Just got back from Ashville. In the downtown area they have about 8 (or more) micro breweries within a 4 block area (Green Man, Burial, Wicked Weed to name a few). I'm not a big beer drinker, but the breweries are a blast to visit. Good food, beer (obviously), music and atmosphere. If you want bigger craft breweries they have New Belgium (#4) and Sierra Nevada (#3). On top of that its a really cool city in the mountains to visit.
Heading there soon!! Any advice on some airbnb's to stay while they are? We can't figure out whether we want to stay downtown or in a cabin in the woods?
We had one of our all time nicest VRBO's in a cabin in the woods outside of Asheville.
That is until my wife made a fatal mistake. We went out and crated our dog. And to make our dog feel like he was in a safe enclosed space, my wife moved furniture closer to the crate.
After we left and before we returned on one of our first days (I think we were daytripping to a hike and then the Sierra Nevada Brewery tour), our dog needled his nose through the crate and chewed up one of chairs.
We felt terrible and were proactive and let the owner know about what happened, and the 20+ year old beater chair (as we saw it) morphed itself into an "expensive antique," and the owner charged us the security deposit and a great deal more for the replacement chair she bought.
That pretty much put a damper on that vacation, the last one we ever took our dog on.
