Asheville North Carolina Cabins, Vacation Rentals
and Visitor Guide
Asheville NC is situated on a plateau in the Blue
Ridge Mountains. Resting at an altitude of 2300' feet,
Asheville is nestled between more than 100 mountain peaks above 5,000' feet.
Within view from Asheville is Mt. Mitchell, the highest
point east of the Mississippi River. Asheville ranks 13th in the nation for
art galleries and the influence of so much creative spirit is felt throughout this
remarkable "city in the sky". More than 100
years ago George Vanderbilt chose Asheville
NC as the location for his "American
Castle", believing it was the ideal place. Today nearly one
million annual visitors to the Biltmore in Asheville
apparently agree. Asheville's historic downtown continues to undergo
renovations and additions from outdoor
cafes to cultural centers..
