Just a few steps away! The Appalachian Hotel is right next door to the Red Tail Lodge reception venue. If you're staying in the townhouses, you can take a short (2 minute shuttle) to the ceremony and reception location (It's walking distance, but you'll probably get sweaty).
The gondola takes about 6 minutes to get to the top of the mountain and it will drop you off right in the ceremony area. Each gondola bucket can hold up to 6 people at a time and will be running continuously from 4:45-5:15 . There are no seats in the bucket, but there will be chairs available if you would rather sit on the way up! It is a beautiful ride with some pretty great views :)

If there is bad weather, then the ceremony will be in the same place as the reception - the Red Tail Lodge. Good news is that it's a shorter route to the dance floor :)
