Taking a little roadtrip to Asheville in August, need to get away for a little and relax. I have been there a couple times before so I already know the more tripadvisor.com stuff to do like biltmore, chimney rock, etc.
We'll be there about 5 days. Going to take my lady to Max Patch, probably go ziplining, and who knows what else.

Anyone here on RIU live in WNC that can give me some advice? More local and less touristy stuff? I know theres tons of good food and beer down there, too. Would like to relocate someday.
 
i find it hard to believe there are no asheville people here willing to help. or anyone? im not looking for a hookup, just want to go to some cooler local places. any advice or recommendations would be awesome. thanks!
 
if you use google you can usually find like a trip adviser report and read the reviews and make your judgements on food, venues and other things like that
 
One of my best friends lived there for over a year. She absolutely loooved it :). Ill ask her and get back to you. From what Ive heard its an all around beautiful and cool town.
 
Make your way to Hanging Rock in Winston-Salem. I used to walk that as a kid.

Asheville has a ton of places to visit. And TN is not too far, you can make it out to Dollywood as a day trip.

Epic Fail sunni. you must not have read my post saying that i already know about the touristy trip advisor crap. thanks anyway though
 
i know i know, but ive been there and done the tripadvisor stuff, like i said, i was just asking for other options that might not be on there.

might have to check out hanging rock, it looks pretty cool. i was also thinking of craggy gardens
 
have you ever tried kava before? it is interesting and nice, i havent done it for about 10 years so again, thanks this is a really cool suggestion
 
Just get on the Blueridge Parkway & fire one up.....stay away from the Waffle House in Bat Cave NC !!!!!!!!
 
The Orange Peel......

Check it out.....
What cowboykush said is very good info......whenever someone says fire one up on the Blueridge parkway you cant go wrong,
 
Check out Grandfather Mountain - the views from the mile high swinging bridge are absolutely gorgeous! And Asheville... isn't that where the NC zoo is? Or is it Asheboro? I can't remember... Quite honestly I don't know where Asheville is even though I've lived in NC my whole life lol. If it's near Boone, I know that area VERY well. :p
