Historic mountain lodge with spa, golf, dining & stunning sunset views



























"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
