This is the river that runs through the neighborhood. If you're into fly fishing, this is a stocked stretch that is artificial flies only but it is a great spot to catch some nice brown, rainbow, and brook trout.

Located just minutes from the cottage, this is not only a fun hiking opportunity, but also an absolutely beautiful place to picnic and enjoy the sights. These falls are majestic and are one of the reasons we fell in love with this area- and we think you will too!

Beech is the farthest ski resort from the cottage, but worth it in our opinion. There's a full bar on the top of the mountain so you can take in the views while having a drink, and they are our favorite NC ski mountain because of the variety they offer. It's an easy drive through banner elk (about 25 minutes), but worth it in our opinion!

If you're looking for a great breakfast/ brunch spot, Kaye's is tough to beat. On Saturday and Sundays they have a "Buffet Style" breakfast with a french toast/ omelette stand. They have a surprising amount of toppings/ additions for the omelettes and french toast, and even offer french toast donuts (a favorite of ours). Friendly staff and fair prices make this a great option.
