so supportive over the weekend, they really made it feel like home. Jamie was very detailed and organized and we were able to work very well electronically to finalize all the details for the event. She made everything very easy for us. If you're (or your mom) are type A people, this is a great venue option to have the wedding of your dreams without putting in the time and energy of a DIY wedding. I can't wait to return for another visit as a regular guest!

I am not even sure where to begin writing this wedding review about Jaime and her amazing wedding team at House Mountain Inn and The Irvine Estate. The ambiance at House Mountain Inn and The Irvine Estate is everything you can ever dream of for a wedding venue. The rustic décor and feel is amazing. The atmosphere and views that both of these venues provide are breathtaking. Picture perfect moments live within every aspect of this place. I was that typical Type A - standard bride - who wanted it all. And more. It is hard to put into words how amazing Jaime is. And her team. For those of you who don’t know, Jaime is one of the wedding planners there. I myself work in the event business and so my standards were already so very high, and I at times I felt they were too high. This event (my wedding) had to be perfect. Jaime is a true rockstar. To me, she was my wedding planner, my mentor, guide, mediator, therapist, decorator, inspirer, and most importantly, friend. She was so special to me and treated me as if I was her only focus. Sometimes I would call her throughout the process just to run ideas by her and chat. Her voice was always so calming and sweet. There are few people in my life I have come across that have truly and deeply amazed me and took me by surprise. Jaime is everything just that. She does it all and I mean DOES IT ALL. There is nothing Jaime can’t do for you. She will go above and beyond for all of your needs, wants, and desires, always. I would like to also acknowledge a few other HMI team members: 1. Jaime’s amazing husband, TIM! Tim is an amazing cook and caters ALL of the food for both venues. Till this day, my husband and I still rave about the wedding and rehearsal dinner food. He is a true chef. I loved everything and I mean everything he cooked. 2. Dave was our amazing bartender! He was amazing, truly rocked, and kept everyone happy. Thank you Dave for keeping our party always lively. 3. Laurie held a special place in my heart on my wedding day. Right before my wedding and as I was standing on the inside of the HMI door waiting to walk outside down the beautiful steps of HMI to marry my best friend… It started to thunderstorm. The fear and stress that overcame my face was overwhelming. She took me by the hand and said “It’s okay, God is just welcoming you on your special day. Everything is perfect. It is not going to rain”. Thank you Laurie for making that moment special. I rented out both House Mountain Inn and The Irvine Estate for our wedding. Although I was nervous about the price of both, it was the BEST decision I have ever made. Having both venues provided variety and what I was looking for. I loved both venues SO much and it was so hard to choose one over the other. We have had many guests tell us that was the best wedding they have EVER been to in their lives. That is all thanks to Jaime, her team, and the amazing wedding venues they have. Whether you are looking for a rustic, mountain, indoor, outdoor, etc wedding, House Mountain Inn and the Irvine Estate provide you with a wedding you will never forget. They really know what they are doing there. They gave me the wedding of my dreams and something I will look back on and smile for the rest of my life. Thank you.

Everything about this venue is perfect. From the moment we stepped foot on this property we felt at home and knew this was the place we wanted to get married. Our only problem was choosing between the two venue spaces: House Mountain Inn with it's cozy log cabin vibe or Irvine Estate with it's stunning panoramic views of the mountains. So when we found out that if we got married in the off season, we could have both venues for the price of one, we were thrilled. We rented out the main lodge and the house up at Irvine for most of our close friends and family and had such a great weekend wedding. They let us make the place our own and accommodated all of our requests including an extra screen and projector for us to play Mario Kart and Rockband. I don't know what to rave about more, the location or the staff. The staff will treat you like the king and queen if you have your wedding here. They are so kind and understanding and very personable. By the end of your time, they almost feel like family and you feel like you have to come back! Carrie was my rock and so amazing throughout the wedding process and especially on the wedding day. She had so many great ideas and just made executive decisions without bothering me with problems or minor details. But all of the staff was great and went out of their way to make us and our guests happy. Besides the delicious food, stunning location and personable staff, you also don't have to really lift a finger because almost everything is included. Although it was a little more out of our budget, it was worth EVERY PENNY! So many of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever seen.

