About 1.5 miles from downtown Asheville, this is a wonderful location to talk a walk through beautiful changing fall leaves and experience a few views of the mountains.

Go visit the Biltmore Estate. The house was designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt and is America's Largest Home® spanning 175,000 square feet, which is more than four acres of floor space. The 250-room French Renaissance chateau includes 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, and 65 fireplaces.

Golf/Dine at the Omni. The views are fantastic!

Red pandas! and other cool animals too

Asheville has nearly 30 breweries within the city limits, including Highland Brewing Company (the city's oldest), Green Man Brewery, French Broad River Brewery, Catawba Brewing Company and Eurisko Beer Company.

The River Arts District is a creative hub along the French Broad River. Former warehouses and mills, many with colorful exterior murals, contain glassblowing, pottery, and other artisan studios, plus indie art galleries. The buzzing dining and nightlife scene encompasses hip cafes, BBQ restaurants, craft breweries, and cozy, chilled-out music venues like the long-running Grey Eagle.
