Heading to the beautiful city of Asheville with your significant other? I’ve got the perfect romantic weekend itinerary planned for you. I lived in Asheville for ten years and spent the rest of my life in a small town nearby, so I consider myself an expert of the area. Links and pictures to all my favorite hotels, restaurants, bars and activities are provided as well as insider tips. Pick from laid-back options or fancier spots. This would make an excellent anniversary or birthday gift. Prepare to swoon.

*Please note: Reservations book up fast in Asheville (weeks and many times months in advance) so plan accordingly. I recommend purchasing your itinerary at least a month in advance. While I provide plenty of activities where reservations are not needed, I do include some that require reservations.