WOW! This was the most magical and EASY wedding weekend that we could have ever imagined. Our wedding coordinator, Carrie, took care of everything from the second that we unpacked our car. We booked the venue for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding day (getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception.) The entire staff bends over backwards to ensure that the bridal party and guests have the best time. The staff helped with set up, clean up, and were ready for everything in between. I was so impressed by the flow of the entire weekend and how "at home" I felt at House Mountain Inn. I will be planning our Anniversary Party here for sure!

My Husband and I got married at House Mountain Inn in May 2019. We absolutely loved everything about HMI. We chose to have our ceremony in the garden, reception in the ballroom, and dancing in the pavilion. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner in the pavilion. We rented all 15 rooms on the venue so that our family and wedding party could all stay on site. The entire venue is gorgeous and well maintained. The staff worked their butts off to make sure everything was perfect down to the smallest details. They were so accommodating and easy to work with. My husband and I really liked their food/wine tasting event so that we could try all our options before selecting our final meal. We chose to have a buffet dinner with stations and it worked out so well. The food was hot, delicious, and looked great! The mashed potato bar was a big hit with our guests! We are still getting complements from our guests about HMI! If we had to do it all over again, we would definitely choose HMI!

THANK YOU FOR THE BEST WEEKEND OF OUR LIFE!!! HMI's attention to every detail, unwavering patience, and unparalleled kindness, from wedding planning to implementation was beyond my highest expectations. The views were incredible, the food was delicious, and I did not worry about ONE THING all weekend! We could not have dreamed of a more spectacular place to have our wedding. Thank you to all the people that worked so hard to make sure the bride, groom and guests were happy and enjoyed every second. We will never forget any of it. And can never thank you enough.

House Mountain Inn was the perfect place to get married. We held a welcome dinner (in lieu of rehearsal dinner) down at the Inn and had our ceremony/reception at the Irvine Estate (both part of the property). My now husband and I visited for a night a year prior to check it out, and knew right away it was the place for us. You can see from the pictures that the grounds are stunning, but what was even more important to us, you feel like family when you're there. The staff, from Jamie and Carrie (the coordinators), to the serving and bar staff, to the house keepers, are just impeccable. I felt SO taken care of every time I visited, and most especially during our wedding weekend. It's a family run business, and you can feel it. Leading up to the wedding, either Jamie or Carrie would always promptly respond to my emails and were always willing to set up a phone meeting. They were flexible and always willing to work with you for what you wanted or envisioned. For instance, I wanted a much more casual but larger "Welcome dinner" instead of a rehearsal dinner, and they helped put together a great BBQ-style menu. On the day of, Carrie took care of everything. I gave her a list of what decor I wanted where, and it was executed perfectly. Everyone loved the food, which I don't think is always the case for a wedding! It was essentially a destination wedding for all of our guests, but I think if anyone wondered why we were getting married in Virginia, they instantly understood once they arrived. I had the best of both worlds because booking off season, I had access to both the House Mountain Inn and the Irvine Estate. I'm SO glad I did. You'll have a great experience at either site, but I loved staying at the Inn with all our family while still having access to the Irvine Estate with that stunning view. I could keep going on, but I would choose them again and again, and can't wait to go back to visit.

We got married at Irvine Estate which is kind of the sister venue to HMI, but doesn't have it's own posting. Our wedding was more than I could have imagined and then some, and let me tell you that was not due to my planning! This venue absolutely speaks for itself, it is one of the most beautiful mountain settings you could ever ask for. When I searched for venues, all the top contenders I found were "Oh, that's pretty"...until this one. It was the quaint, tucked away, beautiful venue I had imagined. The second I got out of the car when I went to visit it, I knew this was the place. I met Jamie, who was sweet, informative, and more than patient with my parents millions of questions. Ultimately, Carrie was our wedding co-ordinator though, and I can't say enough about her! She was so low-stress and kind, yet ensured that everything got done on time and we stayed on schedule the day of. I showed up with an assortment of decorations and pretty much just asked her to help me make them look good and she delivered! They also provided a list of vendors, and we were thrilled with everyone who we picked off this list. Coming from out of town, it was super nice that all the vendors already knew the venue and set up. Really and truly, all I had to do the day of was show up and walk down the aisle. In addition to Jamie and Carrie, the rest of the staff were so pleasant and helpful. I cannot say enough about the beauty of this place and how perfect our big day was there! We wished we could just stay and honeymoon there! Will definitely go back on anniversaries! I would recommend this place and the family that owns it a million times over!

