Approximately an hour away from the tiny house. Hot tubs filled with mineral water pumped in from local springs. Unique experience that’s well worth it – if you don’t mind a “down home” version of a spa.

Hikes
During winter, be sure to check if the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed at high elevations. (National Park System gov website has a Plan Your Visit/Road Closures section).
Short - but a bit steep - hike. 360 degree view. Excellent at sunset. Longer hikes, along the Blue Ridge Parkway, are nearby.

Catawba Falls
530 Warren Mountain DrFairly easy hike, moderate length (1.5 miles one-way) to magnificent falls.
Stunning views. Well worth the hour drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the trail head. Moderate to strenuous at times. Hike for as long as you want, but two miles round-trip for the best views.

If you visit on a clear day, it will be one of the most memorable moments of your life. The summit trails have recently changed, so some of the online reports may be out-dated. Also, check for news about closures because restrictions of the area have recently taken effect due to misuse and abuse of the area.
Most of the trails are easy enough for all levels, with a few steep spots. Access to the Appalachian Trail for longer hikes. Make sure you write down directions before you go because cell service is spotty. At least an hour drive from Asheville: Take I-40 West about 40 miles to exit 7 (Harmon's Den). Take a right on Cold Springs Road, and the road almost immediately becomes gravel. The sometimes bumpy road climbs steadily but never steeply 6.2 miles to SR-1182 (Max Patch Road). 4WD recommended in winter and wet weather. Turn left and drive 1.5 miles to the Max Patch parking area on the right.

Many choices of trails. I recommend studying a trail map before driving out there because it's easy to get confused about directions since it's such a large park.
