When I meet with prospective buyers within THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN, they want to know how they can easily become involved in and become an integral part of the broader community of our historic hometown and surrounding small towns.
Obviously, becoming involved in a church of your faith is an excellent way to get to know a group of people with whom you will share core values.
Another favorite way is to volunteer with the many non-profits that exist in this servant-heart atmosphere around this Blue Ridge Parkway area.
One of my favorites is The Appalachian Therapeutic Riding Center located about 10 minutes from your cabin or mountain home within The Cove at Celo Mountain. It is pure joy to witness the rider and volunteers interacting with the uncanny ability of the horse to transcend physical, emotional, mental, or psychological limitations or traumas. Enjoy Part I of a video of some of these people below. Part II can be accessed by clicking on the link listed below the video. A list of some of the area non-profits follow. Some may be an extension of work you have done in your own hometown.
Join with us in this rewarding work of community. Help support this worthy non-profit at the Kentucky Derby Celebration May 7, 2011 at the Burnsville Town Center. Big screen projection of the actual race, gourmet dinner, live music and dancing, Player's Corner games and locally handcrafted work and other fine prizes. Call(828) 675-5814 for tickets.

Spring in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina
It's springtime on THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN located in a river valley of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.
From Ideal Living magazine: "Nestled in 80 pristine acres, The Cove at Celo Mountain in Western North Carolina exemplifies mountain lifestyle at its finest. The select few who make this private enclave of 31-1 acre plus homesites their own will enjoy elevations up to 3700 feet, with thoughtful design guidelines ensuring that views, trees, trout filled streams and the unique land features will be preserved for generations to come."
In March and April, stay for 3 days and 2 nights at one of our historic B&B's - compliments of the owners of THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN - while you tour this beautiful sanctuary setting and enjoy some of our favorite spring events.

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.
