This friendly, attractive small town with large tree-lined main street is just a few blocks from your AirBNB location - yet it seems like it is a world away.
The trees are lighted year round and become even more beautiful with the annual post-Thanksgiving addition of tremendous holiday decor. (The town has become quite the destination for those wishing to enjoy a multitude of economical, family friendly Christmastime activities.)
Main Street shops and restaurants are busy daily with walking and car traffic. You can park for free immediately in front of most stores with parking in the center median in many places. Additional parking is provided in large lots behind store fronts. The POPS area offers much additional parking and activity space for events and more.

One of the most popular vistas in the USA. If you are in good shape, plan for some uphill (and steps) hiking exercise and walk the trail to the summit for the best views around. If you are in a hurry or just want an easier trip, take the elevators to the top. Some shops are also on site.
The park also has excellent trails to hike the Blue Ridge, enjoy a packed meal, or just sit and rest in the natural beauty.
