Most winters at Inn on Main Street in Weaverville, we get maybe five snows all season, and most of them melt within a day. This year, we’ve already had two blizzards, and that’s the second winter in a row we’re so blessed.

It’s all supposed to melt within a couple days, but in the meantime our B&B guests enjoying the unreal beauty of having a North Woods-style foot-deep blanket on fresh power on everything. The electricity in Asheville and surrounding areas is still working, the pipes aren’t freezing and everyone is still enjoying the post-Christmas contentment. It’s a great time to enjoy the majesty of the season.

Christmas and New Year are a happening time here in the mountains. At Inn on Main Street, we typically get an interesting mix of students and educators out on winter break, couples here to visit with children and grandchildren, couples on a romantic getaway, and often just folks wanting to see what sort of holiday events the Asheville area has to offer.
For that last group, we say “plenty.” Here’s a rundown of some of what’s going on. Of course, Inn on Main Street offers discount Biltmore daytime and Candlelight Christmas Evenings tickets. See our specials for details.
In the past, many of our guests enjoy a New Year’s Eve visit to Hot Springs Spa for a soak and maybe a massage. The colder it gets outside, the better those hot tubs feel.
Others make the best of closings on Christmas and New year’s Day to get into the woods for a quiet hike. Our big book of trails can suggest place where winter turns waterfalls into magic chandeliers.
Weaverville in winter is as close as you can get to the bygone feel of Christmas and the holidays as in “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Come enjoy our nostalgic holiday.

And don’t forget, you can buy an Inn on Main Street B&B gift certificate and be able to print it out in minutes. What a great idea for procrastinators

Seems like Christmas has been put on hold here in the mountains and Asheville area in particular. We’ve had three days of bitter cold and a beautiful snowfall at Inn on Main Street. It seems to have scared all our bed and breakfast guests back to Florida. But warmer days are forecast, and we’ve still got a deal on Biltmore Estate candlelight Christmas tours. For $75 per person, our guests get two days of admission to the Estate and all its attractions, plus a reserved evening tour amid the sights and sounds of Christmas entertainment.

Make plans to visit the Grove Park Inn gingerbread house entries during your stay here. The displays are open to the public only on weekdays, so take advantage of our three-night midweek specials.
