What to Expect During Your Fall Stay

Fall weather in Blue Ridge is a delightful mix of sunny days and cool nights. You can expect temperatures to range from the low 50s in the morning to the mid-60s by afternoon. This means packing layers is essential—think cozy sweaters, warm socks, and a good jacket. The mild weather is perfect for outdoor activities like hiking, apple picking, horseback riding, and zip lining. Enjoy shopping in downtown Blue Ridge and wine tastings close by as you explore the gorgeous scenery.

In addition to the beautiful weather, fall brings a sense of serenity to the mountains. Wildlife is more active this time of year, so keep your eyes peeled for deer, turkeys, and other animals as you wander the trails or even from the comfort of your cabin.
