1. Vance Birthplace
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 69 reviews
This pioneer farmstead, tucked in the Reems Creek Valley, features the birthplace of Zebulon Baird Vance, Civil War Governor of NC. The five-room log house and its outbuildings are furnished to evoke the period from 1795 to 1840. Vance's military and political career as Civil War officer, North Carolina governor, and U.S. Senator is traced at the homestead. Also included is the history of Vance's famous mountain family.

When we arrived we were told there were four school groups taking tours and all of the tour guides were busy with them. They also would not let us hook up with a school group to get inside the house and a tour guide would not be available until 2pm. I was able to take 2 pictures through the window though after one school group left.
The property offers the Vance homestead, the original 1790s slave cabin, and five outbuildings in a beautiful valley setting. There is no fee to take the tour. I always find it sad to look at the slave cabins and take some time to reflect. The visitors center has a nice small museum inside.

Especially with dogs. Large water falls into a stream and a walk beside it for about 1/4 mile.
Can swim in shallow water below the falls. Good to check with park rangers on water safety/toxicity for different rainy conditions.
Above u walk around the lake which has ducks. DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED around the lake.

Convenient and free parking! We are good walkers and stopped by to pick up the 1.7 mile urban trail map. The woman at the welcome center suggested we park there (free!) so we did. Good advice.
They have PLENTY of brochures, maps, a gift shop, bathroom. Definitely worth a visit to help plan your stay.
Not the very best of places to get restaurant & nightlife advice. The women on staff when we visited were "of a certain age" and perhaps not so personally knowledgeable about music, bars, and restaurants.

Experience Asheville's historic arts and crafts destination. Located adjacent to The Omni Grove Park Inn, this site once housed the weaving and woodworking operations of Biltmore Industries, an Arts and Crafts enterprise founded by Edith Vanderbilt and two inspired teachers, Eleanor Vance and Charlotte Yale. Today, the 11-acre property - listed on the National Register of Historic Places - is home to Grovewood Gallery, working artist studios, Golden Fleece restaurant, the Biltmore Industries Homespun Museum, and Asheville's only antique car museum. PLEASE NOTE: Our 2 museums are closed during the winter months of January - March. Grovewood Gallery and Golden Fleece restaurant are open year-round. Grovewood Village has no admission fees, and free parking is available on-site.

We went here specifically for the antique auto museum; my husband is a car aficionado. We were there during the holiday week so long line to get into the Grove Park Inn complex. Once you're in it's easy to park and enjoy the Grovewood Village. We enjoyed a glass of wine at the restaurant and a few of the outdoor sculptures. The star is the museum! The docent greeted us and gave us a brief history and even photographed our pack of 3 schnauzers! Then we were on our own to enjoy the VERY impressive display.

We looked forward to re-visiting this mountain course for eight years, but were disappointed. The best part of the course were the greens, well manicured and challenging. Tee boxes were weedy and scruffy. The fairways were soggy and long. Excluding the greens, play was akin to playing in a pasture. Very disappointing to what once was a beautiful, challenging course.
9. Lexington Glassworks
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 772 reviews
Lexington Glassworks, located in the heart of downtown Asheville, NC, was born out of the desire to create timeless and innovative hand-blown glass. Each piece is skillfully crafted using century old techniques and locally sourced material with the singular goal of creating top-notch work. The gallery features high quality custom lighting and handmade glass for any budget. Lexington Glassworks is a makers studio where the public is invited to view the artists at work. While here take the unique opportunity to enjoy a locally crafted beer, this is truly an Asheville experience. Note: We do not blow glass on Tuesdays.

This glass blowing studio is a cool place to check out while in Asheville! It was awesome to watch the glass blowers work and create. There are so many beautiful pieces on display that are for sale and the employee working at the studio / main desk was very informative and friendly. They do not have a parking lot to park in, but there is affordable public parking near by. Definitely worth the stop!

The brews here are consistently some of the best I have tasted. Although they are only open on Friday and Saturday afternoons, it is worthwhile scheduling time to stop in and see what they have been working on. They do a lot of really small batches, some are available only as tastes and others are available to take home a (large) bottle.
