Winter Wood Farm was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was quick, helpful, kind, informative, and welcoming. They went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect, providing complimentary decor, chairs, tables, and linens for our tables. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and offered an amazing view at a very reasonable price. Winter Wood helped make our day the most perfect it could be! They were attentive to our needs and were open to all of the ideas we had for our day.

Original wood beams and early American antiques welcome guests to experience life a little simpler. Surrounded by 60-acres of vineyards, a 2-acre fishing pond, and a walking trail winding alongside the Grassy Creek, days can be filled with discovering what the Appalachian nature has to offer, or cozied up with a book or game of chess next to a roaring fire in the original 1920’s hearths.

Communication with Danna was incredible from start to finish. She always responded quickly, answered all of our questions, and was so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is stunning—the wooded area with the lake backdrop was the perfect setting for our ceremony. One of the things that made our experience extra special was having our wedding party stay in the cabins for the entire weekend. Everything was set up and ready for our guests, and we were able to use all the kitchenware and amenities, which made hosting so easy. Having access to the entire property truly set Klondike Cabins apart, especially since so many venues don’t offer that—let alone at such a great price. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to celebrate at Klondike Cabins. The beauty of the grounds combined with the time spent surrounded by our closest friends and family made it all unforgettable.
