Activities in the area:

MILLS RIVER:
Mills River is HOPping with breweries!
Sierra Nevada Brewery (8 min drive) is one of our favorite places. Anyone that comes to visit, it’s a must. They have an excellent menu and it’s just a really family friendly atmosphere. Often there is live music on a tiered, outdoor auditorium with games for kids and a garden you can walk through.

Mills River Brewery has a beautiful outdoor/dog-friendly seating area and a food truck always on site.
*Mills River Brewery, Bold Rock Cidery and Burning Blush Brewery are a stones throw from the house and can all be found within a one-mile radius.

ASHEVILLE:
20-30 minute drive gets you to Asheville. You can spend and entire day checking out the downtown. Asheville is a foodie town and has everything you could imagine! Most locations offer plant-based and gluten free options. One of our favorite spots is Sunny Point Cafenin West Asheville. *Hole donuts was recently rated the second best donut shop in the nation! If you are into breweries, almost all of them have outdoor seating and food trucks as well as outdoor games for kids. On a pretty day, New Belgium for example is perfect for a family stop. For indoor activities:
Asheville Science Museum
The Biltmore
Asheville trampoline center
The Grove Park Inn
* There are TONS of breweries in the area but Burial Forestry Camp stands our as one of our favorites. Most all breweries in the area have food trucks on site and offer NA options.

HENDERSONVILLE:
A 20 minute drive East takes you to the charming town of Hendersonville. *The BEST pizza in the area is Pie Squared, in Hendersonville on 191. (try The Tomato Pie)
Hit up the Elijah Craig Gem mine (on 64) for the kids. Once in the downtown area, the parking garage towards north Main Street will give you access to all the quaint shops and restaurants. Make sure to check out Mast General Store and Kilwins Chocolates. Shine and Postero (both on Main Street) are our front runners for a nice dinner.
Always call ahead for hours and availability but on a rainy day for kids:
Hendersonville kids museum
Hendersonville pinball arcade
Hendersonville aquarium.
**Florida people do not despair! We do have a PUBLIX in Hendersonville for your pub-sub fix!


BREVARD:
Super cute little town. 22 minutes south down 280. Easy enough to park right downtown and walk to all the sights. Blue Ridge Bakery is a must! With kids In tow, you can’t pass up the three story OP Taylor Toy store and then hit up Rocky’s local soda shop. For unique shopping, make sure to check out Mantiques and DDBullwinkles outdoor store. While the kids are still on a sugar high, grab some sandwiches to-go from Food Matters Cafe and head into Pisgah Forest to check out all our beautiful waterfalls.
Looking Glass falls is a short drive into the forest and has parking with a tiny walk down to the falls. For a full days adventure, rent a tube at the entrance of the forest and lazy River tube down the river or spend the day at Sliding Rock. If the weather is dreary, you can check out the Cradle of Forestry for kids entertainment in Pisgah. On a pretty day, the 25 minute drive up 276 from Brevard to the Blue Ridge is worth the spectacular view. If it’s supper time on the parkway, The Pisgah Inn has a stellar and fancy menu.
*Morning Social is our spot for /breakfast/brunch


DUPONT/FLAT ROCK:
DuPont Forest is a must. It’s a 30 minute drive to Park at the High Falls access parking lot (with visitor center and bathrooms) and take the three-mile hike to three stunning waterfalls. You can spend an entire day hiking in DuPont but if you’ve got time to spare, head out to Sky Top Orchard or Jeter Mountain Farm. Pick some apples, swing by their petting zoo and don’t forget to snag a hot apple-cider donut! If you would rather a little beauty and serenity, The Carl Sandburg Home is lovely and also has goats for the kiddos.


SALUDA:
If you are into kayaking, river tubing or zip-lining, a half hour drive brings you to the Green River/Saluda area. The cutest little down-town offers quaint shops and restaurants. Make sure to check out the best bakery in the area, Wildflour Bakery and Cafe or The Purple Onion.

Information for our guests booked during WINTER months:
Although we haven’t had much snow in the last few years, it is always a possibility. Our rental is located in the river valley, so no mountain-steep driveway. We do however, still recommend a four wheel/all wheel drive vehicle while traveling in western NC in the event of snowfall. All of our rentals on Mills River do have whole-home generators and land-lines in the event of power outages. Our Christmas tree and decorations are typically up December 1st - January 1st. If you are celebrating a late Christmas, please let us know so we can leave decorations out longer for your stay.

Absolutely Fabulous
I’ve stayed in a lot of different VRBOs. So many do a decent job, well enough to cover the basics. This host has not missed a thing. The cookware was plentiful and in good shape. No chipped teflon. There were plenty of spices, a nice coffee/tea selection, s’mores set for the fire pit on the deck. They even included firewood. The furniture inside is all very comfortable and so well designed. My family members loved the available books about hiking the area. The sun room is cozy and inviting. The outdoor sectional on the covered deck was very relaxing. It’s really a very well done rental. I highly recommend it.

Awesome place
This place is awesome. There are deer in the front yard daily. Our kids loved watching them. The river is beautiful. The host was timely in response to a couple questions. The kitchen is very well stocked. Internet is spotty but we expected that. There are lots of dvds you can watch if streaming won’t work. Great spot!
