We really loved this climbing gym/bike park as a family, but ultimately the price had us cancelling…read moreour membership. Staff is wonderful and helpful. Facilities are amazing! We especially loved the bike park portion for our kid. At $160 a month for a family of 3 (since our 4th was free because she's under 4), we just couldn't afford it anymore. We asked if we could do a bike only membership, and they said they no longer offer them. I was also interested in the different groups they hosted (examples: homeschool groups, etc), but the group membership if I remember correctly was $160 per person just to be apart of groups. I really do wish they had something more all-inclusive at a better price, as well as just better prices all around. We were only able to go about once a week which just didn't make the high price tag worth it. We've been to similar climbing gyms for $100 a month for a family, so this was just too steep for our budget. I've heard from several other local families that have had the same experience. Hoping they make things more cost effective for future families to join!

I had an amazing experience at Namaste in Nature's yoga retreat. The weekend went so smoothly, and…read morewas such a treat to my body, mind, and spirit. Not only did I learn new yoga techniques and meet new, like-minded people, the location of the retreat was perfect! Miranda had clearly thought of each and every detail, allowing us to have some time each day - individual or group - in the surrounding nature - from streams to a hike guided by a local, to the grounds of the retreat center. Namaste in Nature's micro-retreats to guided hikes/yoga experieces are amazing as well. It's a great way to explore an area of WNC in full! Namaste in Nature has already researched the best driving route, the best time to go to avoid crowds on the trail, the hidden "pool" off the trail, the best photo opps, and more. Leave it to the experts at Namaste in Nature to maximize your time in Western North Carolina! You will be delighted!

Yes, my cousin brought cookies, hats and a candle from my mom and sister, and there was singing after yoga. Amy was in charge of our small group and made it a fantastic experience. She took photos of us too and made sure we had the best shots (and accommodated our suggestions). Doing yoga and then staring up into the blue sky surrounded by perfectly colored trees, oh so idyllic. Please, please do this if you were thinking about it. It's well worth your time and money.

The instructors are exceptional--knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping everyone, whether you're a beginner or have been practicing for years. Every class is thoughtfully taught, and each instructor brings their own unique style while creating a welcoming, supportive environment. We love the flow/vinyasa style classes, the playlists are always different and totally rock! The studio is spotless, warm, and inviting. From the moment you walk in, you feel comfortable and part of the community. Over the years, Hot Yoga Asheville has become much more than just a place to practice yoga! It's been an important part of our physical and mental well-being, helping us build strength, flexibility, balance, and resilience. We can't recommend this studio highly enough. If you're looking for an outstanding yoga community with amazing teachers and a beautiful, clean space, Hot Yoga Asheville is truly the best

I felt welcomed from the moment I stepped into the studio, their classes are great, I feel so good afterwards. Classes do get full, so you are packed in one room with lots of people - but all the best studios are like this. I took a wide range of classes within my first month here, and I loved ALL of the different styles. Really enjoyed my time at HYA, and I'm excited to return to this studio when I live in Asheville again! It's also great for my lifestyle as I can pay for classes individually or cancel my membership at any time, so I love the flexibility!

First time visiting Beech Mountain during their summer concert series. Went and seen Lord Huron…read moreperform. We arrived somewhat early and was able to park in the lots at the gate; shuttle options are available as well. I was a little thrown off with how many buildings were closed. One of the breweries, so there was only one with food open and it was super crowded. No other food was accessible without having to wait until the music festival opened up. Once we got inside the venue area, where were a good amount of food trucks lined up. Early is always the key; shorter lines, quicker service. The lawn seating for the concert was first come first serve. You just found a good spot and pitched your chairs. Everyone is pretty nice about not over crowding or moving your items. The speakers from the stage could have been a little better. Sounded like they were going to blow the speakers through some of the songs. Nice chill evening after the rain. Beautiful view behind the stage. Bring a coat cause the mountains are mountains for a reason. Cold and scattered rain

I haven't been skiing in forever, and because our holiday cruise fell through, we chose to do a ski…read moretrip that was within driving distance to Atlanta, GA. Little did I know, or maybe I just forgot, that my girlfriend frequented ski resorts growing up, but hasn't been in over a decade. Having done extensive research, I chose Beech Mountain. This is a resort town and the surrounding areas felt like we weren't in the U.S. The quaint village was so welcoming and relaxing and it was amazing to hear several different languages at this resort - Ukrainian, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and more. We arrived after it had snowed so it was the perfect winter escape. I recommend renting your equipment, if you don't already have yours. We chose White Wolf lodge to rent our skis, poles, and boots and the process was quick and the workers were friendly. Heading to the mountains, we decided to do the twilight and the entire resort and property felt like a real vacation overseas vacation. They had various buildings and houses that operated as standalone restaurants, rental shops, and more. Additionally, we were so excited to be there we didn't realize we got on the wrong lift that took us up to the very top for a black diamond slope. Because I haven't been skiing as much as my girlfriend, I took her lead and followed her, which was a big mistake. Let's just say I have never had more fun then wiping out face first in front of experience skiers and snowboarders. Once we eventually made it down the slope we found a more user friendly slope that we conquered with perfection and then we upgraded to intermediate slope. We continued skiing for several hours and the night time views from the lift were stunning. The pictures here don't begin to reveal how beautiful it was. SIDE NOTE: for any beginning skiers, it is not as intimating as you may think. Just be confident, listen to instructions, and by all means don't be afraid to fall.
