The Retreats at Deer Lick Falls
This community has its own waterfall, hiking trails, a community playground, and community pavilions.
While you’re there, grab some delicious food at one of these local spots:

For a nicer dining experience, try High Point. Their menu boasts steak, fish, and pasta dishes.
If you want to truly hang out with the locals, a visit to Hank’s Corner Grill is a must! It’s a sports-bar type atmosphere, but the food is great!
There are several great hiking trails and waterfalls in the area, including Fiery Gizzard and Foster Falls.
A getaway spot that is a bit of a further drive but full of fun things to do is Asheville, North Carolina. Some fun things to do:
Biltmore: Spend the day at Biltmore, taking your time to enjoy the lavish furnishings of the house, the beautiful gardens, and the winery. Take a break at one of their restaurants and browse their gift shops.
Shop: You could easily spend a day exploring downtown Asheville’s hundreds of boutiques, galleries and local stores. Also, head to Asheville Outlets for deals at 70+ national brand stores.
Gardens: The North Carolina Arboretum is a must for plant lovers. They also offer many workshops that your group could attend together. Another great spot is the Botanical Gardens of Asheville with a half-mile walking trail.
Art: Asheville is one of the top cities for art creation in the country. A top spot to see artists at work and find world-class art is the River Arts District.
There are many great hotel options in the area, but if you’re looking to make your trip extra memorable, book a bed and breakfast! Check out this site for some cool options.
It’s no secret that eating in Ashville is half (most?) the fun! There are restaurants for every palette. Here is a guide of several different varieties.
