An Asheville classic! If you haven't seen the beauty of the Biltmore Estate and gardens, it is a MUST do. Buy tickets ahead of time for a mansion tour and you are free to roam the grounds for the rest of the day. Dining, archery, horseback riding, spa, art exhibits etc. all at your disposal on this majestic estate.

Directly outside the gates of the Biltmore Estate sits the quaint Biltmore Village. There are cute shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Perfect for an afternoon jaunt if you don't want to go into the estate but you want the vibes.

This is Sarah's favorite road in the whole country! Hit the Blue Ridge Parkway in either direction and you'll sure to be delighted. Graveyard Fields is a favorite hike about 45 minutes south on the Parkway from Charlotte Highway/240.

More than 250 local artists have working studios in this area! A great place to spend the afternoon perusing and exploring. There's also a funky, privately-owned movie house and a lovely walking path along the French Broad River.

Asheville's premier Japanese spa and retreat. Check out this amazing mountaintop oasis where you can book private outdoor hot tubs and massage. Stick to just a 1- or 2-hour soak OR spend half a day and splurge on a package to get it all! A great way to kick off or end your stay! Only 10 minutes from downtown AVL.

For guests of the hotel, if you stay here...you DEFINITELY want to book yourself a spa appointment!

Feeling super adventurous!? This zipline course is one of the highest and fastest in the country and those views are AMAZING! We did this for Ryan's 46th Birthday...exhilarating!! and SO FUN!
