These are the benefits of being in the Mountains of Western NC folks.  Since we are so close to the Nantahala and Cherokee National Forests you and your family have access to a whole world of natural sites and activities. 
     During these trying times folks are forced to take a harder look at the money we spend and still maintain a little down time to recharge.  Some suggest Stay-Cations or just getting back to the ways of simpler times, like camping.  Just think how much money it costs to go to a resort and then realizing that you bought into a fantasy of a vacation.  Sure it is nice to be pampered, but ultimately you spend a majority of your time walking point A to Point B just to see a show or a ride, that most of the time mimics nature. 
     This is what I want to offer the vacationer staying with us.  Here is a list of things that are totally free or almost free to do in the near by area.
