Check out the Fall color map for Western North Carolina and book your stay today!

Fall color in the Asheville, N.C. area generally begins in late September, with the highest elevations (above 6,000 feet) seeing the change first. During the next six weeks, fall color makes its way down the mountainsides into the valleys and foothills. So, no matter when you visit from late Septem...

Another sweet review! Check out our cabins if you are traveling to Old Fort, NC!

Patrick & Lisa were wonderful hosts, very responsive and helpful! We loved our time at their tiny cabin in the woods… Beautiful surroundings with perfectly clean and very comfortable accommodations. Downtown Old Fort has some great food options and cute shops that we enjoyed thanks to the recommendations listed by Patrick & Lisa. We will definitely book again next time we are in the area!

WE LOVE MAKING OUR RENTERS HAPPY 😃

This tiny cabin is absolutely adorable and perfect in every way. The location is great, just a little way from a downtown or hike, but secluded enough to be away from it all too. It was just the right space for our family of 3 to sleep comfortably and enjoy being in nature when outside. The cabin itself was stocked with all the essentials and you can feel the love and care put into it. Lisa & Patrick are the kindest hosts, so thoughtful and accommodating making us feel just at home. They did little things for us that made our trip extra special and we appreciate them as our hosts. We will 1000% be back and found our favorite place to escape to!

So exciting that Catawba Falls in Old Fort is opening!

Reopening on this Friday, May 31, the improved Catawba Falls Trail is a 3.5 mile easy to intermediate hike-only loop trail. As you visit the falls this summer, enjoy the sounds of the water, the deep green of the forest, and the cool breeze off the cascades - but be prepared for adventure!

Most visitors will choose to walk the trail counter-clockwise using the river trailhead to your right. From this point, you can expect to hike:

0.8 miles to the site of the old hydropower dam and its three tiered falls
1.1 miles to the 250-foot moss-covered lower falls
1.3 miles to the plunging 80-foot upper falls
3.5 miles back to the parking area on the ridge trail with mountain views

The journey between the lower and upper falls is equivalent to climbing a 30 story building, gaining over 300 feet of elevation in a tenth of a mile. There are approximately 580 steps. Although the path is safe, the journey past the lower falls is not easy! Hikers with pre-existing medical conditions should use caution.
