Ski Areas:
'Appalachian Retreat' is a great place to stay when visiting Appalachian, Beech or Sugar Mountain Ski Resorts. The resorts are all within 30 minutes from the cabin and have everything you need for a great day of skiing. At the end of the day come home to your quiet Appalachian Retreat!
MerleFest:
MerleFest, the annual Music Festival in Wilkesboro is a 45 minute or less drive from the house. You will still have access to the quiet and comfort of the cabin after a great day of music outdoors.
Bike Riding:
The cabin is @ 3 miles from an entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway and great biking. There is also a great flat trail at Railroad grade road between Fleetwood and Todd. In addition, there are great mountain biking trails nearby. There are great bike shops that have rentals available and lots of trail information. There are books in the cabin with information on bike rides as well-the owners love to ride, so that was a major priority for them.
Other Activities:
river floating, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, winery tours
