A large riverfront property with picnic tables, a local yummy Authentic Mexican food truck and handcrafted brews. Throw down a blanket. Read a book. Listen to some Tunes and enjoy the giant outdoor fire pit. It’s also where the locals come to hide. If you come yoga, say hi to Heather (our yoga studio manager). She’s the brewmasters partner!

Some of my Favorite Hikes
Black Balsam Knob is about an 1-1.5 hours up the Blue Ridge Parkway, but it's surely worth the drive. Bring layers as it can get chillier at the higher elevation. The hike is mostly easy to moderate and boasts epic views above the tree line. Especially amazing in the Fall!

Car Rides in Asheville
Asheville has Uber, Lyft and Asheville Ride. Due to the pandemic, we hear staffing has been down with all ride share companies so plan extra time for pick ups. Rumor has it that Asheville Ride is the best. Got a big group? Ask my co-host, Mike, about renting the party bus. 🎉
