In the Central Mountains, you’ll find artsy Asheville where George Washington Vanderbilt constructed his fabulous home, the Biltmore. Enjoy the arts, culture and history of the region in the nearby towns of Hendersonville, Flat Rock, and Brevard while you explore ancient forests and view the splendor of cascading waterfalls. Be sure to visit Mount Mitchell, the highest point on the east coast. Learn more.
