Asheville is one of our absolute favorite towns to visit in North Carolina. It is the ultimate eclectic town to explore this spring.

Hendersonville, NC
What a lovely town! Just recently visited the up and coming mountain town just 30 minutes from Asheville, and I have to say Im pleasantly surprised. The brewery scene is amazing lead by none other than national brewing powerhouse Sierra Nevada. Then there’s The Riveter a huge indoor climbing gym and covered/outdoor mountain bike circuit. Then the winery scene! Some absolutely amazing wineries have opened there. Stone Ashe and Marked Tree were two that really stood out. And the downtown…just wow. Wide streets, great shops, cute art, and delicious restaurants. Consider this place for your next visit. You will be very pleased.
