In For A Scare?

Built in 1913, Asheville’s Grove Park Inn has been the subject of quite a few ghost stories. The most famous of which is the story of the “Pink Lady”, a guest who was said to have met her demise within the stone walls of the hotel sometime in the 1920s. Guests today have claimed to see her roaming the halls and waking them in the night. Are you brave enough to see if they were telling the truth?

Enjoy Life’s Finer Things?

In Durham, you’ll find one the more unique stays in all the country. The 21c Museum Hotel resides in the former home of the Durham Bank & Trust.

Walking around the lobby, you’ll find a wide collection of stunning art work, perfect for any art lover in your life.
