"Informative, well-written, and up to date."
"All the info I hoped for and much more!"
"Good resource for getting to know Asheville and surrounding towns."
"Had a great vacation."
"I know that the availability of tourism websites has likely cut into the guidebook market, but personally, I appreciate having everything in one place (and a warning: the Western North Carolina mountains will likely make your cell service unreliable - so don't count on having the internet everywhere you travel!)."
"The big attractions such as Biltmore, the Grove Park Inn, Carl Sandburg Home and the Thomas Wolfe House are all here, but it's the off-the-beaten path things only a local could tell you that make this volume worth buying."
"This is wonderful guide book written by Lee James Pantas, local artist who has lived in Fairview NC, right outside Asheville. Having lived in the area for many years, the guidebook is written from a local point of view."