HMI was the perfect place for our wedding. The views are sooooo beautiful, the food is DELICIOUS, the rooms are comfortable and well equipped and the staff is so friendly and helpful. However, the number one reason to book at HMI is because Jamie, the venue coordinator, is a miracle worker. She did so much behind the scenes to make the weekend the best one of our lives. She was incredibly patient and smiled through every task. I can’t imagine trying to throw a wedding without a Jamie :) also Dave is an amazing bartender, so there’s that :D

What an amazing venue! We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Irvine Estate at House Mountain Inn. The views are majestic, spectacular, and beautiful. I've only seen it in the fall and summer, but the colors of the mountains and trees look amazing during both seasons. In addition to the venue being drop dead gorgeous, the staff at Irvine Estate was amazing! Carrie was a blessing--she made the planning process and our wedding day super smooth. Even the vendors in town all rant and rave about Jamie and Carrie! The service was very professional and very nice. The bridal suit and groom suit were beautiful as well. Everyone who came to our wedding loved it, especially the views! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect night!

House Mountain Inn made our list of potential venues because it offered similar pricing to other venues we were looking at, but included so much more for that price. It became our dream venue upon our first visit and tour. Words don't do the views justice, nor do online pictures (but look at them anyway). The staff was welcoming, friendly and helpful that first visit, but we were only getting a taste of the abundant hospitality they would show us throughout this process. The clincher, though, was what the inn offered in terms of accommodations. We were able to comfortably sleep THIRTY of our family members and closest friends in just the 10 rooms in the inn itself (we could have had 15 rooms plus a large cabin had we booked sooner!) We loved this idea from the start - bringing together the most important people from different periods of each of our lives together, not just for the ceremony and reception, but for the whole weekend! Food, beverages, snacks, and huge, comfortable rooms were all provided, meaning there was no need to leave the expansive campus either day. This maximized our time with each person who had traveled so far to be there, and allowed us to explore our sunny, green surroundings! Then there's their annual tasting event. Yes, they can cater your rehearsal dinner and reception too, and take it from us - you won't regret choosing to let them! The event includes all couples who have booked the venue for the next year, plus two guests per couple. They lay out every mouth-watering dish they offer for you to wonder around and sample to your hearts content, including a wonderful wine selection. Vendors are set up around the room as well, meaning you get face-to-face interactions with potential djs, bakeries, photographers and more. It's a fun event and really shows you just how capable and experienced the staff are. Our wedding was this past Sunday, the day before memorial day. My Facebook is blowing up, and everyone I've talked to since the reception dinner began has raved about how this was the most fun and most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Folks, very little of that was anything we or our family did. The decorations we brought were minimal, and they helped us every step of the way with planning. The weekend of the event, they were there, prepared for anything, answering every question, fixing every speedbump, and always keeping things flowing smoothly while somehow not pestering, hovering or being overly controlling. The grace, humility, skill level and hospitality of the people here in truly world-class. Oh, and did I mention that when I say "staff", I'm mostly referring to the family that owns the place? Are they off taking crazy vacations or managing other properties while delegating tasks to their employees? Nope! They're reinvesting their revenue and time right back into their craft. They're the secret sauce that makes this venue perfect. They're your wedding planners, your cooks, your serving staff, your bartenders and your day-of crisis managers, all rolled up into a couple of incredibly lovely humans. I could go on for pages, but I can't imagine many even read this far! Here's the bottom line - if this place isn't on your list, add it. If it is on your list, make it a point to visit and take a tour. I'm not saying it's the perfect venue for everyone, but it was definitely ours, and it is more than worth your consideration.

This place is PERFECT for a wedding in the mountains. Since it is an inn, as well, your wedding party doesn't have to go far to get to and from the venue. Jamie and Carrie are amazingly helpful in getting and keeping things organized. You won't have a care in the world, but marrying your wonderful partner. Seriously. Check them out, you won't regret it. I could not have been happier with my weekend!

Carrie was amazing.

