Our mountain towns are more than the usual. From Little Switzerland to Bakersville, Loafer's Glory to Spruce Pine...the mountain towns you'll find here are different from the rest.

Our people, our places, our heritage are straight from-the-roots-to-the-heart real. From apple orchards, to mountain music, from arts and crafts to mountain gems, our mountain towns will fill your stay with real mountain experiences. So come stay awhile and discover the treasures that make us more than just another mountain town.

Come visit where "The Good Ol' Days" got its name and "Home Sweet Home" truly is...

We're for real!
