<strong>Adventure</strong> Destination<br />

Asheville, North Carolina<br />

Weekend With A Local<br />

There have been many articles devoted to activities in<br />

Asheville. There’s always the standard fare – Visit the<br />

Biltmore House, take in a treatment at the world famous<br />

Grove Park Inn and Spa...Check out Asheville’s<br />

well-known freakiness on Lexington Ave...It’s all out<br />

there for the Googling...What I’m gonna do is take you<br />

on a weekend with a local and share the adventurous<br />

stuff to do. Isn’t that why you wanted to visit?<br />

By Jay Curwen<br />

First...Where are you going to sleep? If you’re not<br />

lucky enough to have a friend with a couch to crash on,<br />

you’ll need a hotel...and a tourist town like Asheville<br />

is over-run with them. For convenience to downtown,<br />

combined with economy of price, look at Tunnel Road<br />

which is the main drag east out of town. You’ll find<br />

everything from a Super8 to a Hampton, all for between<br />

$50 and $100 per night, depending on the season.<br />

But, to get the real flavor of Asheville, spend a<br />

little more and go for a local bed and breakfast. For<br />

just over $120 a night, you can end up within comfortable<br />

walking distance of restaurants, coffee houses and<br />

everything you are here for. Two great choices are the<br />

Aberdeen Inn or the White Gate Inn.<br />
