Smarties, we have the perfect winter getaway for you! As you know, the NC mountains have gotten loads of snow so far this winter, so head on up to Smarty Favorite Blowing Rock’s Chetola Resort for a weekend of family {snow} fun!
Tucked in the heart of Blowing Rock, Chetola Resort sits on 78 glorious acres and features Chetola Lodge, the Bob Timberlake Inn at Chetola Resort and Chetola condominiums ranging from one to four bedrooms. Chetola is the first Orvis-endorsed Fly Fishing Lodge in North Carolina. The resort is complete with two restaurants, a full-service spa, fitness center, indoor pool, kids activities, yoga, and so much more.
During your stay, take advantage of on-site features like the heated indoor swimming pool, the full-service spa and the fitness center – all are safely open and waiting for you! Dining options include Timberlake’s Restaurant & Pub (delicious!) and we highly recommend Family Style Meals to Go, delivered right to your condo. Timberlake’s Breakfast is one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had – highly recommend. Smarty tip: Make your dining reservations well in advance of your trip.
Chetola Resort is just five minutes from Appalachian Ski Mountain, with ski, snowboarding, ice skating and more. Hawksnest Snow Tubing in Seven Devil Hills is just a 30-minute drive ~ snow fun for the entire fam! Smarty Tip #2: Make your ski/tubing reservations well in advance, these sell out the week before, due to limited reservations.
Chetola hosts “Bonfire + S’mores” every Friday and Saturday night in the winter. The bonfires are hosted at their fire pit right next to the lake, often with live music happening up in the restaurants. This is the perfect ending of your day, après ski – warm up by the fire and let the kids roast their marshmallows.
Chetola offers special packages for any trip you can imagine, from girls weekends, anniversary weekends to family trips and more. Make your reservations here.
