"In Asheville, gingerbread houses become gingerbread mansions, hotels, forests, and fairytale hideaways as you stroll gingerbread lane with all the entrants from the National Gingerbread House Competition before grabbing a warm beverage (or a signature Gin & Tonic!) on the Sunset Terrace overlooking a pink-hued dusk, then settling into The Great Hall’s rocking chairs to take in the 14-foot-tall, 36-foot-wide fireplaces and the 1913-level history that shows up in vestiges throughout the property, like odes to former tenant, F. Scott Fitzgerlad." - Kayleigh Ruller
