Blue Ridge Vistas vacation rentals in the Blue Ridge Mountains can provide a quiet, reflective retreat or an active
adventure. The East Fork of the French Broad River, as well as the many other North Carolina Transylvania County
Rivers, offer excellent fishing. Canoeing and white water rafting are also available nearby.
Beautiful golf courses, tennis and swimming are also close at hand. Rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and
waterfall appreciation is possible in the immediate vicinity of Blue Ridge Vistas.
We are also near one of the premier Mountain Biking sites in the U.S.. DuPont State Park is host dozens
of beginning to advanced mountain bike trails. In this wonderful park, one can visit unmatched waterfalls on hidden
mountain trails under the canopy of evergreen and deciduous old growth forest. This area is also a meca for bird
watchers. Not to be overlooked is the spectacular shows that the lighting bugs (fire-flies) put on between May
and August.
This NC area is quickly being recognized as an outdoorsman's paradise. The Davidson River offers year round catch
and release fly fishing. This pristine stream courses down through bed rock, resulting in uncharacteristically
crystal clear water. Trout also abound in all forks of the French Broad River. Please note trout caught only two
miles from the front door of Blue Ridge Vistas, on the East Fork of the French Broad.
Note: All fishing in stream
and pond at Blueridge Vistas is catch and release only. |

The beauty of this area is unparalleled. It's
waterfalls, resplendant spring flowers and fall foliage make this area increasingly popular. The movie industry
is only too aware of this fact, filming "Dirty Dancing" at nearby Lake Lure, "Nell" at Lake
Fontana, and "Last of the Mohicans" at Chimney Rock. The Blue Ridge Parkway and the Smokey Mountains
National Park are among of the biggest tourist attractions in the United States. Also important to mention is the
Biltmore Estate, established and maintained by the Vanderbilt family, is a "must-see" for both its historical
and esthetic importance.
The climate around Brevard is moderate, offering four seasons with comparatively cooler Southern summers and very
mild winters. Because of this, the outdoor activities, including golf, are available nearly year-round, with snowfall
generally staying on the ground less than two weeks per year. Sightseeing is a daily occupation for the average
visitor (please note these pictures of East Fork Falls and its fish, taken less than two miles from the driveway
of Blue Ridge Vistas.)
Whitewater rafting and guided mountainclimbing activities are available in nearby Marshall.
