Some of our favorite places to eat and drink in WNC!
Excellent wood-fired pizza (our favorite in the area; the mushroom is delicious!) and baked goods. Order at the counter and eat under the giant magnolia tree that covers the deck.

The brisket is amazing, get in a plate or my favorite the Flat Rock Cheesesteak! The potato salad is great and everything is fresh. It’s all outside in an adorable courtyard setting. Next to Flat Rock Village Bakery. *open seasonally*

My favorite place around these parts! Great wine selection, and amazing dishes for the foodie type. Aesthetically pleasing, casual, and cozy atmosphere. In West Asheville so about 40 minutes from Sky Ridge Retreat. Worth the drive!

Downtowns

Take a stroll down charming Main St and grab a bite to eat or do some shopping. It’s a short, very walkable stretch with beautiful old buildings housing some of Hendo’s best small businesses.

Greenville, SC in the Upstate area has a very unique downtown that’s a different vibe than the mountain towns close by but it’s just an hour south of the house. There’s a beautiful bridge and waterfall right in the middle of downtown and it’s very walkable.

Hiking, biking, waterfalls, picnic tables along the river. We park at Davidson Campground and walk along the Art Loeb trail. Sliding Rock and Looking Glass Falls are popular Pisgah spots and close to each other. But our favorite is the Moore Cove Falls trail!
