Review:
Offering beautiful mountain scenery, delicious local food, and a vibrant artist community, Asheville is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. From walking tours and shopping to art galleries and theater, this unique town offers a diverse choice of activities.
Visit the beautiful Biltmore Estate, the WNC Nature Center and the Thomas Wolfe Memorial on your weekend trip. Drive along the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway and soak up the spectacular natural beauty, or head to the river for some water-based fun such as rafting, tubing, canoeing and kayaking.
Where to Stay: Stay in one of the spacious suites with upscale amenities at The Residences at Biltmore.
Where to Eat: The Kid’s Menu at Stone Ridge Tavern includes mini hamburgers, grilled cheese and pasta dishes.
Don’t Miss: Biltmore Estate is a playground for the whole family – pet baby animals at the estate’s farmyard, go on a Segway tour around the grounds, or take part in a variety of hands-on experiences at Antler Hill Village.
