To highlight a few things: the Town of Brevard is 15 minutes away; the Asheville airport is about 50 minutes away; The Biltmore House and the 50 yard-line at Death Valley in Clemson are both an hour away. Heading northwest, you can hit Lake Toxaway, Sapphire, Cashiers, and Highlands within an hour. If you want to venture up to the Blue Ridge Parkway, it is also under an hour and is accessed by taking what’s been described as “the most beautiful winding road in Western North Carolina: Highway 215.
