The surroundings of Alluring View B&B are a true nature lover’s paradise!  Summers are very green with all types of huge trees, and many colorful wildflowers dotting the landscape.  Fall foliage is extremely colorful and attracts many visitors from nearby cities and all over the country. This area gets painted with bright reds, burgundies, oranges and yellows.  Winter brings snow and the possibilities of skiing, snow-boarding, ice skating and snow-tubing.

While staying at Alluring View you will not be bored.  There are endless activities, fairs, festivals, music concerts, and outdoor fun to keep you as busy as you want to be.  Of course, you can always decide just to sit back and relax on the deck or by the firepit.  From the property you can watch the sun rise to the east, and set to the west, every day [weather permitting].  It is truly a spectacular and colorful sight to behold!

The Blue Ridge Mountains are breathtaking, and there are many ways to enjoy mother nature in the High Country of North Carolina.  Below is a list of some of the most popular places with a link to more info when available.
