Our Favorite Spots in Asheville
Sightseeing
This is a great waterfall about 45 mins from the house that is literally right on the side of the road. Be advised, there are several flights of stairs to get down to the pools below the falls but in terms of convenience, this is one of our favorite spots. Along the same road, about 10 mins, before, there is a picnic area, and about 5 mins. beyond, there is a hike, up into the forest.

Food scene
Delicious, downtown dim-sum spot with a mix of asian flavors, cocktails, sake, and sushi specials. A couple of our favorites are the garlic green beans, the five-spice old fashion (for whisky lovers) as well as the ginger lobster. For extra flavor, be sure to ask for a side of their complimentary chilli paste.

By far one of our favorite BBQ places in the country! The NAKID ribs (dry rub w/ salt & pepper) with the cornbread pudding and collard greens may be the most perfect meal of all times! Check the map before you go because there is another location that may be closer to you.

Our favorite ice cream spot in Asheville. Check your map for the location closest to you as there are several options. They have some really unique flavors and multiple, homemade vegan options as well and even gluten-free cones if you are into that sort of a thing. Never a disappointment at The Hop.

Music
One of our favorite music venues in Asheville. They have indoor and outdoor shows, daytime and nights. Nothing fancy, but it's always a good time. We have enjoyed some great funk and bluegrass shows at this popular spot.

Super cool spot in downtown Asheville. Once a mechanic garage, this hip venue hosts live music every night, has an onsite sake distillery and serves snacks till 2am! One of our favs is the Asian Nachos. You can also get their unique sakes, brewed right onsite, to go as well. Take a bottle or two back home to enjoy with friends and family that weren't as lucky as make it to Asheville ;)

Bars
Dive bar alert! If you like a low-key, dark & funky atmosphere, this locals favorite, downtown dive bar may be for you. Some very interesting (and potent) drink specials and a sort of tiki bar meets voodoo lounge vibe. Often playing punk or rock over the speakers. If you are looking for something more upscale, try Monks's rooftop lounge across the street. (Photos shown on AirBNB may not be accurate)
