The foyer area leading to the upper level is arranged with period pieces and provides a small respite from the goings-on of the day.

Billed as a place where “altitude affects attitude,” Asheville is located in the French Broad River Valley and surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Moun-tains. Everyone in and around Asheville knows the best part of living here is the thrill that hits you when-ever you realize there’s a mountain outside your win-dow. For well over a century, the local topography has influenced everything from arts and crafts to city development to outdoor activities.

Asheville is the largest city in Western North Carolina but surrounding towns in Buncombe County offer small town flair and varied amenities. Population is approximately 215,000 in the county. The four-season temperate climate with average snowfall of only 13 inches makes year-round living easy. Average elevation is 2,165 feet above sea level with surrounding moun-tain elevations of up to 6,685 feet with Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. Because of this broad range of elevations and corresponding climates and plant growth, the area is one of the most biodiverse in the United States and the world.

Stories about Asheville’s quality of life have become a staple of national media outlets. In 2018, the city was named one of the “18 Top Destinations for 2018” by Forbes Magazine. In 2018, National Geographic named Asheville one of the “Best US Small Cities for 2018.” And in 2017 Lonely Planet pegged Asheville as the “Best Destination in the US.”
