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. Follow this website for more detailed instructions on finding the place: https://www.hikewnc.info/besthikes/big-ivy-coleman-boundary/lower-douglas-falls

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.

A few of Jessica's Favorite Restaurants

There are simply TOO many to name, but I will do my best to narrow it down here!
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!

Awesome, Latin-inspired food. We love their chips & super garlic-y "gringo" salsa.. And their Chocolate Moose Cake is pretty amazing too!

Breweries

With so many breweries in town, I'll try to narrow it down to my top favorites.
Also one of the most creative breweries that started from the most humble beginnings. I haven't checked out the new in-house food, but this place is at the top of my list for good beer!

Cider for the non-beer folks!

With all the beer in town, I had to give some love to the awesome, local cider.
They have my favorite cider in town.. but I also love the bartenders and the different spaces to hang out and play games. You can often find a good food truck on-site as well.

Beer & Wine Shops

There is no reason to buy wine anywhere else in town. Period. You won't find better prices (even at the grocery store) and you won't find better service anywhere else in town. They always have a bottle (or a few) open, so you can try before you buy!

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!
