A place to experience the uniqueness that life has to offer, making memories that last a lifetime and beyond.
Blue Ridge Mountain Wedding Venue
A cherished community cornerstone, now reimagined as a Tuscan retreat: a lasting legacy.
Once the heart of the community, Pleasant Vista began as an elementary school—where generations came together to learn, grow, and celebrate milestones. Today, that same spirit of connection lives on as we transform this cherished space into a premier Blue Ridge Mountain wedding venue for gatherings of all kinds. From weddings and retreats to special celebrations, we honor its legacy by continuing to bring people together, creating new memories, and ensuring it remains a place where community, joy, and tradition thrive.

Our Story
Here, we cherish the past while creating new traditions for the future. We never imagined turning an elementary school into a destination, but life has a way of leading us to unexpected and beautiful places.
We are Ron and Jenna Fisher. Jenna grew up just over a mile from the school on her family’s farm, and this very school holds deep roots in her family—she, her father, and many relatives once walked its halls. Ron, originally from Iowa, moved to this area over 27 years ago and quickly fell in love with the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the warmth of the Amherst County community.
For over 25 years, we have dedicated our careers as healthcare professionals to caring for others, driven by a deep passion for service, relationships, and the power of human connection. We believe that the best experiences—whether in healthcare, hospitality, or everyday life—come from a genuine commitment to people. Our love for family and fellowship has shaped every aspect of Pleasant Vista, where we aim to create a space where guests feel truly welcomed, valued, and cared for.
Our passion for unique experiences led us to take a leap of faith when the opportunity arose to purchase the closed school. For Jenna, it was a place of lifelong memories and community gatherings. For both of us, it was a chance to breathe new life into a space that had always been full of energy and connection. Then, an unforgettable journey to Italy inspired us to blend its rich culture and timeless beauty into our vision—creating a place where guests can slow down, savor life’s special moments, and make lasting memories.
As the Italians say, "piano, piano" — slowly, ever so slowly, little by little, with joy.
Extraordinary experiences are built on strong relationships and heartfelt service.
We have assembled a team of dedicated professionals with expertise in event planning, hospitality, catering, and venue management. Together, we are committed to providing a seamless, warm, and unforgettable experience—one that brings people together, strengthens connections, and creates moments that last a lifetime.
