1. Spend a day at the Biltmore Estate without the big
crowds and get the lowest admission rates of the year through March. Plus save
up to 50% at their hotel, Inn on Biltmore.
2. Save a bundle with winter packages and specials at
hotels, cabins and B&Bs. Save the most by staying on Sunday-Thursday
nights. For Valentine getaways, go the weekend before or after the 14th.
3. Browse hundreds of interesting boutiques and stops in
downtown Asheville and Biltmore Village. It doesn’t cost to look! And many are
still having year-end sales.
4. Ski on Monday-Friday for the best deals. Beech
Mountain has a $99/person "Ski & Stay" package for two nights
lodging in a condo or hotel plus a lift ticket.
5. Soak in the 100-degree mineral waters in the natural Hot Springs
for just $15/person.
6. Take a pub crawl in “Beer City USA” with an amazing
selection of 50+ local brews. Hang out in one of the many coffee shops and wine
bars in downtown Asheville.
7. Enjoy live music at many bars and restaurants. Often,
there is no cover charge, so enjoy for a price of a drink or dinner.
8. See a huge variety of art without paying a museum
admission price at 30 downtown galleries or the artist studios in the River
Arts District. The Folk Art Center has free demonstrations and exhibits.
9. Find some of many waterfalls. Most are free to visit,
including favorites Linville Falls and DuPont State Forest.
10. Hike and see the best vistas of the year since there
are no leaves to block the views. Add cool temperatures and few hikers, and
this may become your favorite time to hike. There are hundreds of free hiking
trails in Pisgah and Nantahala National Forest in lower elevations that receive
little snow.
You'll get the best deals of the year in January-March, since it’s the slowest time of the year for tourism. That also makes it the perfect time for a peaceful, stress-free escape.
