10 Classic All-American Hotels Perfect for a Summer Vacation

"Set against the Blue Ridge Mountains and established in 1878 as a Relais & Châteaux property, this luxurious mountain retreat provides easy access to outdoor summer adventures like ziplining, fly fishing, and hiking to waterfalls, along with historical walking tours and scenic drives. I appreciated the variety of accommodations — spacious cottages, multi-room historic mountain homes with wrap-around porches, and traditional suites with views — as well as the resort's award-winning farm-to-table dining, 18-hole golf course, and outdoor mineral pools and whirlpools." - Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova Dobrina Zhekova is a writer with over a decade of editorial experience in Europe and the U.S. She covers luxury travel, art, architecture, and design.
