FAVORITE FALL FESTIVALS and EVENTS


Yancey County Dream Home Tour
The home of Paul and Susan Crutchfield - THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN
Nestled among the trees at Celo Mountain, Paul “Bubba” and Susan Crutchfield’s home was built using materials native to the area and boasts a view spanning seven ridgelines that reach to the Blue Ridge Parkway http://www.mayland.edu/foundation/hometour.html

There is only one thing that surpasses the beauty of our celebrated fall foliage here along the Blue Ridge Parkway. And that is the beauty within The Cove at Celo Mountain. A typical comment of those who tour this property is that it looks like an upscale part of a National Park. The fall foliage within this private gated community near Asheville, NC is only enhanced by the numerous creeks, streams, trout ponds, waterfalls, manicured hiking trails, mountain properties, mountain homes and beautifully appointed cabins for sale with dramatic mountain views. The quaint, historic “small-town America” communities that surround us celebrate this beauty in a big way with annual fall festivals and events. These are a few of the more popular upcoming events:
