Asheville North Carolina, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is a
perfect combination of small town and big city. Take the big city diversity of
eateries, lodging, entertainment, art and festivals, and put it all in a town
of less than 90,000 inhabitants, with plenty of local charm, local businesses
and local goodwill and you have Asheville.

Relax in the luxury that is the Biltmore Estate or Grove Park Inn, or leave it
all behind for a week in the mountains, carrying everything you need in your
backpack - Asheville can make it happen, along with everything in between.
Basking in the glory of being Beer City USA for two years in a row, Asheville
is home to 11 breweries with a variety of hometown brews!

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville has wonderful opportunity for
almost unlimited outdoor recreation. Visiting the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, driving, hiking or biking the Blue Ridge Parkway are just some
of the things that are easy day trips from Asheville.

About the Author

Kay Holloway Cole has lived in Asheville for 20 years, and while enjoying a
variety of careers in Asheville, she has always loved Asheville history,
exploring Western North Carolina, and sharing adventures and wonderful
locations with friends and family. The fact that their eyes glaze over, they
start shifting in their seats and looking towards the door was never a
deterrent to her continuing with yet another story or fascinating fact.


Kay lives with her son, daughter and husband on his family farm outside of
Asheville. The kids are fifth generation farmers on that land. While hiking
and history are her first loves, it's impossible to live in Asheville without
loving the unique atmosphere that exists here. Favorite bumper sticker: "Keep
Asheville weird".
