I love the idea of Montreal. It's a great place to visit and the weather that time of year should be lovely. There is much to see and do in Montreal and does offer a lot, as would Quebec City which is more European in feeling than Montreal and much more compact for walking around.

Is Mom aware of this trip that you are planning? If so, let her choose. My family did that for me on a milestone birthday. I chose the location and three or four things I wanted to do while there. It was a fantastic celebration!

The Biltmore in Asheville would work. Maybe stay at The Omni Grove Park Inn.
The trees should be pretty and you can eat at The Biltmore as a break from being on feet so much. The grounds are lovely.
I like a trip where you stay one place, unpack and do activities from there.

I live in Mississippi and it may not seem like this is a place on a must visit and I get that! If she loves Elvis, Graceland is always an option but, Elvis was born and raised in Mississippi. Its humbling to see where he was born vs where he rose to. Other than the birthplace of Elvis there is a lot of history here! Battlefields, Jaz, etc... There is also a wonderful Spa and cooking school less than 30 miles away.The Alluvian Hotel -The Alluvian Spa is a 7,000-square-foot luxury spa located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta. It offers a complete menu of treatments including face and body care, massage therapy, therapeutic baths, hand and foot care, and cosmetic and hair services. The spa pampers guests even further with indigenous treatments and its signature Sweet Tea services. The Alluvian Spa is dedicated to rejuvenating both body and soul, providing a premium spa visit and a relaxing Delta experience.

The OP hasn't posted since April 3 so I'm pretty sure she's not still looking/interested -- after being dormant for nearly 3 months, the thread was weirdly topped a couple of days ago to complain about smoking in Vegas.
