FAQs

What will we do this weekend?

Kanuga is all about refreshing your soul ​in a way that resonates with you. As a ​group and individuals we will have the ​opportunity to explore the 1400 acres ​through hiking, mountain biking & forest ​bathing. There are many porches where ​you can grab a rocking chair and take in ​the surroundings along with a good ​book.

What should I wear?

Throughout the weekend you should ​be comfortable in your wardrobe. The ​weather could range between 40F and ​70F. Expect cool nights and pleasant ​days which could always include April ​showers. The wedding ceremony will ​include a walk around the lake so ​keep that in mind with your footwear. ​Ryan will not be wearing a tie on ​Sunday so feel free to do what feels ​right to you.

What will we eat?

We will eat most of our meals ​in the dining hall at a few ​communal tables. Meals are ​served buffet style and ​always include vegetarian ​options.

Breakfast - 8am

Lunch - 12pm

Dinner - 6pm

What kind of stuff can I

find @ Kanuga?

Kanuga has a library, gym & bookstore ​with local goods and refreshments. ​There is a bog adjacent to the lake ​known as an Appalachian Mountain Bog. ​It is home to many plant and animal ​species that live in few other places. ​Pictured above is the Mountain Sweet ​Pitcher Plant found almost exclusively at ​Kanuga.

Where can I get coffee?

There is always coffee available during ​meal times. Between these times you ​can find urns in the lobby and a ​machine on the 1st floor of the inn. ​Each cabin has a small coffee maker if ​you would like to bring your own. ​Looking for a dirty chai latte? Head to ​the Flat Rock Village Bakery. It is our fav ​for awesome coffee and delicious ​pastries.

Where can I buy tchotchkes?

Besides the Kanuga gift shop you can ​venture into Hendersonville, Flat ​Rock or Brevard. These are all great ​towns full of local goods. One of our ​particular loves is The Wrinkled Egg ​in Flat Rock which is attached to the ​previously mentioned coffee shop.
