Rooted in Wine is a new wine bar located just 5 minutes from the Cove at Fairview. We were recently able to stop by for a tour. In addition to an impressive selection of wine, Rooted in Wine also features local artwork and local products. Enjoy a glass of wine or a draught beer in the outdoor seating surrounded by beautiful garden areas. We look forward to our next visit to Rooted in Wine!
We often enjoy buying fresh organic produce from a nearby produce stand. Flying Cloud features bouquets of freshly cut flowers as well as a variety of fresh produce. Around the stand is two fields of vegetables and flowers. This produce stand uses the honor system for payment and accepts Venmo, PayPal, cash, or check.
We enjoy ordering food from nearby food trucks. Turgua Brewery and Whistle Hop Brewery frequently feature a food truck and the food is a great complement to a locally brewed beer. Shown here is Sabora Food Truck at Turgua Brewery. Sabora is one of our favorite food trucks. Marietta loves their Traditional Burger.
Another food truck option, El Tapatio, always has great Mexican Food. Farris highly recommends the chicken con queso and Frank enjoys getting the beef tacos.
Happy dining!
This picturesque pond has recently been renovated. We have had the pond drained and sediment removed after the Koi Fish were relocated to another pond, of course.
Now the pond is filled with fresh water and Farris and Danny have been moving Koi Fish back to this pond. You see several Koi now when you feed them!
Also, we have added a beautiful fountain to this pond which is accentuated by spring azaleas.
Re.Imagine is a nearby gallery featuring the works of seven resident artists and over twenty other local artists. We have just toured the gallery for the first time and enjoyed seeing the paintings and mixed media art. Marietta purchased a small walnut bowl and Etta purchased a mixed media woven basket.
Recently we got ten chicks, 5 Barred Rocks and 5 Buff Orpingtons. They will live in a large enclosure in the feed room for about 1 month and then in the smaller coop for a month or so before joining the grown hens in one of the coops. We expect that these chicks will be laying eggs in November.
We will be sure to post more picts of the chicks soon!
Many of our guests enjoy getting a massage during their stay with us. Receive a massage in the comfort of your rental home. Shown here is the latest massage I received. I always feel very relaxed and centered after a massage. Please book thru us to set up an awesome massage!
Shown here is the flatiron sculpture located by the flatiron building in Downtown Asheville. The flatiron building is an historic building named for its wedge shape. Guests to Asheville can enjoy this and 29 other sculptural displays that celebrate the unique history of this town. Print out an urban trail map to enjoy a more structured walking tour.

Recently we rode down the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at several overlooks. The views were majestic. In addition to lots of great views from overlooks, the Parkway also has many hikes of different difficulties. Next trip we hope to go South to hike Graveyard Fields and enjoy some waterfalls. Or maybe we will go North to Mount Mitchell to enjoy the view from the highest peak east of the Mississippi. Choices abound and be sure to stop by the Visitor’s Center for more information. (Parkway has seasonal closures).

Lake Lure Tours offers tours on the hour with seasonal changes in availability. The boat tour was one of our favorite family adventures of this summer. The tour lasts an hour and highlights the rich natural and cultural history of this man-made lake and the surrounding shoreline. I enjoyed seeing landmarks from the movie Dirty Dancing. I was also intrigued to learn how Rumbling Bald (shown in the picture) got its name. Be sure to bring your camera!
