Botanical Gardens adjacent to the University. It's a lovely stroll and the species are well-marked. There is a great website that highlights certain plant species and lists what's in bloom before you get there. The walk through the gardens is easy and interesting, and a gorgeous creek runs throughout. It's a nice way to stretch your legs.

Pot Pie Shop
202 Stone Ridge BlvdLots of locally made pot pies, perfect to bring back to the house to cook.
It's official. I go here every time I am in the area. The sushi is fantastic and creative, but the Japanese style noodle and rice dishes are divine as well. My favorite? The ginger tea. Whole big slices of ginger, bright red goji berries and a swirl of honey. Yum!

This general store is a must-stop on the way to Hot Springs. Great coffee, creative ice creams. Local products! And we love the owner! (Not to mention one of the best local hikes to the river starts/ends here!)

Just the drive alone is worth it. It's a scenic ride through gorgeous hollows to arrive at an adorable general store that has tons of charms, local crafts and good food. There is a pamphlet tucked inside the house manual to look through.

Trail Rides through a large property across the French Broad from the Gatehouse. There are different length rides on fun horses, and many of the longer rides stop at the property's garnet mine (my favorite part) where you can find garnets sparkling everywhere --and keep what you find!

Sightseeing
What Hot Springs is named for... this is the place to go in town to relax and rewind in every season! The tubs have spring water pumped right in, pure, no chemicals. Each tub is private with a view of the grounds. It's amazingly relaxing.

The whole experience is incredible. It is well-worth seeing, at least once in a lifetime. The house itself is full of history, stories and secrets (definitely get the audio tour!). The the grounds are expansive acres of park-like forests, farms, vineyards, rivers, ponds and streams. Amazing!

Plenty of spots to jump onto the Parkway, head north or south of Asheville. In the best or worst of weather, there are some spectacular views, stone tunnels, and several interesting historical spots and museums along the way. Doesn't cost a thing to enjoy this beautiful National Park.

The Gatehouse is a great jumping off point to the AT because the town of Hot Springs is just up the road! There are shuttles from the trail, or just park in town and make your way for a classic day hike up Lover's Leap.
