Parks & Nature
If you've never been on the parkway then I strongly suggest that you grab a coffee or tea and take an afternoon drive to Mt. Mitchell or Graveyard Fields and take a walk from one of these parking lots to see the view. They are both beautiful wonders of nature in the area. The Visitor Center is a good stop & The Folk Art Center is full of Appalachian crafts and gifts.

Dirty Dancing was filmed on this lake & it has a fun public beach. Plan to leave early on a sunny day to make that happen though.

After passing through Black Mountain & a stone gate you enter Montreat, a small town that is home to hiking trails, vacation homes, & Robert Lake Park. You can rent paddle boats on Lake Susan, walk around the small lake & look through the shops. If you like to scale things down from the Asheville scene, this is a great spot to head to for some activity & maybe a Black Mountain meal.

Sightseeing
It is worth making this in town trip to sit on the deck, have a glass of wine or appetizer and take in the view. They have piano music in the bar at night too. If you get a chance book a massage or other service at the Spa and you get to stay there for the whole day to enjoy the salt pools, eucalyptus steam room, & outdoor hot tub with a view. Not kid friendly though.

It took me years to make it to the Biltmore House because I thought it was too touristy but as soon as I went I bought a year pass for our family so that we could keep going. The drive in is amazing, a tour of the house is well worth it, and time on the lawn in Antler Village listening to live music after dinner is so relaxing. There are also bike trails & a bike rental facility. You may even see some folks playing with a hawk or two, an event available through the Biltmore.
