Pretty cool! Wonder if our January guests will get to see any any of the film being shot here? We'll have to wait until next year's holiday season to see it, but here's a short synopsis courtesy of the Citizen-Times:

"The movie's storyline begins with screenwriter Lucy Collins (Lenz) landing a job to write the script for a remake of "His Merry Bride!," a beloved Christmas classic first filmed at Biltmore House in 1947. Lucy travels to the estate and joins a guided tour of the historic home. She's drawn to an entrancing hourglass that she accidentally knocks over, subsequently being transported back in time to 1946 ― the Golden Age of Hollywood ― and on set with the cast and crew of "His Merry Bride!" at Biltmore.

"As Lucy attempts to blend in and navigate the unfamiliar place and time, she catches the eye of the film's lead, Jack Huston (Polaha). Lucy rebuffs his advances but the duo shares a connection that cannot be denied. The chain of events that occur after Lucy's sudden appearance also can't be ignored and it's putting the production in jeopardy. Lucy must make things right before she can return to the present or else threaten to alter the future forever. Lucy is presented with one chance to go home though it will mean saying farewell to her potential soulmate. Or will Christmas magic keep the curtain from closing on their love story?"

Hallmark Channel announces filming of new "Countdown to Christmas" movie at Biltmore Estate in Asheville, the famed Vanderbilt home and landmark.

About 4am last night it sounded like our "guests" were having quite a party, running around outside and making so much noise it woke us up. What a bunch of turkeys! 😂

We're thrilled to have this local brewery, just down the road from us in Fairview, voted Best Brewery for 2022! Check them out when you're here--super nice people, yummy brews, and things for friends and family to do!

We’re honored to announce we’ve been voted Best Brewery for 2022 by Best of Asheville ! This award means the world to us being in a town with so many extraordinary breweries, many of whom have been inspirational to us since long before we opened our doors. We’re so proud of our little brewery that could and how far it’s come since we first started serving beers out of our tiny red caboose on top of a hill. We never could have done that without such a phenomenal community around us, who shows up for small businesses in such a big way. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the outstanding support, and thank you Best of Asheville for the opportunity for this awesome recognition! 🏆🙌❤️

"Be Still My Heart 🍁🧡🍂 Fall is the magical time of year when the struggle of holding on and letting go collides into a seasonal kaleidoscope of pure joy! The Blue Ridge Pkwy is currently a Leaf Peepers paradise. I honestly thought I was driving through a Norman Rockwell work of art for over 20miles… " Sarah Jane Gies

The colors, like the times, they are a changin'!!

Grandfather Mountain Daily Fall Color Report | Oct. 12, 2022:

As fall color blankets Grandfather Mountain this week, another great view is from Half Moon Overlook on the lower half of the mountain. This iconic view of Linville and Morton Peaks offers a landscape of rock faces and granite cliffs, the dark-green hue of evergreens and a kaleidoscope of fall colors. Photo by Skip Sickler | Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation

Please note that this photo was taken earlier this week. Today is a cloudy day at Grandfather with limited visibility at the highest elevations. Light rain is in the forecast for portions of today and Thursday before a return to beautiful weather on Friday. Cloudy, wet days can provide their own special viewpoint of fall color, with the red, orange and yellow colors popping even more against a foggy landscape.

Throughout this busy season, it is strongly recommended to book your tickets in advance online: grandfather.com/tickets.

Planning a trip to western NC this fall? Leaf colors start coming out in early October, and reach their peak first in the higher elevations. Here's a fall color forecast map that may help. Burney Mountain, the backdrop behind Cane Creek Valley Swim-Soak-Stay, is usually prettiest around the 3rd week of October, but it's a great view year round!

True story…
Why are the Blue Ridge Mountains blue? The trees growing along the ridgelines produce high levels of a compound call isoprene. The isoprene hovers around the thickly forested mountains like a haze and scatters the different wavelengths of light and the short, small waves of blue dominate our receptors. Of course, the best place to see the effect is while resting or traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia. With amazing views, hiking trails, waterfalls and wildlife, the mountains might be blue, but you won't feel that way.
