A favorite local day trip of our family and many of our guests.

Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee is worth more than a quick stop on your way into the Smokies.

Behind the visitor center is the Mountain Farm Museum, where you can walk among old farm buildings that were moved here from different areas of the park.

The large fields nearby are also a common place to see elk, especially early in the morning and later in the evening.

And if you feel like taking a walk, the easy Oconaluftee River Trail begins here and follows the river toward the end of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

You can find more about Oconaluftee Visitor Center and what to see around it on our website, Blue Ridge Mountain Life.

This week- come visit us and Dillsboro.

A note from the Chamber ...

The Jackson County Chamber of Commerce invites the community to participate in Dillsboro Friends Night Out, Thursday, April 30, a special evening dedicated to supporting local businesses and celebrating the charm and creativity of downtown Dillsboro.

From 2 to 8 p.m., shoppers are encouraged to visit Dillsboro Friends Night Out businesses, make purchases, and bring their receipts to Chamber staff (who will be set up at Enloe House and W**e Bar that evening) for a chance to win exciting prizes.

Shoppers who spend at least $25 during the event will be eligible to receive an exclusive Dillsboro tote bag. In addition, for every $25 spent at Dillsboro businesses, participants will receive one entry into the drawing for the “Frenzy,” a prize package totaling $325 in gift cards from local Chamber member businesses. The more you shop, the more chances you have to win.

Dillsboro Friends Night Out is designed to bring the community together while encouraging residents and visitors to explore the town’s unique shops, galleries, restaurants, and artisan businesses, discover new favorites, and enjoy an evening of community connection.

“Friends Night Out is one of those events that reminds us why Jackson County is so special,” said Todd Vinyard, Executive Director of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. “Every purchase helps strengthen a local business, support a neighbor, and keep our community thriving. We’re excited to celebrate the people and places that make Dillsboro such a welcoming and vibrant destination.”

The Chamber extends special thanks to the event’s sponsor, Patricia Bryson-Wink State Farm, for supporting this initiative and helping strengthen the local business community.

Our rental house has a new refrigerator! 🙌
We are so pleased with this upgrade. Plenty of space for weekly groceries and cookout platters.
The *other refrigerator was moved to the basement for overflow items or easy access to the outside fire pit.

We know you’ll like the new design, top refrigerator and bottom freezer- so convenient.

Come stay with us and check it out in person.

The mountain here shows spring in many ways. The woods are dotted with dogwoods this time of year. The NC state flower is a welcome sight.
