Asheville Holidays
Asheville is the gateway to the Appalachian Mountains. The city earned a reputation as a health resort in the 1890s and by the 1920s, Asheville became the mountain retreat for the rich and famous of the time, including Thomas Edison, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Henry Ford to name but a few.
Nowadays this thriving mountain city features a fascinating downtown with a variety of architectural styles, a burgeoning arts-scene with lots of galleries, and of course the ever-present, awe-inspiring scenery of the Appalachians.
