B & B at Ponder Cove

Surrounding Area

Western North Carolina is one of America's best kept secrets. The splendor of the mountains frames one our most sophisticated cities, Asheville. Home of the Biltmore Estate, America's largest home is a premier example of times gone by and how the famous Vanderbilts lived a grand life against this magnificent landscape. Much as you can still do today by enjoying the upscale shops, galleries and restaurants then drive into the mountains for 4-star golf, skiing, hiking the Appalacian trail or just being still and enjoying the gifts of nature.
