In Western North Carolina you’ll find an eclectic group of people
from movie stars to mountain folk. And our town is as diverse as its
residents. Our area is the back drop to many movies over the years…
our favorite is The Last of the Mohicans staring Daniel Day-Lewis
with the famous waterfall scenes filmed at our local Chimney Rock.

What we love about these Appalachian Mountains is its wealth of
activities. We experience a gentle four seasons here that makes any
time of year perfect for a visit. If you love to shop for the
unusual, there are fantastic antique stores, numerous galleries,
unique boutique shops, and amazing handcrafted goods. This region is
host to numerous festivals filled with music, dance, arts and crafts.
There are family events, live theater, concerts, cinemas and museums.

For golfers, there are numerous courses including Jack Nicholas’
newly designed world class championship golf course, The
Cliffs.There’s skiing, hiking, white water rafting, miniature golf,
fishing, wildlife viewing, rock climbing, you name it! Check out the
new Fun Depot for a wealth of indoor fun. When George Vanderbilt had
all the world to select a site for his home in the 1890’s, he choose
Asheville to built his 250 room French Chateau. Famous for being the
largest private residence in the United States, you can spend a full
day wandering through the mansion, its grounds, greenhouses, winery,
restaurants and shops. Just outside the gates of the Biltmore House
is Biltmore Village. These quaint buildings and streets have
enchanting shops and restaurants to delight you. Our favorite is The
New Morning Gallery/Bellagio, the largest handcrafted gallery in the
Eastern United States.

Other famous places to explore include the Grove Park Inn with it’s
new world renowned underground spa, the famous poet Carl Sandburg’s
home, Thomas Wolfe’s home, the North Carolina Arboretum, Chimney
Rock Park, Lake Lure, Grandfather Mountain, The Cove - Billy Graham’s
headquarters, The Nature Center, and much, much more.

Sightseeing along the Blue Ridge Parkway is outstanding with many
hiking trails and waterfalls along the way. In one direction you’ll
find Mount Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi, and
in the other Mount Pisgah. Both areas offer a delightful restaurant
with extreme views! And between stops, you can shop for amazing local
hand crafted goods at the Folk Art Center and learn about our
mountain heritage. There are nature walks and hiking almost
everywhere you go including the Mountain-To-Sea Trail.

These ancient Appalachian Mountains is home to mountain music and
dancing. Several times a week you can test your dancing shoes at
Contra Dancing with live upbeat Celtic music. Arrive half an hour
early and someone will teach you the easy steps. Just pick up the
local Mountain Express free weekly paper which lists 100’s of events
happening every week. Or look at the Citizen Times Friday issue of
Take Five for their listing of what’s happening.

Nearby, Black Mountain and Lake Lure are quaint towns full of unique
shops, or you can visit Hot Springs and sit in the outdoor spas
filled with the hot underground water. This is the first town stop
for hikers who begin hiking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia. It’s
fun to learn their trail names and hear about their adventures. You
can make a day trip to Lake Fontana (where they filmed the movie Nell
with Jody Foster) and visit the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest of
astoundingly huge ancient old growth trees. Or take a trip over to
Cherokee and play at Harrah’s Casino.
