Upcoming events
- If you enjoy experiencing other cultures, I think you'll enjoy attending Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, a celebration of the region's Scottish ancestry. Visitors will enjoy Scottish music and dancing, delicious food, and dress up in costumes. As the name suggests, there will also be field games, so be prepared. The event happens in July in MacRae Meadows.
- Every year in June, Black Mountain hosts the lovely Art in Bloom, an event and fundraiser that has two gallery exhibits, one with live floral arrangements and one with working artists. It's the best of all worlds for those who enjoy all things beautiful.

The place was very clean and spacious! It had everything we needed. Plenty of outdoor seating. The screened in porch and outdoor fans are perfect for the evenings and the hot tub was great!
