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.
