About Asheville

Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, Asheville boasts ruggedly beautiful scenery and maintains a reputation as an arts colony and healing resort. Its picturesque setting at the confluence of the Swannanoa and French Broad Rivers is a draw for nature lovers, while those interested in rich and varied architecture will find its mix of Art Deco, Beaux Arts, and Neoclassical styles irresistible. Notable downtown buildings representing this architectural heritage include Asheville’s city hall, the Battery Park Hotel, the Grove Park Inn, the S&W Cafeteria Building, and the Basilica of St. Lawrence, all of which offer a historical peek into the design trends of yesteryear. This beautifully preserved mountain town offers plenty to see and do; the funky, trendy downtown core boasts a variety of locally-owned shops and art galleries, live music and entertainment, and a cutting-edge culinary scene where local chefs showcase the best of Appalachian cuisine. Due to its higher elevation, Asheville enjoys a temperate climate; summer temperatures rarely climb above 90 degrees, making it one of the cooler spots in the state, while snowfall in winter is mostly confined to the nearby ski resorts. Kids will enjoy trips to the zoo or a plunge down a 60-foot natural waterslide, while a zipline tour of the city will delight folks of all ages. With its beautiful natural setting, rich historical past, and plentiful cultural opportunities, Asheville is a great place to call home!