Our wedding took place last year (September 2016) and we couldn't be happier with our venue or their staff. The entire staff at House Mountain Inn are so willing to go above and beyond that you can't help but return to celebrate an anniversary or another special occasion (the delicious food and beautiful views don't hurt either). In the days leading up to the wedding and on the actual day of the wedding the staff made sure that everything went smoothly (they catered to the needs of all our outside vendors and even made a second plate of food for my husband and I to eat whenever we pleased) and at the end of the night they carefully packed up all the decorations (from champagne flutes, to chair covers). In my honest opinion it would be difficult to find a venue and staff as accommodating as House Mountain Inn. I look forward to my next visit and saying hello to all the wonderful people that helped make my special day perfect!

This venue is incredible and also affordable!! Jamie is the greatest and she makes you feel at home here. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and the food.....it was beyond delicious thanks to Jamie's incredible husband. I would recommend this place to anyone and not only is it a great venue but also a great place to stay for the night to check out the area.

House Mountain Inn's slogan "Far from the usual. Close to Perfect"is spot on, but I would go so far to say that it is literal perfection. We were married at the Irvine Estate on July 8, 2017, and I cannot say enough great things about the staff, the planning from Jamie Grue, the views, the food, the drinks - just the general good vibes and fun that this venue helps provides. It is casual, yet elegant; it is outdoorsy, yet chic. There is just so much to offer: from an awesome covered outdoor ceremony location to the large, comfortable rooms to stay in on site (with an AMAZING bridal suite), delicious breakfast in the mornings and wine and cheese in the afternoons, a huge porch with an electric fire pit surrounded by rocking chairs. Jamie was great from the get-go; she was responsive, patient, and offered very helpful suggestions, not to mention, a rock star coordinating everything on the day-of our wedding. We had guests telling us how beautiful the wedding and the venue was all night. It was truly our fairytale and we are looking forward to traveling back here for our first anniversary!

I can't say enough about how incredible it was to have our reception at the Irvine Estate at House Mountain Inn. The planning process with Carrie began over a year before our wedding date and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She promptly answered any and all questions we had throughout the planning process and helped us stay within our budget. She helped make sure everything went off without a hitch. Now let me explain one thing. The photos of this place do not do it justice. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. You get an absolutely spectacular view of the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains. There is no place like it. All of our guests kept raving about how beautiful the venue was. Initially they were hesitant to get on a bus and drive 30 minutes, but once they arrived their jaws dropped at the beauty of the place. It's truly one of a kind. Now the food. I don't even know where to begin. Everything that was served was cooked perfectly and tasted incredible. The food was the one aspect of the reception my husband and I wanted to make sure was perfect. House Mountain Inn absolutely delivered. The hors d'oeuvres (chicken satay with peanut sauce, meatballs, spring rolls) were a great start to the cocktail hour. I saw people chasing the servers around because they wanted more! ;) The chicken piccata had to be the star of the night though. EVERYONE LOVED IT. It was perfectly seasoned and prepared. We were incredibly happy with how everything turned out. Overall, it was the perfect location for us. Carrie and Jamie were so helpful in the planning process, which made it easier for us to plan a wedding from out of town. I can't say enough good things about this place. It's one of a kind and I'm so happy we were able to begin our marriage here!

We booked the House Mountain Inn (HMI) for our wedding for several reasons. First of all, it is an absolutely beautiful venue located in the mountains of southwest Virginia. The views are stunning! Best of all, we had exclusive access to the HMI for our entire wedding weekend. Secondly, it has a great rain backup plan. There is a space for outdoor ceremonies, a covered pavilion, and an indoor ballroom all located on the same property. We were hoping to have our ceremony outdoors for our spring wedding but due to rain we moved the ceremony to the outdoor covered pavilion. The rain on the roof of the pavilion during our ceremony added a really peaceful and soothing ambience. As the rain and fog cleared towards the end of the ceremony, the mountains were neatly framed by the pillars of the structure for our guests. It made for great photos! Afterwards, we enjoyed dinner and danced all night in the HMI’s indoor ballroom (which has beautiful new wood floors!). Finally (and most importantly) the HMI comes with an absolutely amazing and helpful wedding planner, Jamie Grue. We worked with Jamie throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was happy to answer all of our questions and was super responsive which made the planning a fun and collaborative experience. Jamie and her wonderful staff ensured that our wedding day played out flawlessly. If we had the ability to give the HMI more than five stars we would. We can say with absolute confidence that anyone who has their wedding at the HMI will have an incredible experience.

