Wonderlust Acres A bucolic mountain destination complemented by inspiring and functional venues that are intentionally

08/30/2026

A few quiet mornings. Mountain air. Nowhere you have to be. Time outside, slow evenings, and the kind of rest that actually feels like rest.

Sometimes you don’t need a packed itinerary—you just need a few days at Wonderlust Acres.

Come take a break with us. 🤎

When Wonderlust was still just an idea, it was never really about building a property and seeing what kind of return it could make... It was about tending to something.

Creating a place where people could step away from everyday life, gather in smaller groups, have conversations that matter, find community, and leave feeling a little more connected than when they arrived.

Benjamin describes Wonderlust as his own little Garden of Eden... a place he gets to tend to, pour his heart into, and continually make more beautiful for other people to enjoy.

That was the dream then, and getting to watch it become that place now is pretty special. 🌲

Sometimes the best thing you can do is trade the noise for a few days in the mountains and remember how good it feels to slow down.

Consider this your sign to book the weekend. 🤎

DM us to start planning your stay, retreat, or gathering at Wonderlust Acres.

Just a few days tucked away in the mountains with your favorite people.

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? 🤎

There’s something extra special about hearing Wonderlust described through the eyes of the people who have actually gathered here. 🤍

Because that’s what we hope this place becomes for every group that comes through the gate—a place you leave already talking about when you can come back.

Weddings, retreats, church groups, family gatherings, private dinners, weekends away… there are so many ways to make Wonderlust yours for a little while.
And we’d love to have you.

🌲 Have something in mind? Send us a DM and let’s talk about bringing your people to Wonderlust Acres.

Turns out my dopamine menu is pretty simple: mountain air, coffee outside, creek walks, campfires, dirt roads, a little sunshine, nowhere to rush off to, and people I love nearby. 🌲

No prescription necessary. Just a weekend at Wonderlust.

Maybe the kind of therapy we need sometimes looks a little more like this…

Consider this your prescription for a weekend in the mountains. 🌲🤍

Wonderlust Acres was made for slowing down, gathering well, and getting back to the things that matter.

Send this to someone who could use a little “mountain therapy.”

Kinda chic to say “I do” somewhere that looks like this. 🤍

Our new hardscape ceremony space is coming together, and we can already picture it—your people gathered, the mountains in the background, and the start of forever right here.

Now booking weddings at Wonderlust Acres. 💍🌿

In a world that constantly tells us to do more, go faster, and stay busy…

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is sit with the view.

Take a deep breath.
Listen to the creek.
Watch the trees sway.
Let yourself be still for a moment.

Because the best memories aren’t always made in the rush—they’re made in the quiet. 🤍

If you’re craving a place to slow down, Wonderlust Acres is waiting for you.

A place where the to-do list gets quieter.
Where mornings start with coffee on the porch instead of notifications.
Where evenings end around a fire instead of another meeting.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a retreat, a wedding weekend, or just need a break from the pace of everyday life, we hope you leave feeling the same way.

Come experience Wonderlust the way it was meant to be experienced. 🤍
