River Mountain is more than just an overnight, it is a total experience and your journey!
Acknowledgement
Warrior Path
Running parallel to River Mountain's eastern ridge is Warriors Path, a major travel and trading route from Six Nations country, New York, to the Catawba country in the Carolinas. The historic path along Sweet Root Creek was one of the longest and most heavily traveled land routes in eastern North America, connecting Indigenous peoples over hundreds of miles.
The Underground Railroad
Black Valley was an active route along the Underground Railroad. Local histories principally credit four residents with leading the aid network in this area: Rev. John Fidler, Elias Rouse, Joseph Crawley, and James Graham. Just to the south of the River Mountain property are 13 unmarked graves of formerly enslaved peoples who died traveling the route to freedom.

The Main Lodge is our central point for living well - sunlight soaked guest rooms, panoramic yoga studio, guest kitchenette, conference meeting room, and lobby lounge area.

Our restored mid 19th-century Mennonite barn is the ideal gathering space. From morning yoga, evening ping-pong, and company events, "Big Red" is the perfect combination of hand-crafted beauty in an updated space.

Historic Log Cabin
The restored 1807 historic log cabin serves as our dining hall and breakfast area. The hand-hewn timber, the handcrafted community tables, the crackle of the old fireplace - this is a place to settle in for the evening.