I cannot recommend House Mountain Inn enough. This was a great fit for our families--pleasant destination but not *too* far out of the way. We have some members of the family who are quite advanced in years as well as infants and toddlers. Having the whole place to ourselves meant that parents were happy because they could enjoy themselves and put the babies down when needed. Our Elders could sit in comfort and be a part of things. The setting is spectacular and the staff is kind and unceasingly accommodating. I can't think of a thing I'd have them do differently. If you do your wedding there, I recommend ordering deli platters or boxed lunches for your wedding party the day of the wedding. This was something offered to us, with 24 hours advance notice, but we opted against it thinking people could run into town for lunch if they wanted. We simply got too busy and it's just far enough outside of town to make a quick trip difficult. The staff still pulled together some great snacks for us at the last minute, but I think it would have been easier on everyone (staff and guests) if we had taken Jamie up on the suggestion to pre-order lunch fixings. If you're looking for a place that's quiet and personal with great scenery, this is absolutely the place. I'd do it all there again in a heartbeat if we could! We're already trying to figure out how to get back there for an anniversary visit. Thank you again, Jamie!

Everything about House Mountain Inn is incredible...the views, the staff, the accommodations, the food, everything! The most asked question at our wedding is where did you find this place...it's gorgeous!! My favorite thing to talk about with this venue is price! Living in the Charlottesville area, my husband and I had a hard time finding a venue that wouldn't break the bank, but had everything that we wanted. House Mountain Inn was PERFECT!! It has way more than any other venue had to offer and the price was at least half of everywhere else we had looked. So if you are looking for an economical venue with a lot to offer...then House Mountain Inn can be perfect for you too! Also with this venue you are able to have the ceremony, reception, catering, bar, and accommodations for 20-30 people all in one place! This was perfect for us because it allowed us to have all of our family and bridal party stay at one place and then the rest of the guests had the option of getting a hotel room about 10-15 minutes away. There is also a cabin that sleeps 15 people and was the perfect place for us to have a bbq for our rehearsal dinner! Jamie and Carrie are the 2 ladies that will take your vision and make it a reality. They basically do everything for you so you don't have to worry about a thing on your wedding day! They food is beyond amazing and I had several of my guest tell me how good all the food was...from the cocktail hour treats to the main buffet. After everything was over...Jamie and her staff cleaned up everything and made sure all my decorations were packed up neatly so I could just put them in the car and go on about our day. I could not have asked for a more perfect place to have our big day!!

We are so happy that we chose House Mountain Inn for our wedding ceremony and reception. Having everything at one location allowed us to provide a "weekend getaway" for our entire bridal party. The location is absolutely gorgeous! The staff was wonderful and so accommodating. Three back-to-back storms came through just in time for our ceremony (lucky us!) but the staff was flexible in having our guests change locations to our back-up plan (the Pavilion). When the sun came back out, they, along with the wonderful guys in our bridal party and some guests, dried the chairs (for a second time!) so we could have the outside ceremony we had envisioned. The food was delicious - everyone young and older commented on how great it was! One suggestion I would make is for the staff to prepare a plate of the Cocktail Hour foods for the bride and groom . . . We missed that due to the rain delay and pictures. The breakfast buffet each morning was great as well. We cannot say enough nice things about Jamie and her staff. We would definitely recommend House Mountain Inn to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful wedding venue. While it cost a little more than we would have liked to have paid, having the entire inn to ourselves (along with all of our bridesmaids and groomsmen) for the weekend was incredible. We would love to take an anniversary trip there each year!

I can't say enough about this venue and their staff! Everything was better than I could have ever imagined and the staff was phenomenal! Carrie (our planner) took care of every detail of the day! She and the rest of the House Mountain Inn staff were always so friendly and helpful. They were available to answer any/all questions we had and were so quick to respond to emails! Everything the day of our wedding went so smoothly! I could not have asked for more. The food was terrific! The location was beautiful! The staff was great! I still have guests coming to me saying how "perfect" our wedding was and --that there isn't a venue around that could top it! I couldn't agree more! I would highly recommend this special location to anyone looking for an extraordinary location and exceptional staff! So grateful for Carrie and the rest of the House Mountain Inn staff for making our special day absolutely wonderful!

I had gone to various wineries/farms to see about having our wedding there, but when I got to House Mountain I just felt at home. The staff is excellent and so professional. Everything went so smoothly. And it's so much fun to have your family and friends be able to stay at the house for the entire weekend. I highly recommend this venue.
