THE FUN STARTS HERE

Things to do during your stay

When you stay at the Blue Ridge Boutique Hotel, you’re staying within mere miles of the best entertainment in WNC.

Art galleries, hiking trails, beautiful vistas on the Blue Ridge Parkway, salon facilities at the Three Peaks Enrichment Center, live events and festivals in Spruce Pine, and conveniently located halfway between Asheville and Boone, NC…adventure is everywhere!

And we’re not just here to make sure your nights are comfortable — we’re here to help you plan some memorable days, too.

Three Peaks Enrichment Center

The Three Peaks Enrichment Center is set to become a vibrant center of activity in downtown Spruce Pine.

Housing Mayland Community College’s Cosmetology Program (and soon, the Massage Therapy program), the Enrichment Center will offer Mayland cosmetology students a professional environment in which to learn their art and provide customers with top-level spa services. You can book services here. Coming soon: 2,000 seat event space that will provide a home for trade shows, entertainment, and even an indoor ice rink for the holiday season!
