Activities in the area: MILLS RIVER: Mills River is HOPping with breweries! Sierra Nevada Brewery (8 min drive) is one of our favorite places. Anyone that comes to visit, it’s a must.

ASHEVILLE: 20-30 minute drive gets you to Asheville. You can spend and entire day checking out the downtown. Asheville is a foodie town and has everything you could imagine! Most locations offer plant-based and gluten free options. One of our favorite spots is Sunny Point Cafe in West Asheville. \*Hole donuts was recently rated the second best donut shop in the nation! If you are into breweries, almost all of them have outdoor seating and food trucks as well as outdoor games for kids. On a pretty day, New Belgium for example is perfect for a family stop. For indoor activities: Asheville Science Museum The Biltmore Asheville trampoline center The Grove Park Inn \* There are TONS of breweries in the area but Burial Forestry Camp stands our as one of our favorites. Most all breweries in the area have food trucks on site and offer NA options.

While the kids are still on a sugar high, grab some sandwiches to-go from Food Matters Cafe and head into Pisgah Forest to check out all our beautiful waterfalls.
