Snowshoe,WV or Asheville,NC in December??
Dh and I usually go to Pigeon Forge, TN for a winter getaway. We like to rent a cabin in the mountains and just relax in the hot tub. This year, we have decided that we are going to go somewhere different. I'm debating between Snowshoe, WV and Asheville, NC. I've never been to either place. Thoughts? Cabin rental recs? Activities? Restaurants? Any help at all is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks ladies 
Re: Snowshoe,WV or Asheville,NC in December??
I lived there for about 7 years ish. Our families are from there...so is H. I don't know of any cabin rentals here but some things to do:
Biltmore Estate
- They have it all decorated for Christmas. The Inn (hotel) is real warm and cozy that time of year but quite expensive to stay especially during Christmas but there is a new Bohemian hotel just outside that I think a lot of tourists are staying at now.
- Bistro - amazing food.
- Winery - free wine tasting pretty much all the time.
- Carriage Ride - if you're looking for romance.
Blue Ridge Parkway - is a really pretty drive. If it's not snowing, you can drive up to Mt. Mitchell and probably see a light layer of frost on the trees. H and I did our Christmas card photos up there one year.
Downtown - Lots of local restaurants there. We don't eat out much so I can't really recommend one specifically.
If I think of anything else, I'll post more. Having lived in Asheville for so long, it's not really a place that I, myself, would want to visit, but I hear a lot of people love visiting.
If you aren't planning to ski, then I would skip Snowshoe. It's really a ski resort and it's pretty remote. You'd probably do all your eating at the resort (there are several (high priced, mediocre) resort-owned restaurants). If you have interest in skiing, though, it would be a good choice.
Don't know anything about Asheville. Sorry.
