Teresa Smith was very helpful to me when I contacted her about needing access to a printer on my vacation to Maggie Valley. She went out of her way to help me find someplace to print my departure plane boarding pass and even offered to meet me at the Chamber, on a day when it was closed, just to print my pass for me. Super service. Maggie Valley has the best people! Thanks, Teresa.

This was our meeting place to take the Ridgeline Trolley on Blue Ridge Parkway up to Linville Falls. Beautiful fall tree colors. The Burke Center has lots of brochures on area. Very informative. This is only information center. I answered no on most of questions asked below. If you take the Ridgeline Trolley tour definitely wear athletic shoes.

Reviewed By 646lorit - Dawsonville, United States
This rest area is much nicer than the ones along the interstate highways. The restrooms have upscale wood and glass walls, like a mountain lodge. The visitor info center has helpful guides, lots of brochures, and a very nice gift center with some local products. I got a beautiful recycled paper birthday card for less than $4. Outside there are several picnic tables under shady trees. This is a great place to stretch the legs.

We came to Asheville with reservations to tour the Vanderbilt house. Having spent a day at Biltmore, we went to the Visitor Center the next day. A bus was in the lot and the staff inside the Center asked if we were here for the bus tour leaving in 5 minutes. Yes, good idea. The center is large, well laid out and welcoming with clean restrooms which was all we had time to see. Our tour bus driver-guide was outstanding. He had an answer for any question. We learned so much about the area history and the people there. The tour was worth every cent we paid.

We were doing some scenic driving when we saw the signs for the Vance Birthplace, not a native to NC, so we wanted to stop and get the history. Such a wonderful experience takes about an hour to explore if you love history! Has a nice covered shelter for a family picnic as well. We will bring our grandchildren on our return trip to NC.
