Graduation Deserves More Than Separate Hotel Rooms

Graduation is one of the biggest moments in a student’s life. Parents, grandparents, siblings, relatives, and close friends often travel from several different places to attend.

Instead of splitting everyone between several hotel rooms, Mars Hill Haven gives your group one comfortable place to celebrate together. Prepare a family meal, share photos from commencement, enjoy the mountain views, relax in the hot tub, or spend the evening playing games.

The cabin is approximately 25 minutes from the university, so it is best suited for families who value space, privacy, scenery, and time together more than being directly beside campus.

Plan Ahead for Graduation
