Weaverville is a sweet little town just far enough away from Asheville to escape the crowd but not so far as to be inconvenient. Some very good restaurants offer great local choices. The Glass Onion (A+ food), the notorious Well Bred Bakery, All Good Coffee for the connoisseur, Blue Mountain Pizza (usually has live music), and The Twisted Laurel to name a few.
Artisans On Main represents the work of more than 30 local artist work and 5 working studios. Miya Gallery, and Mangum Pottery also showcase beautiful locally made art and craft work.
The house is 5 minutes from the parkway, 10 minutes from downtown Weaverville and 20 minutes from downtown Asheville.
Hiking, Zipline Adventures, Natural Hotsprings, and river tubing are all nearby.
