Guide to Asheville, NC

With Asheville being only a 4 hour drive from Charleston, we decide to take a few days off to meet our best friend in the mountains for a little girl time! Although we have both been to Asheville before, our trips were only for a few days & there is so much to see, do, eat & drink! So below is a quick roundup of our trip along with the most recommended things to do, places to eat & where to drink. Enjoy!!

Where we stayed:

We chose this airbnb mainly because it had a hot tub & looked super cute, clean & affordable. Only a short 20 minute drive to Asheville, we felt like it was the perfect location for our stay. The Super-host, Chris, was awesome & extremely accommodating. We most definitely recommend staying here!! It has everything you need for a perfect trip to the mountains!
