I'm just beginning to plan a mountain trip for May. I have discovered the Wolf Laurel Community in Mars Hill, NC in my search for a house. Looks like a cool area and close to the AT for some day hikes. It's also pretty close to Asheville as well. What are some other town/area suggestions? Wanting a nice view, hot tub, and in proximity to a decent town would be nice. Would also be open to something in the Smokies (not Gatlinburg)

My girlfriend's sister just bought a large house in Sugar Mountain, NC. I haven't been yet but it looked like an awesome area that is close in proximity to that area

Just wanted to say I stayed in Wolf Laurel last year. Great views from the cabins up there. Went to Mars Hill once for lunch and to go to the store. Was about 20 minutes from where we stayed. Took trips to Asheville and Johnson City. Had dinner and hit some breweries. Went on a couple of hikes nearby and rafted about 45 minutes north. Great trip.

Damascus VA. Can hike Grayson Highlands area and bike the Virginia Creeper Trail (coast downhill most of the way). Roan Mountain 19E is a cool area as well. Fontana area is one of my favorite areas as well.
