We got married at Bonanza King Resort in May 2023 and it was better than we ever could have imagined. If you are considering hosting an event here, the space speaks for itself, but what truly makes it special is the Johnson family. Owners Kevin & Janelle Johnson genuinely love bringing people together, and they work tirelessly to keep the cabins & grounds in top shape.
Communication with them was seamless. They accommodated every request we had and they went so far above & beyond to make our event special. We have countless examples of their thoughtfulness and effort. Below are just a few:
when we expressed that our desire to rent circular dining tables was too costly, they took money out of their own pocket to pay for and transport tables simply because they knew it would make us happy though we would have been perfectly happy with normal chairs at the ceremony space, they built benches from milled lumber because it matched our aesthetic better they flew their daughter, Lauryn, in from out-of-state to work the wedding — again, at no cost to us they picked up personal supplies from Costco (a 1.5 hour drive from the venue) to help lighten my load they let my catering Chef use their own personal kitchen when he realized his sheet pans didn’t fit in the cabin ovens when we realized it wasn't in our budget to rent a party tent, they purchased one of their own just in case we needed it
In terms of the space itself, the bridal suite was adorable and equipped with thoughtful touches. The grounds were rustic yet polished. The cabins were cozy and spotlessly clean. The ceremony space was beautifully manicured and the reception area was charming. There were plenty of places for guests to tuck away and explore.
I cannot recommend Bonanza King Resort enough. Hosting our event here positively changed the course of our lives. Thank you,...

The kids can safely wander around the grounds with games, ping pong, fishing, swimming, and a beautiful teepee to inspire and honor the native culture. We stayed in Ramshorn and it was adorable. Had everything we needed, all we had to bring was food and games. Adults can laze around on the hammocks, or set your chair in the creek and just relax. Great white water rafting not to far away and the big city of Weaverville just about a 1/2 hour down the road. But once you're there, there really is no reason to leave. Brian and Mary are the best hosts. Can't...
Read moreI can’t speak highly enough of Bonanza King and the family behind this beautiful venue. I’m getting married here in September and have had the opportunity to stay at the grounds and work closely with the owners planning for the big day. There is so much attention and care put into the property, from spotless cabins with all of the amenities you could dream of, to beautiful outdoor areas with activities for everyone and tons of communal spaces for groups to socialize. The cherry on top for me, though, is the kindness of the owners. It’s so clear they love what they do and really want to go above and beyond for their guests. Just GOOD people. I absolutely can’t wait to go back before the big day and I plan on returning often, it’s just such a...
