Travel & Stay
Travel Note
Direction to travel to our venue:
Some tips: If you’re coming from the east (Asheville), take the route through Bryson City rather than Franklin – even if your GPS tells you otherwise. It’s an easier drive. If you’re coming from the South (Atlanta), take the route through Murphy rather than Franklin for the same reason. If you’re coming from the west, try to avoid tail of the dragon. Wear good shoes – you’ll be in the mountains.
Flight
Asheville Regional Airport
There are several airports in NC, but this is the closest driving distance if you are flying into NC. This airport accommodates many of our out of town guests including Atlanta, Austin, Minneapolis, New York, and more!
