for Retreats, Private Getaways, Weddings, and more
Ancient stone walls, the ruins of an old farmhouse, and a reconstructed gristmill are a few of the historic sites that make up Laughing Waters.
This private, magical retreat center is just 25 minutes from Asheville, NC, nestled in the Hickory Nut Gorge, beside a tumbling creek with many waterfalls.
The bright, spacious four bedroom lodge, and the cheerful cottage can be rented together or separately.
Visitors have access to miles of award-winning hiking trails. Being here feels like going back in time.
Laughing Waters is part of the Hickory Nut Forest Eco Community, which strives to be environmentally friendly stewards of the forest and its inhabitants.
Laughing Waters is a family run, community- oriented business that partners with and supports local nonprofits that are working toward a more sustainable future.
It welcomes groups and events that value living in harmony with the land.
Come together for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the world at Laughing Waters.
It is the perfect place for your wedding, family reunion, personal retreat, corporate meeting, holistic workshop, romantic photoshoot, or any number of memorable experiences.
The abundance of pristine and private spots along the creek, in the orchard or forest, or near the old chimneys and gristmill provide excellent photo opportunities for your graduation, family reunion, engagement, or any of life's milestones you'd like to save and remember forever.
