Type a city name/state/region in your message title EVEN if you highlight a state.
I've noticed a lot of ambiguous message titles lately, and many people responding in frustration along the lines of "Why don't you say what state/city you're talking about?!?!
Posters AND readers may not realize/remember that when you post a message you are given the option of both a message and a 'keyword'.
For example, someone might use "best hotel" as a message and choose "arizona" from the keyword list, not realizing that the keyword does NOT show up in the message title or text, and is only useful for searching among all the posts.
I really enjoy this forum, but I don't want to 'waste' my time reading posts on topics I thought were about something else, nor do I think posters deserve rude (ok, frustrated)
responses to their posts because they are unaware of how the system works.

Have you thought about the Highlands/Cashiers area of NC? Lots of great restaurants (make sure to try The Veranda). There is a wonderful B&B in that area called The Millstone Inn. It has fabulous mountain views and even has a waterfall on the property. The phone number is 888-645-5786 or check out the web site at www.millstoneinn.com.

djanna,
Here's another vote for Cashiers (and Highlands, they're about 10-15 miles apart). It's a great area, with Whitewater Falls about 30 minutes to the east and Whiteside Mountain just 15 minutes west of Cashiers on Highway 64. Cashiers is still developing (with several nice restaurants), while Highlands is a great day trip with lots of shopping along its main street.
You may want to look into staying at the High Hampton Inn at Cashiers. There is a main lodge plus individual cabins, with a lake, golf course, restaurant, and great hiking up several peaks on the property.
Have a great time!
