The Holston River Lodge

For couples dreaming of an intimate wedding set against breathtaking mountain scenery, Holston River Lodge offers something truly rare — a setting that needs no decoration because nature has already done the work. Nestled along a stunning stretch of the South Holston River, the Lodge sits on over two acres with more than 1,250 feet of riverfrontage. The hand-hewn logs, local stone, and thoughtful craftsmanship create a warmth and character that no ballroom can replicate. This is a place that feels special before a single flower is arranged. The Lodge is perfectly suited for intimate celebrations of up to 45 guests, with on-site lodging accommodations for up to 8. The property is yours exclusively for the duration of your stay — the grounds, the river, the fireplaces, all of it. We provide the venue and lodging; you bring the vision. No packages, no outside vendors imposed on you — just the freedom to celebrate exactly the way you've always imagined. ***See below reviews from some of the previous weddings we have hosted :) "From the moment we reached out to The Holston River Lodge, the owners, Matt and Jess, were incredibly professional, respectful, and understanding throughout the entire planning process.
