Both upscale and down-home adventures await you in these magical mountains - especially at these special times of the year.
Enjoy classic Southern cuisine at the Grovewood Café, the Horizons and Sunset Terrace at The Grove Park Inn, the Red Stag Grill at the Grand Bohemian Hotel, or the various dining options at the Biltmore Estate and Inn at Biltmore. These are pricey but wonderful, with activities near and around each to keep you dazzled. Reservations are highly recommended.A Down-Home Thanksgiving
• It is tradition in many of our small-town America mountain settings for local churches to serve Thanksgiving dinner to the community and out-of-town visitors – large or small groups of family or friends, singles, senior citizens, college age, any age, well-heeled or those down-on their-luck are all welcomed with open arms. ALL join together to share this traditional meal – reminiscent of that first Thanksgiving. These luscious home-cooked meals are most often free-of-charge or at a very nominal cost. Higgins Memorial United Methodist in our hometown of Burnsville is one of the churches providing this gift to our community. It is a great way to meet the servant-heart, salt-of-the-earth people in these mountains.
• Follow the afternoon of warm fellowship and fabulous food with a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
• Take in a movie at our historic Yancey Movie Theater offering the latest and top movies for only $5.

• visit a Better Homes & Garden featured quilt shop, Needle Me This, and let them get you started on your first or fiftieth quilt.

• Tour The Cove at Celo Mountain and choose your own Cabin at Celo or mountain getaway home or property in a sanctuary setting within the Pisgah National Forest, surrounded on all 4 sides by national and state-designated scenic highways. Spend the day hiking our 3 miles of manicured trails along Ayles Creek, streams, waterfalls and trout ponds. You will likely see flocks of wild turkey foraging in this park-like setting. You may even get to see one in flight. Turn this vacation of a lifetime into a home for a lifetime.
