Resort Luxury Surrounded by Appalachian Beauty
Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains and named for a Cherokee word meaning "haven of rest," Chetola Resort at Blowing Rock went through incarnations as a family home after the Civil War and a Coca-Cola magnate's estate before transforming into the rustic getaway it is today. Across 87 acres, aquatic enthusiasts glide across lustrous Chetola Lake in canoes or paddleboats or splash through the balmy waters of the indoor pool and jacuzzi, each ensconced within a hefty A-frame roof. Nearby, a minimalist, blond-wood sauna unties muscle knots with waves of warmth, and a spa proffers facials and massages. The recreation center's daily summer activities (available through August 19) gather guests for everything from ping-pong tournaments to roasting s'mores around a bonfire.
At the Chetola Lodge, hillside guest rooms with two queen beds, lakeview guest rooms with king beds, and balcony-appointed deluxe lakeview king guest rooms inspire lodgers to make themselves at home with striated peach and maroon linens, custom Serta mattresses, and rustic wood furniture. Microwaves and refrigerated wet bars in most rooms prevent the need for squirreling astronaut rations into suitcases.
Alternatively, the historic Bob Timberlake Inn boasts artwork, furnishings, and memorabilia paying homage to the eponymous realist artist, a famed North Carolina watercolor painter and home designer. Guests staying at the inn's queen rooms enjoy a queen bed, a two-person whirlpool tub, a flat-screen TV, and a gas fireplace as well as easy access to the Manor House Restaurant. Across three dining rooms and a patio overlooking the lake, the eatery serves up locally inspired entrees such as Carolina quail breast duo and mountain trout. At the adjoining Headwaters Pub, bartenders pour brews, mixed drinks, and specialty coffees.
Blowing Rock: Outdoor Adventure in Blue Ridge Mountains
Bordering the outstretched arm of the Pisgah National Forest and named for a storied rock formation, Blowing Rock forms the home base for summer hikes, fall foliage vigils, and football games at nearby Appalachian State University. An early home to Cherokee and Catawba tribes, the town became a refuge to families during the Civil War, and then to southern residents seeking a high-elevation shortcut to cooler weather. The scenic, serpentine Blue Ridge Parkway curves nearby, climbing undulating Appalachian slopes into the mountain air.
Throughout massive swaths of nearby state parks and national forests, rafts careen over frothing whitewater rapids, bikes surge over famously striking and challenging paths, and fly-fishing lures arc toward trout lurking beneath the surface of natural and stocked lakes. Host to the annual Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show since 1923, the area stables a plethora of dashing steeds, enabling mountainside riding through Moses H. Cone Memorial Park and other verdant environs. Two-legged hoofing along the Linville Falls trails unveils a 90-foot waterfall among jagged, staircase-like rock formations cascading in a soothing susurrus into the Linville Gorge. Those who feel guilty about leaving a pet mannequin at home can appease it with presents culled from Tanger Outlets, a medley of upscale outlets including Banana Republic, Loft, and Polo Ralph Lauren.
