We just wrapped up an incredible stay at Graystone Lodge, Ascend Hotel Collection, and let me tell you, it was pure magic! Nestled amidst the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains in Boone, North Carolina, this charming boutique hotel surpassed all our expectations. From the warm welcome to the endless opportunities for adventure, Graystone Lodge provided the perfect escape for our family.
Just two hours and twenty minutes from Charlotte, Graystone Lodge boasts an unbeatable location. Situated close to vibrant Boone town center, yet offering a sense of peaceful seclusion, the hotel is your gateway to endless mountain adventures. Whether you're skiing at Appalachian Ski Mountain, exploring Tweetsie Railroad, or soaking in the breathtaking views from Grandfather Mountain, everything is just a short drive away.
The moment we stepped into the lobby, we were greeted by a wave of warmth and personalized service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, always offering helpful tips and recommendations. Our room was tastefully decorated with local artwork, reflecting the High Country charm, and provided all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay.
But the real star of the show was the abundance of activities for our family. The kids splashed in the indoor pool, roasted marshmallows around the outdoor fire pit, and even took part in a fun art class offered by a local artist partnered with the hotel. We also enjoyed exploring the surrounding area, from hiking scenic trails to discovering local shops and restaurants.
Speaking of restaurants, Graystone Lodge's partnerships with local businesses took our dining experiences to a whole new level. We savored delicious breakfasts featuring local bagels and Dan'l Boone country ham, and enjoyed discounted meals at some of Boone's top restaurants. From the creative pizzas at Lost Province to the Southwest soul food at Coyote Kitchen, our taste buds were in for a treat!
Graystone Lodge is more than just a hotel; it's an experience that immerses you in the heart of the High Country. From the carefully curated artwork to the local partnerships, everything about the hotel reflects a genuine love for the region. We left feeling refreshed, reconnected, and with a newfound appreciation for the beauty and charm of Boone.
