Lunch at Pack’s Tavern

May 21, 2026

Pack’s Tavern is one of our favorite restaurants! This restored tavern is in the Historical Hayes and Hopson Building. It dates back to 1907. Pack’s Tavern showcases the original character of the building.

Shown here is Marietta’s order of Brisket Mac-n-Cheese. This is their #1 Best Seller. Etta loves the Fried Fish and Frank loves the Reuban.

Pack’s Tavern is located in downtown Asheville and is an excellent addition to a day of sightseeing downtown.

New Koi Fish!!

May 11, 2026

The Cove at Fairview is happy to announce the arrival of 20 new Koi Fish. These Koi are different colors – red/white, blue, orange and tricolor. Their fins are standard and butterfly.

Koi are naturally bottom feeders. Once the water temperature warms up a little more, we (and our guests) will train the Koi Fish to come to the surface for a feeding.

New Bench at Koi Pond!

April 30, 2026

New Bench at Koi Pond!

We have a new bench at Koi Pond! Danny and a helper built this sturdy bench. This large bench has seating for 4-5. What a great place to sit and enjoying feeding our Koi Fish or simply to enjoy the relaxing sound of our fountain. This is one of several places on our property to enjoy the peacefulness of nature!

Joe Pye Weed

August 11, 2025

One of our favorite wildflowers is Joe Pye Weed. Shown here is Joe Pye Weed that volunteered in a flower garden at “Our House.” Joe Pye Weed is named for a Native American herbalist. Butterflies enjoy nectar from the flowers of Joe Pye Weed, and we certainly enjoy its beauty.

Terramonga

July 31, 2025

Terramonga (formerly Troyer’s) has amazing deli sandwiches and delicious baked goods. Frank’s favorite is the tasty Reuban and Etta loves the wonderful oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. This family-run business also sells fresh, local vegetables and meats. We recently had an enjoyable family meal with their chicken, squash, and new potatoes. We look forward to many more great meals made with their fresh vegetables and meats!

NC Arboretum!!

July 18, 2025

Today we visited the WNC Arboretum and we enjoyed strolling thru acres of cultivated gardens.

Of particular interest was the Quilt Garden, which showcases plants in a quilt design.

We also were amazed at the Bonsai Exhibition Garden. Shown here are some of our favorites – Gingko, American Hornbeam, and Trident Maple.

We plan on returning for the annual Winter Lights show!

Luella’s Bar-B-Que

July 10, 2025

Named for the pit boss’s Grandmother Lue, Luella’s Bar-B-Que is an awesome stop for BBQ, Ribs and more. Marietta enjoyed the Burnt end Brisket sandwich and Etta enjoyed the Smiling Hara BBQ tempeh sandwich. Frank always enjoys Eastern North Carolina BBQ. Visit Luella’s North Asheville location to dine in or to get catering for a lovely meal in your rental home.

Chicken Garden!!

June 6, 2025

The flower bed next to the chicken coop is now a garden for our hens. All of the plants, Marigolds, Parsley, and Kitchen Sage – are edible to the hens. Whether it is plants or dried mealworms, our hens always enjoy getting a snack. We feed high quality chicken food because a good diet adds nutrients to the tasty chicken eggs.

Trout Lily!!

May 20, 2025

We got lunch from Trout Lily today. Farris got a pimento cheese bacon sandwich cooked by the grill, Frank an excellent burger cooked to order, and Etta a premade container Of Charleston Chicken Sandwich.  We also got smoothies -one mango and mint, one banana and chocolate.  

Trout Lily also feature specialty coffee drinks, handmaid bakery goods and specialty organic products + more! 

Fresh Seafood stand Friday and Sunday (until sold out).

Grey Line Trolley Tours of Asheville!

August 9, 2024

Marietta and Etta spent an afternoon taking a Gray Line Trolley Tours of Asheville with some out of town friends. They enjoyed leaning about the history of Asheville and getting to see many historic buildings. The trolley has 10 optional stops. They stopped at the majestic Grove Park Inn and also got to see amazing art at galleries in the River Arts District. Marietta and Etta highly recommend this Trolley Tour!
