What a beautiful area next to Grand Father Mountain. Go to Linville Falls PLEANY OF GOLF OR SKING FOR THE FAMILY. NEXT TOWN OVER ,RIDE THE RAPIDS,GOLD MINE AND VISIT THE MANY FINE ANTIQUE SHOPS AND GIFT SHOPS. PLENTY OF GREAT RESTAURENTS. THE MOUNTAIN TAVERN IN BLOWING ROCK IS GREAT. HOMES ARE A LITTLE EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH THE MONEY.A GREAT AREA TO CUT YOUR OWN CHRISTMAS TREE IN THE WINTER.
