Where to Get Away From It All - the Sanctuary Setting of The Cove at Celo Mountain

Tired of the rat race?
Weary of materialism?
Searching for authenticity?
Wanting to recapture the love of nature and sports of your youth?
Longing for the small town or rural relationships of a bygone era?
Seeking something lost or not yet found through art?

This is your retreat - your escape - your sanctuary. THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN is secluded within the South Toe River Valley of the storied Blue Ridge Mountains - far enough away from the rush and crush of fast-paced city life to restore your soul; close enough to Fodor's 2011 Top Destination for World Travel (Asheville, NC) to stay just connected enough. More artists, per capita, than anywhere else in America call this home. The world-renowned Penland School of Crafts is here, along with rivers for fly-fishing/tubing/rafting, mountains to climb, waterfalls to mesmerize and hiking trails to challenge - including the Appalachian Trail - that draw tourists from across the country. You will likely come to relax, regroup, reenergize, or reinvent yourself. But, I have a feeling, the greatest balm to your soul and spirit will be the guileless and unpretentious people here. Come back to the heart of America.
