Nature's Magic Kingdom

“In the woods, too, a man casts off his years and is always a child.  In the woods is perpetual youth.”  Emerson

Revive your childhood energies and reconnect with nature on this woodland getaway. Grandparents, parents, teenagers, and children will all find respite in walks in the woods, quiet time in a chalet, and family time together.

What You'll Do:

Day One (D)

Arrive at your chalet and hike a nearby trail or just relax on your deck.  This evening, enjoy a wonderful chef-prepared meal awaiting you in your chalet. 

Day Two (B, L, D) Start your week with a lovely trail ride through spectacular mountain scenery.  Stop at a 200 year old gem mine along the way and scour for garnet in the creek.  A picnic lunch is also included. Tonight, grill the steaks we have provided for you, and enjoy dinner on your deck as the sun sets over the mountains.

Day Three (B, L) Visit Mt. Mitchell, the tallest peak east of the Mississippi, and hike an easy, peaceful nature trail or a more strenuous, yet rewarding, ridge trail.  If you’d like, you can also visit Craggy Gardens, full of beautiful wildflowers and offering spectacular vistas. Dinner tonight is on your own.

Day Four (B) Choose your own adventure today!  Ride the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad or explore Asheville today.  Or perhaps you’d just like to curl up with a good book!  Dinner is on your own.

Day Five (B, L, D) Enjoy self-guided hiking to some of our favorite family-friendly trails.  Pick up a picnic along the way to enjoy beside a waterfall or on a mountaintop.  Dinner is a casual meal at a local restaurant, or if you prefer, we'll have it delivered to you!

Day Six (B) Enjoy breakfast at a fabulous local bakery before departing for home.
