It's not very often that I get to go shopping in a store that's been opening it's doors…read morecontinuously for 124 years, especially one that looks pretty much the same as it did in 1899 or as it did when was relocated in 1913 which was owned and operated by the same family until 2010. There was a short time that the store was closed in 2010 after the passing of the last remaining original family proprietor until the present owners reopened the doors in 2011 but that's like splitting hairs. Believe it or not they still carries staples like bread, butter and milk, but also other essential items for mountain life like local vegetables, jams, and honey to rakes, paint, plumbing and things that many people have never seen. The old original scales and carts can still be found scattered around the store amongst so many other things from the past that would be nearly impossible to find these days even if you have an Amazon Prime account. Although there has been some technology installed, the old cash register from 1913 still sits close by and is still operational if there is ever a need. So while Pace General still has thousands of traditional and contemporary items for sale, it's also a museum of mountain memories and memorabilia that will carry on this family legacy. If you really want a history lesson on the area spend a few hours here then drive around the area and see what living history looks like...

We stumbled upon this creamery while driving through Hendersonville. Actually on our way to…read moredowntown Hendersonville. Of course because we love ice cream we had to try it!! We were NOT DISAPPOINTED in the least. Ice cream is made daily, in fact while we were there it was being made! The selection of flavors were good, definitely not 31 flavors which was just fine bc the flavors offered covered all one needs. For the price, OMGosh the serving size is OUTSTANDING (single serving in the cup)!!! We were in ice cream heaven. We thought for the price of a sundae it was a bargain especially the size of it (I took pics of some from a couple ladies who bought one). The young gals were very friendly with excellent customer service - Cassie especially. The taste was delicious and very creamy packed with flavor. They also make mini donuts which goes in one of the sundaes they offer but I was also told during Apple season, they are Apple flavored. Definitely already planning a return visit in October. Also plenty of space to eat inside and out on the patio. They do have a drive through too and ample parking behind the shop.

We made our reservation more than two months in advance to celebrate our wedding elopement day, so…read morewe were excited for the experience. We arrived right at our reservation time, but were disappointed that we weren't seated at either of the two tables with the best view. Meanwhile, other couples who arrived later were seated at those premium tables. The restaurant serves hors d'oeuvres in the entry of the restaurant (inside the Inn) before dinner and gives guests the option to enjoy them before being seated. We weren't aware of this until we arrived, so the process felt a bit confusing and chose not to. For a fine dining restaurant, the food was average. My husband's steak was overcooked even though he ordered it medium rare, and the pasta dish looked and tasted like something we could have made at home. The cocktail selection was also fairly standard, but good. The highlights of the meal were the veal bourguignonne's carrots and the apple streusel dessert, which was the best course of the evening. The view and ambiance were breathtaking and easily deserve 5 stars. Unfortunately, the seating experience and food didn't live up to the setting, especially for such an important celebration.

One steak which was given to my friend I tasted and had to spit it out it tasted rancid. The rest of the food was almost tasteless with the exception of the desserts. The waitress was wonderful and apologetic she replaced the steak dinners with the trout dinners however we had to wait an exceptionally long period of time for them and almost left before they arrived. They comped us $30 per dinner out of the prefix amount of $95. I will not be returning here nor will I recommend this restaurant again.

When the weather is in the 90's it doesn't matter if you're on the beach or in the mountains the…read morebest way to lower your core temperature is to indulge in some ice cold creamy ice cream and that was definitely my plan when I whipped into this little snack bar - ice cream was my only agenda today but there are plenty of other offerings if you looking for something more savory. This little independently owned shop has limited hours on limited days of the week, there nothing like an owner who opens when he wants to and serves up a great selection of novelties, this almost always ensure you'll get quality products and it also means you'll probably have to pay up a little although I found the moderate pricing to be reasonable. The menus are posted everywhere once you climb the flight of stairs to the porch level - like more traditional ice cream stands there's a ordering window and a pickup window this to me signifies this place can get pretty busy although today that wasn't the case, of course I arrived a few minutes after opening. This place seems to offer unlimited flavors of ice cream and as I reviewed all the postings the only distraction was a couple of teenage boys seating on the bench beside the railing - one was crunching on his cup full of ice while the other was sucking on lemons he retrieved from his empty cup of lemonade, both were a little annoying but I was here for ice cream so it's wasn't hard to ignore the ill-mannered children although they arrived here in a early 2000 mini truck that hadn't seen a car wash in months. We found a picnic table under a big oak tree that provided shade to enjoy our treat and far enough away from the ice cruncher and lemon sucker to relax and suck down our shakes, I was bound and determined to do a little straw sucking to get some payback but unfortunately the two departed before I got to the bottom of my cup. We ordered a Banana and North Carolina Peach Shake in separate cups of course the smooth ice cream was filled with freshly sliced bananas and delicious peaches that kept clogging up the straws (that's a great sign for me it reminded me of my childhood when you had to pull the straw and do a reverse slurp to clean the fruit from within). The owners were friendly but focused and the little windows only provided a small portal to the inside which I thought was rather comical - a hand appeared to take the payment then it appeared again to hand over the product. It was a great experience over-all and the shakes were delicious, this is definitely a gem in the mountain forrest and deserves a visit again and again when in the area...
