Trip planning: Asheville again!
This planning post is for a trip to Asheville in October 2017. Hello! After a stationary summer transitioning from the Airstream into our renovated house, we’re looking forward to dusting off the Airstream and hitting the road for a week next month. Our favorite quick and easy destination is Asheville, NC, for the culture, beer,

Five days in Asheville, NC (visit #3)
We visited Asheville in April 2017 while full-timing in the Airstream in Virginia. We’ve written a bunch of Asheville posts; see our Asheville favorites here! We love Asheville. Have I mentioned that? This was our third and longest visit yet, and it has officially become our long weekend getaway destination of choice, for the reasonable driving

36 hours in Asheville, NC (visit #2)–Winter Loop to Austin
We visited Asheville at the very end of 2016, as part of our Winter Loop to Austin. Read about our first visit in early 2016 here, and bazillion visits later you can just skip ahead to our favorites here. We love Asheville! Despite being sick, we still managed to visit a few new breweries (and one old

Asheville, NC Breweries
(We have visited a bunch of other Asheville breweries in subsequent trips, but haven’t added them to this page yet. Check the beer sections on the trip posts here first (our Asheville favorites), then here and here and here and here for more.)

Two days in Asheville, NC–Big Trip #1
We visited Asheville in March 2016 at the start of Big Trip #1. Read about our many other Asheville visits at this link. We started our trip (after a stopover at my sister‘s in Burlington, NC) in Asheville, known as Beer City, USA. There is so much to eat and drink in this hip little

Trip planning take 2: Rockies or Ontario?
I’m still in trip dreaming and planning mode over here in icy Virginia. J and I are tossing around the idea of doing a Big Trip late this summer; in the past we’d done a Big Trip every two years (#1 in 2016, #2 in 2018, #3 in 2020, and #4 in 2022), but this

One night in Black Mountain, NC—Thanksgiving Mountains loop
We visited Black Mountain as part of our Thanksgiving Mountains loop in November 2025. Read about our previous visits in November 2023 here, and May 2024 here. From Hendersonville, it was an easy 35-minute interstate drive through Asheville to Black Mountain. As we passed our familiar Asheville exits, we decided to drop off the trailer

Two nights in Hendersonville, NC—Thanksgiving Mountains loop
We visited Hendersonville as part of our Thanksgiving Mountains loop in November 2025. Hendersonville is only twenty miles from Brevard, our previous stop, and only thirty miles from Asheville. We could have easily visited as a day trip from either of those places, but we are so glad we spent two nights in Hendersonville instead.

Two nights in Brevard, NC—Thanksgiving Mountains loop
We visited Brevard as part of our Thanksgiving Mountains loop in November 2025. Read about our first Brevard visit in May 2025 here. I had one primary goal for our second visit to Brevard: to spot a white squirrel! White squirrels are the mascot of Brevard, and since we didn’t get to see one our

Two nights in Townsend, TN—Thanksgiving Mountains loop
We visited Townsend as part of our Thanksgiving Mountains loop in November 2025. Townsend had been on our radar since we researched a Smokies trip in 2020. Of the Tennessee-side gateway towns to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, it appealed most to us as a base from which to explore the Cades Cove section of
