There’s something magical about winter in North Carolina’s mountains — the crisp air, the snow-dusted trees, and the quiet moments that feel like they’re yours alone. Wildberry Lodge is your cozy home away from home, offering the perfect spot to unwind, explore, and savor the season with your favorite person.

Creating that fairytale escape for two is easier than you think, And we’ve got a few ideas to get you started. So grab a pen and a notepad, and let’s get to it!

Choose Your Favorite Room

The first step to an idyllic winter getaway for couples is selecting the perfect room. After all, you want your own cozy corner for two for those quiet moments together. Every room at our lodge is designed with comfort and romance in mind. However, you’ll want a room that matches your preferences and exceeds your expectations.

Choose a space with a private balcony to take in the stunning mountain views and watch the morning fog roll down the mountainside. Or snag a room with a cozy fireplace to warm up after a day in the snow. Plush linens, private balconies or decks, and thoughtful touches create a haven where you can relax, reconnect, and enjoy time together.

Explore Scenic Winter Trails

A romantic winter getaway isn’t complete without exploring the natural beauty that surrounds you. North Carolina is home to breathtaking winter hiking trails, many of which transform into magical landscapes during the colder months. And that’s not even mentioning that you’ll find five miles of private on-site hiking trails to explore, too. So, bundle up and discover the serenity of snow-dusted paths, majestic mountain views, and towering evergreens.

While considering a hike, don’t miss the chance to embark on a winter waterfall hike. Trails like Linville Falls, Triple Falls, or Catawba Falls offer stunning views of cascading water framed by frost-kissed scenery. These peaceful hikes are perfect for hand-in-hand moments and capturing memories with your partner.

Indulge in Local Cuisine

Winter romance comes alive when you savor the flavors of the season. Start your day with a hearty, homemade breakfast at Wildberry Lodge, featuring fresh ingredients and a warm and hearty serving of North Carolina hospitality. Then, venture out to explore the local culinary scene.

Cozy up with a glass of locally crafted cider or beer at one of the area’s breweries or cideries. Asheville’s vibrant dining options offer everything from farm-to-table elegance to Southern comfort classics. Share a romantic meal at a locally-owned restaurant, like the popular Southpaw AVL, and toast to your unforgettable escape.
