Ready or not, the end of the year is nearly here. I’m betting you’re ready. 2020 has been a challenge for us all, so seeing the tail end of it seems cause for some celebration. Take your end of the year festivities to the next level with an Asheville getaway.
Bent Creek Lodge would love to host your New Year’s Eve getaway. Our Asheville Bed and Breakfast is just minutes from downtown Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Blue Ridge Parkway and all they have to offer. Thinking of an extended holiday stay? Great idea! Bent Creek Lodge can help with our Extended Stay lodging special.
New Year’s Eve in Asheville is always a special time, even in 2020. While many of the area’s traditional holiday events have been scaled back or even cancelled, others have adapted or continue, unchanged.
Large, crowded events and celebrations are off, of course, but don’t despair. Local restaurants and bars are still offering holiday specials and there are numerous safe, socially distanced events and attractions to attend. Just take a look!
