Vilas NC
Vilas NC is a charming town that is nestled between two large tourist destinations. Boone and Banner Elk are both nearby; however, if you are looking for a private getaway during the holidays, Vilas NC is the perfect place! Vilas is a quaint, private town offering lovely mountain culture without all the hustle and bustle of some of the other tourist attractions. It is conveniently located within the Blue Ridge Mountains and displays lovely panoramic views.

In addition to hay rides and tree-choosing, there are several attractions to enjoy on your visit to Vilas NC. Moretz’s Mountain Apples is an apple orchard in Vilas where visitors can make an appointment to stop by and explore the 90 varieties of mountain apples the farm grows. Also enjoyable is a visit to the Shady Grove Gardens and Nursery in Vilas NC. Visitors can enjoy exploring the gardens and even picking their own flowers on Friday afternoons. Shady Grove also offers wedding package options for brides on location in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

For those more sports-oriented in the family, Vilas NC offers great golfing in a resort setting at the Willow Valley Resort. The Willow Valley Golf Course is open April through October annually for visitors and residents to enjoy during the mild summer months of Vilas NC. In addition to the 9-hole golf course, the Willow Valley Resort offers lodging in one of its many cabins as well as amenities including tennis courts, a swimming pool complete with Jacuzzis, and grilling locations throughout the property.

In addition to the resort, Vilas NC also has several lovely bed and breakfasts to stay in while spending time choosing your Christmas tree. The Lazy Bear Lodge and the Baird House are two popular Vilas bed and breakfast locations in the Vilas area. The Lazy Bear Lodge is a two-story log cabin created to be a bed and breakfast for the High Country. In addition to five guest rooms, the Lazy Bear Lodge also has its own restaurant open to guests on Saturday nights and complete spa services available for the weary traveler in search of relaxation. The Baird House is an historic colonial farmhouse that has been restored to be a peaceful bed and breakfast located conveniently close to Vilas NC. The Baird House Inn is a favorite to honeymooners and families alike with 12 acres, a trout stocked pond, and even a family dog, Gabby, as a host.
