Local Attractions

It’s a wonderful time to plan that spring, summer, or fall (closed in winter months) trip to the mountains. Hemlock Ridge is conveniently located within a 20-minute drive of all area attractions (gem mining, Grandfather Mtn., ski slopes, Tweetsie RR, Blue Ridge Pkwy). Summer is beautiful at this cabin located at an altitude of over 4000 ft. The wood-burning fireplace in the living area or the rockers on the back porch are perfect places for relaxing after a day of shopping, hiking, etc.
