cmcfong...glad you enjoyed Stony Knob and Well Bread. Did you see the Secret Garden Spa down the street? Beautiful place..

No, Leah, I missed that. I wish I had seen it. I have been to the GPI spa and it is indeed fabulous, but also fabulously expensive. I will check out Secret Garden on my next trip! Thanks for the tips, you are always such a great resource.

I called Mt. Mitchell and the roads are closed for sure from all directions, ice in the tunnels. So I am hoping I can still get to Looking Glass Rock instead this weekend for a good hike.

Thanks for all the help...revised trip based on comments....staying at Sourwood Inn, eating at Savoy Saturday night and either Zambra, Salsas or Limones Sunday night (we are still not sure)...and Tupelo Honey and maybe Barleys for lunch....
