Asheville draws visitors from across the country for its mountains, restaurants, arts, music and unmistakable Western North Carolina character. But visiting Asheville doesn’t necessarily mean you have to stay in the middle of Asheville. Just north of the city, Woodfin offers visitors another option—a convenient home base close to Asheville while providing easy access to the French Broad River, the Blue Ridge Mountains and destinations throughout Western North Carolina.
Close to Asheville, Connected to Western North Carolina
One of Woodfin’s biggest advantages is location.
Woodfin sits immediately north of Asheville, making it convenient for visitors who want to explore the city without making downtown the center of their entire trip. From Woodfin, it’s easy to head south into Asheville or travel north toward Weaverville and the mountain communities beyond.
That makes Woodfin especially appealing for travelers whose plans include more than one destination. Spend part of the day exploring Asheville, head into the mountains the next, and return to a place that keeps you connected to both.
More Than a Place to Sleep
Where you stay can change the way you experience an area.
Choosing accommodations outside the busiest visitor districts can introduce you to neighborhoods, businesses and places you might otherwise never discover.
Woodfin has its own growing collection of restaurants, coffee shops, shops and services. Staying nearby gives visitors an opportunity to experience some of those local businesses while still having Asheville only minutes away. It’s a different way to experience the area—less about staying inside a tourism district and more about getting to know the larger community.
The French Broad River Is Right Here
The French Broad River is an important part of Woodfin’s identity and one of the natural features that makes this part of Western North Carolina special.
For visitors interested in outdoor recreation, the river and surrounding area add another dimension to a trip. Combined with nearby parks, mountain destinations and the outdoor opportunities found throughout the region, Woodfin can be a practical starting point for exploring beyond downtown Asheville.
And after a day outside, Asheville’s restaurants, breweries, entertainment and cultural attractions remain close by.
A Home Base for Exploring Western North Carolina
One of the best things about visiting the Asheville area is how much there is to experience beyond any single community.
Downtown Asheville may be on the itinerary, but so might the Blue Ridge Parkway, nearby mountain towns, hiking trails, scenic drives, local shops and restaurants.
Staying in Woodfin puts visitors in a central location for experiencing more of the region.
Instead of thinking of Woodfin simply as a community north of Asheville, think of it as a gateway between Asheville and the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Discover Woodfin While You’re Here
Visitors staying in or near Woodfin don’t have to travel far to find local businesses.
The Woodfin Business Directory provides an easy way to discover places to eat, shop and find services throughout the community. It’s also a good way to find businesses you may never encounter if your entire visit is spent following the usual tourist routes.
So, when planning your next trip to the Asheville area, expand the map a little.
Stay near Asheville. Explore Western North Carolina. And discover Woodfin along the way.
