Take your family to Earthshine Mountain Lodge, where you get to stay in a real country inn with wonderful views of nature, forests and mountains. They offer many activities and even quiet. Earthshine Mountain Lodge is south of Asheville, near Brevard, North Carolina.
Learn how people lived during Pioneer Days by learning about spinning wool, mining for gems, helping in the blacksmith shop and more. You can learn the traditional ways of Native Americans and even get to make pottery the old way. There are group adventures to be had, trails to be hiked, and many memories to be made. This is a real all inclusive family vacation that mom, dad and the kids will love.
There are so many activities to do organized by the Lodge. There are even zip lines and rope courses! There is also a lot to do at nearby attractions such as State and National Parks, Brevard Music Center, Flat Rock Playhouse, Biltmore House and Gardens, historic buildings and the downtown areas, horseback riding and more.
The best thing about staying at a place that offers �all inclusive� vacations is that much of the thought and planning that goes into a vacation is taken care of for you. Someone else is cooking your three all you can eat, healthy meals, a day, (plus snacks) someone else is planning tours, someone else is keeping your children busy so that you can just relax and enjoy the vacation yourself. When you go home your kids will be talking about this place all year, ready to go back again.
As far as parents are concerned the best thing is that it is truly a back to basics place without being uncomfortable. There are no phones, no TVs, and it is unlikely you will feel the need to have any of that since there is so much to do. One caveat from someone who is addicted to her AC. Go during cooler months because there is no AC. Being in the mountains though, it is naturally cooler so if you're in a hot place already like Atlanta for instance, it will feel cooler to you anyway. But, if you are used to air conditioning, go during cooler months, but do go, you won't regret it.
