Location for us was unexpectedly surprising. West Asheville is its own destination. Two restaurants nearby were great (Nine Mile) and Jargon is world class. Plus downtown is just a few minutes drive. Info Center was helpful and HONEST. Try Wicked Weed Brewery and Chiesa. Blue Ridge Parkway is a must, especially if have eyes and a camera. And Folk Art Center is incredible. Oh, and Emily and Paul really care. Ask Paul about cable. We missed days of news on a bigger screen (and ignored our phones). A welcome escape.
