We had a great weekend here for our anniversary and my wifeâs birthday. Got to relax by the little electric fire inside and watch a movie. My wife would go out and bundle up with a blanket and her book in the hammock for a few hours. It was close to Boone and Blowing Rock. We went into town for dinner and to check out some breweries. Also close for hiking at grandfather mountain. We had a great time and are looking forward to coming back again some day!
