Our weekend trip to Black Mountain, NC
An annual getaway to the mountains is a beloved tradition for our family, dating back to our first fall in North Carolina. As Asheville has become more and more popular over the last decade (and more crowded, and more expensive…), we have enjoyed branching out a bit to nearby mountain towns: Highlands in 2021, and last year, Black Mountain! We’ll always remember this trip as our first big adventure as a family of five (John and I to each other all weekend: we’re actually doing this!!), and for that reason and more, it was truly magical. I’d love to tell you about it and share a few photos today!
And friendly PSA: if you’re considering an NC mountains trip this fall, right about now is when we like to book our stay! Things book up quite quickly for peak leaf weekends.
Onward!
Black Mountain is a small mountain town just a hair closer to the Triangle than Asheville (about a 3.5-hour drive for us). We loved that it has its own distinct culture, but is only 15 minutes from downtown Asheville (meaning we could still hit some of our ride or dies). We headed west right after school on Thursday, arriving in time to make a drop at our Airbnb and feed Annie before driving the three minutes into t

History tells the story behind one of Black Mountain's favorite ghost stories
Scarecrows, cornstalks, hay bales and pumpkins huddle on Black Mountain’s street corners, in the Town Square and on front porches and door steps. Fall has arrived, and soon it will be Halloween.
To celebrate the season of ghosts, spirits, and the unexplained, the Swannanoa Valley Museum & History Center will offer Historic Haunted House Walking Tours of downtown Black Mountain on Friday, Oct. 25 and Saturday, Oct. 26.
Each night, tours will start at the museum at 5:30 p.m and leave every half an hour until 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for museum members and $35 for nonmembers, include a light meal, and all proceeds benefit the nonprofit museum. Preregistration via the museum’s website is recommended as there is limited space available on each tour.
The walking tours will take participants into buildings and businesses decorated for the season throughout Black Mountain’s Downtown Historic District, where costumed presenters will tell tales of the town’s haunted history.
A favorite Black Mountain ghost story takes place at a stop on last year’s tour, Inn Around the Corner. One snowy February day two decades ago, a guest—in town to speak to students about black history—checked into the bed-and-break
