Our
recent
stay
at
Mount
Mitchell
Eco
Retreat
was
one
of
the
highlights
of
our
trip.
It
truly
was
a
place
to
commune
with
nature
-
from
the
cool
mountain
air
(in
July!),
the
babbling
brook
close
by,
the
variety
of
foliage,
sounds
of
birds
by
day
and
fireflies
at
night,
to
the
majestic
view
of
Mount
Mitchell
from
the
lodge.
Owners
Heather
and
Sean
were
so
welcoming
and
friendly.
They
shared
some
interesting
history
about
the
area
and
their
mission
for
the
retreat.
Our
room,
in
the
Mitchell
lodge,
was
appealing
to
the
eye,
cozy
and
comfortable.
The
special
touches
and
eco-friendly
updates
in
the
rooms
and
around
the
lodge
were
notable.
There
was
a
great
porch,
right
outside
the
front
door
of
our
room,
with
rocking
chairs.
The
chairs
and
view
provided
the
perfect
setting
to
enjoy
nature,
read,
relax,
and
talk.
Having
no
tv
was
actually
a
nice
change
of
pace!
Use
of
the
public
stoves,
refrigerators,
and
any
kind
of
cooking
utensils,
24/7
in
the
main
lodge
helped
us
save
money
on
meals
and
provided
a
nice
community
setting
to
meet
others.
The
grounds
were
very
well-kept
and
fun
to
explore.
The
owner's
dog,
Olive,
was
friendly
and
smart.
She
greeted
us
when
we
arrived
and
came
by
on
the
morning
we
were
leaving
as
if
to
tell
us
goodbye.
We
will
definitely
will
stay
at
the
Mount
Mitchel
Eco
Retreat
again
when
in
the
area.
We
highly
recommend
it
as
a
wonderful
getaway
location
and
with
easy
access
to
the
Blue
Ridge
Parkway,
Mount
Mitchell,
hiking
trails
and
other
activities
for
all
ages!
