Ditch the weekend road trip routine for an even better option for vacationing. Make the most of your trip with a midweek stay. We have everything you need to know about the benefits of midweek travel.  

  • BEAT THE CROWDS 

Chimney Rock and the Blue Ridge Mountains are a top spot for hikers, bikers, and all sorts of outdoor enthusiasts. Skip the crowds when you book a midweek vacation. Imagine having the trail to yourself or casting a line on the glass-like Lake Lure. The hotels are quieter, the traffic is gone, and the stillness of the mountains allows you to unwind completely. Escape the hustle and bustle of the crowds when you plan your next vacation! 

  • SAVE ON YOUR MIDWEEK STAY 

Typically speaking, rates for hotels and attractions are lower during the week. Bed and breakfasts and boutique hotels usually have lower occupancy during the week, allowing them to create special offers for their midweek guests. Make your dollar go a little further this vacation. Save your money for all of the great things you’ll enjoy in Western North Carolina! 

  • CASH IN YOUR UNUSED PTO DAYS 

Life isn’t about all work and no play. Cash in your unused PTO days for a fantastic midweek vacation! It’s essential to take time for yourself. Indulge in a spa day, taste the local cuisine, relax in a hammock riverside, enjoy a fantastic winery to yourself, or simply explore the great outdoors—you’ve earned it.
