Arbor House News and Views

I do believe that  honk if you like fall was written on the water at Lake Tomahawk this morning because the travelling Canada geese were all honking like crazy.  There was a little nip in the air this morning when I took a lap around the lake and people are starting to put on that little jacket for their morning stroll. Looking forward to some cooler weather, baked apples in the mornings and a wood fire roaring in the dining room. Come join us for the fall leaf show it's suppose to be great this year.

Make you plans to come stay at Arbor House and go see the wonderful Christmas trees and decorations at the Biltmore house.  Each year I am amazed at how beautiful it is and the large tree in the dining room has a different theme.   We have partners tickets here at Arbor House at a good price for you and you can add on the extra price to attend the candle light tour at night if you want.  If you want something to put you in the holiday spirit this will get you going.

The good rains we have had cleared up the lake and it looks like a mirror reflection of the trees and walker with his dog.  I wanted to be out walking this morning but had to just be content to take a few pictures off the balcony while the guest had breakfast.  Some of them did enjoy a walk around the lake this morning to build up an appetite for " Granola Blues" , blueberry granola pancakes .  The path around the lake is a great flat walking area and only .55 miles around the lake.  Everywhere you look you can see the mountain tops or just enjoy the ducks playing in the water.

According to the Black Mountain News this report gives hope to a pretty fall here in the mountains.
" Due to weather conditions over the spring and summer months. Kathy Mathews, Western Carolina Univerisity's fall foliage forecaster, predicts an "excellent" fall color show.

We have had another busy summer and looking forward to fall.  Wish I had a "in"  to let everyone know when peak season will be best to veiw the leaves but no such luck.  It is nice that in the fall there is color either up high on the mountains or where we live.  We get to enjoy the color for months that way.

What our guests are saying:

"HEI!
I just wanted to say that our stay has been wonderful. We could not ask  for anything more. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality."
