As the heat summer subsides, we usher in what many call our “secret season” . September brings with her crisper air, bluer skies and a less crowded time to visit. While you hear alot about our beautiful Octobers, for many, September is the favorite month in the mountains.

In a typical year, school is back in session and the summer vacation goers have returned home. However, this year, with so many students and teachers taking part in virtual learning, September has become the perfect time for a family road trip to experience this special time. Remote learning in a remote location.

Traveling during Covid has been challenging for some, however more are searching for remote less crowded areas as well as places with amazing outdoor recreation. Well…that’s us.

Traveling to Mitchell County in September is a great way to get away, experience a unique and special family getaway while still being able to maintain work and school virtual commitments. When not online, you can enjoy our crisp mountain air as Mother Nature readies herself for Fall. Enjoy mountain hikes to beautiful waterfalls, a trail ride via horseback through cool mountain trails through creeks, gem mining to find treasure to take home, even raft and tube down the river while the days are still warm. Visit our apple orchards and take home the early September apples. Motorcyle rides down the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway or to the top of Roan Mountain will no doubt be something to tell your friends about.

September is a special season and we wouldn’t want you to miss out on the secret. Book your trip today!
