FISHES and WISHES

come true

"In my mind I'm gone to Carolina....." James Taylor

Ever wish for a vacation with spectacular scenery, exciting adventures, and relaxing evenings by the fireplace?  Here is a trip designed to make that wish come true. 

Escape the daily stress of school work and soccer games, and spend a fun-filled week in the Carolina mountains. 

Catch fish (or just feed them), and hike to a peaceful waterfall.  Ride horseback through hillsides of unmatched beauty.  Relax and enjoy wonderful meals from fun pizza to fabulous gourmet!

What You'll Do:

Saturday: (D)

Arrive at your luxury two bedroom cabin nestled in the woods.  Fish in the pond, soak in the hot tub, or challenge family members to a volleyball match.  Enjoy the dinner waiting for you in your cabin.

Sunday: (B, L) Explore the wonders of Chimney Rock Park today.  Then ride a pontoon boat across Lake Lure. Dinner is on your own tonight.

Monday: (B, L, D) Spend time as a family at the Pisgah Fish Hatchery and feed the fish before hiking an easy trail to a peaceful waterfall. If your kids are older, why not add a fly-fishing option or go for a guided mountain bike ride?* Tonight you'll savor a delicious meal at a fine lakeside restaurant.

Tuesday: (B, L, D) Hike to a scenic vista and enjoy a family picnic along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or simply picnic on your back deck if you prefer.  It’s pizza night tonight at Asheville’s favorite pizzeria.  

Wednesday: (B) Choose your own adventure today! Start with a Hot Air Balloon Ride high above Asheville.*  Other options include whitewater rafting, rock-climbing, mountain biking, and the Biltmore House.* Or, perhaps your version of adventure today means shopping in downtown Asheville or reading a book on your back deck.  Visit one of the many fine Asheville restaurants for dinner on your own tonight.

Thursday: (B, L) Enjoy hiking with a guide today, who can show you lesser-known wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  You'll have a trailside picnic, and return to your cabin refreshed and invigorated.

Friday:  (B, L, D) Enjoy a hearty country breakfast this morning. Ride horseback along trails that boast spectacular scenery.  Stop along the way at a gem mine and search the creek for garnet.  Finish your week with fun food at La Paz Mexican restaurant.

Saturday: (B) Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and perhaps a morning hike before departing for home.
