We were so fortunate to have Dodie Stephens from Explore Asheville on the show. Asheville is this beautiful, eclectic southern city in the Blue Ridge Mountains that we love! The Biltmore is without a doubt a major attraction any time of year. Add the decorations for the holidays and you have a holiday destination you won't want to miss!

The holidays always brings the National Gingerbread House Competition. The competition is virtual this year, but there are still some fun things you can participate in at the Omni Grove Park Inn.

The North Carolina Arboretum also has an exciting holiday attraction that you won't want to miss.

The food scene in Asheville is vibrant with new restaurants like Benne on Eagle and Asheville Propper. Jettie Raes offers fresh seafood from the coast.

Asheville is dedicated to making sure your stay is safe in the era of COVID. You can go to ExporeAsheville.com to learn more about the steps they city is taking to keep you safe.
