Steele and Style

Your whole Asheville, North Carolina itinerary is planned; you will visit the infamous Biltmore Estate, you will dine at a fine asheville restaurant, and you will stay at a very impressive hotel. But upon arriving in Asheville, it is certain that you will notice that there is a lot of Asheville you want to see and experience aside from the activities planned in your vacation itinerary, causing you to either be interested in prolonging your stay or be tempted to come back some time next year.

Aside from touring the famous 250-room château which is filled with antiques and priceless arts, and experiencing adventure with nature by trying some hiking and some water sports, touring other parts of Asheville is really worthwhile. Asheville’s first mansion, the Smith-McDowell House Museum is the oldest surviving house in Asheville. Many people visit the museum for the color season to see the mansion that is built around 1840 by James McConnell Smith. For those who seek art and entertainment, the Asheville Contemporary Dance Theater is a great place to visit. After trying some fresh from the farm foods at an asheville downtown restaurant, you can opt to visit the Southern Appalachian Mountains, which is considered one of the three most diverse temperate ecosystems around the world. In here you can find Asheville’s Botanical Gardens where you can see native plant species taken care of.

You may even be interested in visiting attractions and tourist spots located in nearby towns and areas such as the Linville Caverns, the Chimney Rock Park and Western North Carolina Center.
