Spacious Cabin Rental for a Family Getaway in North Carolina

Nestled in the fantastic and lush Pisgah National Forest along the Blue Ridge, there are plenty of incredible things to do when visiting the rugged North Carolina Mountains. Guests can explore the many great hiking and biking trails in this part of the southern Appalachian Mountains. A must-do is a visit to the Black Mountain State Park, with five of the tallest peaks east of the Mississippi in this mountain range. The closest one - Mt. Mitchell, visible from the Mitchell View cabin and easily accessible by car, also happens to be the tallest, towering over the region at almost 7,000 feet high.

Visitors should take the chance to explore the mountains with great trails and visit the observation deck at the peak of Mitchell with scenic views overlooking the North Carolina countryside. The Black Mountains are also home to the only alpine forest in the eastern United States. Glampers can explore and enjoy the fairy tale setting of moss-covered trees and the eternal smell of Christmas through the spruce and fir pine-lined trails. The mountains are waterfall country and many are easily accessible, while others offer a challenge to access, but hikers are rewarded with magnificent waterfalls that take guests' breath away.

Glampers looking for culture can head into the city of Asheville, the cultural center of western North Carolina. The downtown area is also great to check out the shops, bars, and restaurants, for a taste of the local culture and cuisine as well as the many crafts from the region.

The spectacular Biltmore House, built at the turn of the twentieth century by the Vanderbilts as their summer mountain retreat, is open to the public year-round and offers a view of high society living during the start of the 1900s.
