What To Expect

Saluda

A 35 minute drive southeast of Asheville will take us to our first stop, Saluda. It is a charming mountain town with a population of just 700. As you stroll down the picturesque Main street, you discover a delightful array of long-standing restaurants, unique shops a free mueum in the old train depot and several vibrant galleries. Since its establishment in 1878, Saluda has been a favored destination for mountain tourists. The one-street downtown has preserved its historical charm, with many of the buildings recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. One of these is Pace’s General Store, an old-fashioned hardware and general store founded in 1899, which was featured on “Our Vanishing Americana.”

Pearson's Falls Glen

Pearson’s Falls is a picturesque 90-foor waterfall nestled in the heart of Saluda, surrounded by a botanical preserve comprised of over 310 species of plants and wildflowers. Take a leisurely stroll along the ¼ mile trail to view the falls. This stop can be replaced by another if the weather is foul or guests do not want to walk the trail.

Flat Rock

A short scenic drive will lead us to the village of Flat Rock. Here you’ll find a delightful selection of original Southern folk art, antiques, vintage treasures, jewelry, women’s clothing, and an award winning bakery. Flat Rock is home to the oldest Episcopal church in Western North Carolina built in 1836, which is open to the public most days and you can also delve into the legacy of renowned poet and writer Carl Sandburg by touring his historic estate. Flat rock offers a unique blend of culture and history.

Hendersonville

Our final destination is Hendersonville, home to the second largest downtown in western North Carolina, right after Asheville. This vibrant area is brimming with activities, sights, and flavors to enjoy. Stroll along the beautifully landscaped Main Street, with over 100 shops and 25 restaurants, you'll find a delightful mix of locally-owned, high-quality stores and galleries to explore. In addition to the vibrant downtown scene, Hendersonville offers several free museums, including a unique pinball museum. Just outside the downtown area, you’ll find a variety of attractions, including charming orchards, scenic farms, delightful wineries, and local breweries. We can discuss ahead of time your specific interests and tailor the stops to you and your guests. From Hendersonville, we will make our way back to the Asheville area.
