Girls' 3-Day Weekend Summer Getaway in Asheville, NC

Take a few days with the girls to get away from it all. There's plenty to do in Asheville, North Carolina, and this itinerary shows you how to do it without breaking the bank!

Asheville, NC is fast becoming one of the most popular vacation destinations on the East Coast. There are a lot of good reasons for this popularity. We have a gorgeous landscape, surrounded by the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains. Our local economy is strong, bustling and innovative, with amazing local arts offerings and incredible food. The weather is agreeable almost all year round - we have the warm climate the south is known for, but without the intensity of heat and humidity that plagues the lowlands. We are Beer City USA, with over 20 local breweries and beer-related activities. Asheville is one of the most tolerant cities in the country for the LGBT community. We also have a vibrant and eclectic music scene, and there's hardly a night during the summer when there's not three or four good musical acts to choose from around town. And last, but certainly not least, Asheville is one of the friendliest vacation destinations for dog owners anywhere in the world!

This itinerary is written especially for groups of girlfriends of any age. Take a few days to get away from it all and experience the best that Asheville has to offer in shopping, art, food, beer and culture! Enjoy an evening at one of the top-rated spas in the country, a drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway, a self-guided tour of the River Arts District, and a downtown pub crawl, all on a budget. You're going to love it here so much, you might just decide to stay forever! (It's certainly been known to happen.)
