I’d always wanted to go to the top of Chimney Rock, so I finally did! My 73 year old mom made it, too! Those steps though! We took lots of breaks. Mom was disappointed that the flag wasn’t raised, but other than that it was...MoreWe're so glad you and your mom had a wonderful time in the Park. Thanks again for your review!

Well, I can no longer fully recommend this place. It is a great play place for children. But why would you sell alcohol in a little children's place??? Why? It isn't the place for that whether you drink or not, that is just wrong!!!!!!
Why would you sell something you can't sell to the children this place was built for????

We really enjoyed our visit to the creamery - which is a small shop with a small place to sit outside. There is a good variety of delicious cheese and we had a short explanation and tasting, and then choose our cheese plate and set...MoreThanks for taking part in the Cheese Trail and making us one of your stops!

We stopped twice to purchase meat for dinner while renting a nearby cottage for the week. They have a limited selection of fruit and vegetables, but nice selection of farm-raised meats. We were not disappointed. They had weekend activities, but we were rained out of taking the hayride.

My husband and I visited Biltmore Estate specifically to see their annual Spring tulip display and we were not disappointed!!! In the first week of March, all the tulips were in various stages of showing their beautiful buds and colors. We parked near the tulip garden so before leaving we checked out the gift shop there...the Gardener's Cottage. They have wonderful gift items as well as all sorts of garden items for your home.

We stopped early morning for apple picking and started with warm doughnuts! The people there were so nice and provided a map to guide us through the orchard and to identify the varieties of apples. It was especially fun because it was early on a weekday and we were alone in the orchards.
We completed the visit by picking up a couple of pumpkins and more cider doughnuts. Yum.
10. Troyer's Country Amish Blatz

We found Troyer's Country Amish Blatz on the internet and had read good things. So we decided to take a drive in early October to see what they had to offer. It's located in a rural area, but there were lots of visitors in the two hours we were there. At least seven other groups stopped in for a visit. One of the ladies said that the house is ten years old and was built specifically for the business.
Once you drive up the driveway in front of the building, you park in the back. It's a two-story white house and you walk from the back to the front via a sidewalk and wrap around porch. You enter the house, with a staircase to the left center and a hallway straight ahead. We decided to have lunch and have lots of choices of Troyer's deli meats. The sandwiches are offered on fresh homemade bread and are several inches high. Well worth the wait for fresh sliced deli meat and cheeses. They let you choose your additional snacks, drinks and tell you to take a seat outside on the porch. Once our sandwiches were done, they brought them to us. Every bite was delicious and filling! Sitting outside on a sunny day was wonderful.
On the porch are several rocking chairs that they sell or you can enjoy as you relax. Upstairs are several examples of Amish furniture that you can custom too your tastes. Downstairs, there are several choices of iron skillets and baking pans. You'll also find Amish Wedding foods, toppings and fillings for cupcakes/cakes, chocolates, candies, chips, nuts, grains, homemade soaps, etc. There's a lot to look at! The prices are very reasonable and everything we purchased was fresh.
In the back they have chickens and Alpaca. There's also a small garden to walk through. If we are in the area we will be sure to stop by again.
