The lower Douglas Falls in Barnardsville are probably the closest waterfalls to the house. The hike is pretty gentle, but the terrain can be a little rough.

Located off the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Graveyard Fields trail is a nice, easy hike, with easily accessible waterfalls and swimming holes. In the late summer, you can also pick TONS of wild blueberries.

Food scene
Some of the best Latin food EVER and probably one of best/if not THE BEST restaurant in town. Be sure to make a reservation before your trip! Hot Tip: There's a wonderful craft cocktail and tapas bar by the same owners next door, called En La Calle. If you forget to make a reservation, you can pop in here for a drink and snack while you wait for a seat at Limones.

Asheville's original, classic tapas restaurant. They don't get as much credit as our other Spanish Tapas joint, but this place is just cozier, more romantic and delicious than that other place (who shall remain nameless).. Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere! Try the Sangria!

Also one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to, but this one is all about celebrating Indian Street Food, so it's a completely different experience from our other prized Indian restaurant. You must try the kale pakoras! Even those that are afraid to eat kale will love them!

Great for lunch or dinner. They've called it Asian Soul Food and that's certainly fitting. I could eat this stuff just about every day! BONUS: You can hang out at neighboring Archetype Brewing and they will bring the food to you!

They have a large, curated selection of beer, cider, mead, and even a small selection of wine. They also have a few taps, so you can relax and have a drink and take your time as you peruse the selection. That's how I like to shop!

The lines get kind of crazy here, but I promise, they move fast and it's worth the wait. (I need that long to decide what I want to get). Their factory on Riverside Drive has an abbreviated menu, but it's a little more laid back if you want to beat the crowds. They also have a new Cookies & Creamery in the South Slope.

They have a location in Biltmore Village too, but I prefer the original location in Weaverville. It's closer to the house too! If you ever wanted an eclair the size of your face, this is your place! I also love the lunch items like the kale salad and curry chicken salad. If you go for brunch, definitely try the french toast casserole!

OK, so it's an obvious one. But there's just so much space for the kiddos to run around, and to picnic, bike, hike, and SO much more. My favorite place on the estate is at the gardens. I really like the gift shop at the gardens as well.
