Holiday Decorations

The hotel will be aglow with twinkling lights, beautifully decorated Christmas trees, and the irresistible aroma of hot chocolate and gingerbread cookies. The spirit of the season will fill every corner, creating the perfect backdrop for cherished holiday memories. As part of our annual tradition, the Holiday Parking Program will continue, with a portion of December's parking proceeds supporting Western North Carolina charities dedicated to relief efforts.

Gingerbread Spirit

While our traditional National Gingerbread House display will be on pause this year, the spirit of the season remains strong. A select number of gingerbread houses will be showcased at the following local businesses and here at the resort, keeping the tradition alive in a new way.
