SAVE this top U.S. family destination...Highlands, North Carolina! 🏞️⁠
⁠
Tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this charming mountain town is packed with adventure, nature, and Southern hospitality, with a touch of luxury.⁠
⁠
🌟 Where to Stay⁠
Sleep in style at Old Edwards Inn or High Hampton for full resort amenities, or book a cozy mountain VRBO with epic views and space for the whole crew.⁠ I suggest a hot tub! Check out High Camp NC for pet-friendly modern cabins minutes from downtown. ⁠
⁠
🍴 Where to Eat⁠
Fuel your days at Blue Bike Cafe, grab a wood-fired pizza at Four65, indulge in BBQ at Highlands Smokehouse, and wrap up with burgers and beers at The Ugly Dog Pub.⁠
⁠
🎣 Where to Play⁠
• Walk behind a waterfall at Dry Falls 💦⁠ ⁠
• Go mining at Jackson Hole Gem Mine 💎⁠
• Ride alpine coasters & snow tubes at Highlands Outpost⁠
• Zipline through the forest at Highlands Aerial Park⁠ ⁠
➡️(ages 8+ · 70-250lbs · 4ft 6in+ )⁠
• Try fly fishing, horseback riding, swimming, golfing, or stroll the botanical gardens 🌿⁠
• For older kids who love hiking, check out Whiteside Mountain, elevation of 4,930 feet, and a 2-mile round trip. ⁠
⁠
📍Don’t miss a day trip to nearby Cashiers or Lake Toxaway!⁠
