Today, we’re sharing the best Asheville Elopement Airbnb and Cabin Rentals to hold your ceremony.
Wedding elopements are known for being intimate, low-key celebrations held in open nature spaces.
But what if you want to ensure privacy? Or how about wanting a natural landscape as the backdrop but without having to hike?
You can get all of that and more when you rent a cabin or house situated in nature to hold your ceremony!
You get to immerse yourself in the environment for longer, easily get ready on-site, and eliminate day-of travel.
It’s eloping – made even easier!
Curious?
Check out the best Asheville Airbnb and cabin rentals for elopements that we’ve photographed and helped plan in the Asheville area!
This stellar mountaintop cabin with epic views of local mountain ranges accommodates 8 guests and is right off I-40 and close to Asheville. Located at the end of a private road, it’s the perfect hideaway for your elopement.
Jenny & Freddie kicked off their elopement by walking into their ceremony holding hands and getting a great response from their small but resounding crowd.
When you hear their engagement story, you might want to clap too!
The couple planned their engagement together, both picking out vintage rings and planning a special day at their favorite place in Atlanta, the Historic Oakland Cemetery. Sitting next to a gravestone marked “Love” they shared the reasons they wished to spend their lives together, exchanging rings after Freddie recited a heartfelt poem by Pablo Neruda.
Afterward, they shared a picnic on a special hand-sewn quilt (a gift from Jenny to Freddie several years ago), and went on a 9-mile urban hike through Atlanta, reliving their first and favorite moments together.
You may wonder how they topped that? But top it they did!
Their elopement – which was originally supposed to be held at Max Patch – was held at the most epic mountaintop home! It was a day full of laughter and fun, and real, genuine and silly moments that reflected who they are and the relationship they have built.
Seriously, these two look like they could have fun anywhere, including this dreamy cabin!
The ceremony, officiated by Julia, took place on the lawn with mountain ridges in all directions.
After the ceremony, the couple walked around the property, relaxed on the porch, gallivanted through tall grasses (in some wild wind!), and enjoyed marble cake with cream cheese and ganache filling!
What a time to be alive!
Mackenzie and Jay were married on a sunny May day in front of family and friends.
Mackenzie’s dad walked her into the ceremony where the couple shared vows and exchanged rings amongst 10 special guests, with plenty of room for everyone to look on.
Following the ceremony, the couple were treated to toasts from their guests on the wrap-around porch and also had brunch.
Watch the video below to get a feel for the property and their awesome day!
This hand-crafted sawn log home is on a secluded mountain and is only 30 minutes from Asheville.
The partially covered breezeway can serve as a covered backup space for your ceremony if you experience inclement weather.
All of our couples have so far chosen to hold their ceremony on the giant lawn, looking out in awe at the mountain view.
The outdoor fire pit is another awesome feature and the exterior of the cabin home is begging for a photoshoot!
Officiant: Jay
Photographer: Amy
Together: 1.5 years, met in graduate school
Proposal: At their favorite park they hike on the weekend’s
Grace and Tahan chose this cabin location because the mountain landscape reminded Tahan of where he went to college in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, as well as his hometown in India.
Grace loves the gentleness of the mountains and how they put everything into perspective.
The couple prioritized making the day easy and loved the idea that no traveling would be required after waking up in this gorgeous rental on the day-of.
After sharing their first look in front of the historic cabin, the two walked hand in hand into their ceremony led by officiant Jay.
Grace and Tahan incorporated hand-washing into their ceremony and later the pair enjoyed lavender white cake and champagne to end the festivities!
Watch their full elopement film to see it all in action.
Julia and Hunter consider themselves outdoorsy but also “homebodies,” so naturally they chose a cabin home to get comfortable in for their elopement!
They wanted their destination elopement to be a fun, beautiful trip to Asheville which was on their shortlist of places to visit!
They had their First Look and Ceremony at the cabin, followed by popping champagne! They finished the festivities with cutting their deep dark chocolate cake with caramel buttercream filling!
Making time for a second destination, the couple went to Max Patch post-ceremony to wander and take in the sunset. This new backdrop of tall grass and endless sky really made for variety in their photography.
