Weaverville represents another generation, perhaps another century, in its relationship to nearby Asheville. Guests at Weaverville's bed and breakfasts come home from the artsy, engaging activity of Asheville to a more peaceful, reflective era. It's so quiet you can hear the cheering at the Little League games from more than a block away. When it looks like rain, everybody runs out to roll up the car windows. Few bother locking their cars. When the town holds the Fourth of July fireworks show, people pull chairs out to the middle of Main Street to watch it. Traffic can wait an hour. After dinner at the Weaverville Milling Company, North Star Diner, Sunnyside Cafe, Blue Mountain Pizza (in Western North Carolina's oldest commercial building), Mike's Grill, Well-Bred Bakery or Stony Knob Cafe, B&B guests can stroll through Weaverville's galleries and take in some live music. Weaverville bed and breakfast guests often learn more about the town and its residents than they do about people in their own neighborhood. It's a place conducive to meeting new people and chatting. After an exhausting day of touring the Biltmore Estate, exploring Asheville's shops and experiencing the colorful sidewalk performance that is Asheville, it's a pleasant experience for guests at Weaverville bed and breakfasts to kick off their shoes and enjoy a cool drink and a view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
