We always enjoy the guest pets who join their owners for a fun stay at the Inn on Mill Creek. Just last week, the innpugs, Csaba Pugga and Bugsy Pug, made two new friends, Grayson and Scout, who were vacationing along with their respective humans at the B&B. Since we always travel with the innpugs in tow, we know how nice it is to find a pet friendly area. And that’s one of the reasons we (and the pugs) enjoy living in the dog-loving Asheville and Black Mountain area.

Chimney Rock Park Elevator Is Open
Great news from our friends at Chimney Rock Park: the scheduled improvements on the elevator to the Chimney are complete and the elevator has reopened to the public. The Chimney is a 315-foot monolith and the focal point of the park. From the parking lot, you can take the elevator up 26 stories, and then it’s a short walk and 44 stairs to the top of the rock, where you can see up to 75 miles. Lake Lure and Hickory Nut Gorge are really beautiful from the Chimney. Here’s a great photo from Chimney Rock Park’s website of the views:
