One of the most popular retirement destinations in the United States is the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, which includes the breathtaking vistas of the Blue Ridge, Great Smokies, and Black Mountain ranges. One of the nations most popular travel destinations, many visitors fell in love and stayed...while others vowed to come back.

In addition to outdoor activities, and abundant recreational opportunities - from mountain climbing to whitewater rafting - the cultural attractions have recently caught up as well. Led by the city of Asheville, the region offers a sophisticated arts and restaurant scene as well as serving as the center of traditional mountain culture such as bluegrass music, clog dancing, and the unique crafts that have thrived as throwbacks to the regions historic roots.

Other major natural attractions include the Appalachian Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway, both of which pass right through the mountains. The unique character of the Western North Carolina mountains is such that Congress has even designated them a National Heritage Area, and the region is now officially recognized as the  Blue Ridge National Heritage Area.

Asheville is also home to the Biltmore Estate, built by George Washington Vanderbilt in 1895. It remains to this day the largest private home ever built in America. The house and its magnificent land holdings and gardens are open to the public, and tours of the house and grounds are among the most popular attractions of the area.
