Avon Hill Lodge and Bruce's Barn
Refined Rustic Beauty
Avon Hill invites twists of rural seclusion and luxury while remaining laid back and filled with modern conveniences. The central Virginia wedding and vacation destination offers beautiful outdoor ceremony locations, a stunning modern events barn and lodging for up to 43 guests.
Choose from ceremony sites that include panoramic views of the mountains, boxwoods gardens or the estate's beloved soaring black walnut tree. Elaborate and elegant receptions unfold inside Bruce’s Barn, a refinished and refined two-story structure built for weddings. The century-old barn shines with modern amenities while preserving its original rustic charm. Flow out onto an expansive 1,100-square-foot wrap around deck, gather for a seated dinner on the 2,300-square-foot main floor and connect with guests in the lofts among comfy lounge seating and bistro lighting.
Avon Hill offers four rentable buildings: The Lodge, Overlook and Blue Ridge Suite are situated right next to each other, while the pool and pool house are a quick five-minute walk through the trees. Enjoy access to the property for engagement photos prior to the wedding and relax in private and separate wedding preparation suites the day of.
