Inn at a Glance: 1898 Waverly Inn Owners Mike and Tracey Burnette cherish the history and charm of the area, which is obvious when you take a look at 1898 Waverly Inn. The oldest surviving inn in Hendersonville, it’s full of nods to the past from some of the rooms’ clawfoot tubs to the four-poster beds. The free WiFi shows the warm welcome that modern amenities have been getting since the inn adopted electricity all the way back in 1903. Summer package included with one option, features a dining credit at the nearby pub, beer flight at the brewery, and a $25 towards Waverly Inn merchandise goods and services (not valid for accommodations). Free farm-to-table breakfast: Breakfast is included in all stays, with specialties that include banana pecan French toast bake, pimento cheese grit bowl, and artisanal, locally-made jams. Pamper yourself with a massage or a reflexology treatment at Le Petite Spa. Sample local brews at the Southern Appalachian Brewery, located just a five-minute walk from the inn. Distance to Asheville: 26 miles (30 min. drive) Asheville, North Carolina: Artsy Town in the Blue Ridge Mountains Downtown Asheville is an eclectic mix of boutiques, restaurants, and art galleries housed in buildings designed in art-deco, Beaux-Arts, and neoclassical styles. The city’s premier attraction is Biltmore, billed as the largest home in the United States. You can take a self-guided tour of the 250-room chateau, which was built for steamboat-and-railroad tycoon George Vanderbilt in 1895. Be sure to visit the gardens designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted—they’re in full bloom in early spring. While you’re in the area, take one of the most scenic drives in the country: the Blue Ridge Parkway. The 469-mile highway winds through the Blue Ridge Mountains. Stretch your legs on a hike up to the panoramic lookout at Looking Glass Rock in Pisgah National Forest, or amble along a portion of the Appalachian Trail; the famed footpath goes past Asheville on its 2,180-mile journey from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia.

One $85 million renovation later, the resort is bigger and better than ever. Beyond its 3.5 miles of beaches, the biggest on-site gem is its multitiered poolscape, which features an adults-only infinity pool with sweeping ocean views, a massive family-friendly pool and splash park, two hot tubs, and three fire pits. Luxurious guest rooms feature Serta pillow-top mattresses, high-definition TVs, and ocean views from furnished private balconies or patios. Nine on-site restaurants such as a pizzeria, a French-style market, an oceanside cafe, and other fine-dining options strive to satisfy every palate Get pampered: The full-service spa and salon uses products that are free of harmful chemicals and artificial ingredients. Two championship golf courses helped the resort earn a spot on Condé Nast Traveler’s Top Golf Resorts in the World list in 2012. Amelia Island, Florida: Popular Seaside Island with 13 Miles of Pristine Beach Amelia Island—a barrier island about 35 miles northeast of Jacksonville—has consistently been ranked among the best islands in the United States by Condé Nast Traveler. At just 2 miles wide and 13 miles long, the secluded island offers a string of pristine beaches. Main Beach has sand volleyball courts, and Peters Point is well suited for family picnics. Then there’s Seaside Park, where you can park your car on the beach. Situated on the northeast corner of the island, Fernandina Beach is a Victorian seaport village filled with eclectic shops and restaurants.
