Why Not Plan A Winter Getaway?

In the old days, “The Land of the Sky” was known to be a destination only in the spring, summer and fall.  Today, however, with its growing portfolio of year round attractions, world class recreational activities, award winning restaurants, medley of music venues and concentration of breweries and distilleries, Asheville has become a leading destination in the quest to attract and welcome winter visitors as well!

So with the holidays behind us and as winter descends, we thought we would invite you to plan your next visit to Asheville to enjoy its hospitality and to stay with us here at Engadine. And to entice you, we’ve compiled a few reasons to consider planning your trip in January , February and March…

Looking For A Deal?

You can save as much as 40% off of our standard retail rates.  Checkout the “Special Offers” section of our website where you will find information about available discounts and promotions.  There’s just one catch, however.  To take advantage of these offers, you must give us a call or book online at our website as these offers are not available on the online travel sites (Expedia, TripAdvisor, Booking.com, AirBnB, etc.).  When booking, mention that you saw this article and we’ll throw in a bottle of wine or champagne as a welcome amenity to say “thank you” for staying with us!
