Thinking of enjoying a holiday getaway this year? Great idea – may we suggest an Asheville Christmas? The holidays are a great time to visit with so many special events to attend. Winter Lights at the Arboretum, Christmas at Biltmore, Winter Wonderland at the Grove Arcade, and more!
Just about everyone loves the holiday season. It’s certainly one of the nicest times of the year here in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Lights and festive decorations are up at homes and shops, people are welcoming, holiday music and scents fill the air.
That’s certainly true here at Bent Creek Lodge. We love the holidays and always take the time to decorate appropriately. Guests visiting the lodge during the holiday season will find twinkling lights, bows, berries and boughs, a live Christmas tree, and more.
Looking for something fun and festive to do? You’ll find no end of fun, seasonal events to attend in the Asheville area, Halloween through New Years Day.