Now that they got to check visiting Asheville AND marrying off their bucket list, they fulfilled their third elopement goal of sharing their absolutely gorgeous photos with friends and family afterwards!
SURPRISE! – After the challenges of 2020, Jennifer wanted to surprise her husband Cory with something special! So she organized this amazing cabin and ceremony experience!
Cory was aware that there was a renewal of vows, but had no idea about the details or the location. Jennifer arrived at the cabin early to get ready with her son, and then her husband arrived at the time of the ceremony.
Lana and Roby were married on a winter day as they blended their families together.
In Lana’s words “I have 2 kids and Roby has 2 boys. Our children are our world so it’s important to have them as a part of our day. ”
Lana’s family owns a dirt bike company, so of course, they brought bikes along for the big day!
Lana said “We love anything in the dirt and together. On our first Valentine’s Day he brought me to a dirt bike park my grandpa had built and it was the sweetest thing ever.”
Lots of love, laughter, and dirt bikes made this elopement one for the books!
Watch their elopement video below to catch the vibe!
Hot tub? Check. Pool table? Check. Fire pit? Check.
Not sure what this spacious log home on 3 acres doesn’t have! It’s incredible.
Imagine marrying high atop the mountainside with long-range views of the Great Smoky Mountains! Then soaking in an indoor jacuzzi indoors overlooking the view, or outside in the large hot tub to watch the sun set!
From the high wood-beamed ceilings to the floor to ceiling rock fireplace, it is the perfect mountain retreat.
This is the last cabin up the mountain so you only hear natural sound like the wind rustling through the trees, making it a super romantic elopement spot!
Nikki and Robby held a vow renewal on a beautiful October day with the leaves bursting with autumn color.
Michael officiated their wedding on the balcony with just the two of them surrounded by the Smoky Mountains.
The leaves and mountains were truly in rare form this day, and this location made it easy and accessible to take it all in with the least amount of stress and running around possible.
Nikki and Robby look so great against the leaves and just so clearly in love.
With mountain views off of an expansive deck, this Lake-house is a stunning place to elope!
Situated on over 3 private acres, the home features an open living area that flows onto the large deck overlooking the lake and mountains. No motorized boats are allowed on the lake making this a quiet space for vows to be spoken (and heard!).
Christine knew she was going to marry Brittany the day she met her in January. In April, Christine purchased the ring, just waiting for the right moment to ask her. In May, the couple visited the Canadian side of Niagara Falls where Christine proposed to Brittany in a gondola (ferris wheel), overlooking the falls.
Brittany really wanted to give Christine the mountain wedding she always wanted:; free of stress and crowds, with just the two of them (almost) and nature. Ultimately, they were guided to the venue because of the stunning, peaceful views that surrounded the two as they each married their best friend.
Brittany and Christine started their April 1st elopement day off with a First Look on the balcony with breathtakingly views of the water below.
Brittany was escorted by her mom and step-dad into their sweet ceremony which was officiated by Michael.
Afterwards, the couple enjoyed their cake cutting indoors (they chose raspberry almond cake, yum) and did some “cheers-ing” with their champagne glasses. Cute side note: “Cheers-ing” is a common term used amongst Brittany’s mother and step-father and subsequently done by the pair even on a daily basis.
The pair soaked in the beauty of the home, wandering around the woods and dancing dockside!
A cool touch that the couple included was decorating a paddle boat down by the lake.
Watch their elopement film below to see their day unfold!
When getting a cabin or AirBnB, one of the great options is to hire a private chef to cook dinner for you and your guests afterwards.
Many of our couples have hired Chef Katie Fiore to cook healthy, delicious meals with Fioreously Delicious.
One of our couples, Bri and Matt hired Food, Fire, and Knives to cook their post-ceremony meal.
Check out the beautifully prepared dishes he made them, below!
Here’s what Bri and Matt had to say about their experience with Food, Fire, and Knives:
“Chef Graham was phenomenal and has cooked for many elopements before. We really can’t recommend him enough!’
