Asheville was beautiful. We stayed in Weaversville, a nearby town. The town was safe, although many people were not friendly and did not take well to the large tourist culture. Would recommend staying in Asheville or Mills River in the future. However, Weaversville was gorgeous. Asheville is known for their food, so prepare a large restaurant budget! Some favorites of mine were Biscuithead, Sunny Point Cafe, 131 Main, and Luella's BBQ. Grandfather mountain and Pigsah forest make excellent day trips, but spend plenty of time downtown, and at the art galleries/exhibits! Several microbreweries that I didn't go to, but have heard raging things about! We did stop at Sierra Nevada for the food as well. We drove down and having a car is a necessity, although most parking is paid. We spent about $2500 between shopping, lodging, and eating out- which we did usually at least twice a day. Overall would absolutely recommend!

I did a housesit outside of Asheville, NC for 2 weeks. I can’t recommend Asheville enough! So many things to do - art tours, hikes, the Biltmore, shopping, AMAZING food. If you are love the outdoors, art, and food, you will love Asheville. An ideal destination to be solo because of the extremely friendly locals. Easy to make friends. I was there in spring but I’d recommend any time of year, as they have a mild climate.

Mostly safe for women but not recommended for solo walking at night. So many things to explore from rivers, to breweries, to mountain tops. Pre COVID there was more live music and events. Worth looking into what you like before you visit and making sure it’s here.
Posted: March 8, 2024Asheville is amazing. You can roam around the Blue Ridge Mountains, Max Patch, and beautiful walks are also around Montreat College, you can visit 12 Bones Smokehouse for a pulled pork sandwich, River Arts district, breweries, Asheville Art Museum, Biltmore Estate, LaZoom Tours, Farewell Coffee, Liberty Coffee House, Summit Coffee, Early Girl Eatery, musicians playing in the streets, Sunny Point Cafe West Asheville, Harvest Records West Asheville, and much more!
