Transylvania County is located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, about half way between Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC. It borders 4 counties in North Carolina and 3 in South Carolina [Buncombe County (and Asheville) to the northeast, Haywood County (and Maggie Valley) to the northwest, Henderson County (and Hendersonville) to the east, and Jackson County (and Cashiers) to the west].
Brevard aka “Land of Waterfalls” is home to more than 250 waterfalls. Whitewater Falls is the one of the highest waterfalls in the Eastern United States. Framed by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, access to Pisgah National Forest, Gorges State Park and DuPont State Forest provide visitors with endless opportunities of outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, canoeing, tubing, waterfall chasing, rock climbing and fly fishing.
There is also a rich cultural scene in the county – world-renowned Brevard Music Center, Brevard Philharmonic, Paul Porter Center for Performing Arts at Brevard College, Transylvania Choral Society, Transylvania Community Arts Council and more. The All-American Main Street is full of local shops, breweries, galleries and great restaurants. A stately courthouse sits on the square with a gazebo where community concerts are held.
Meraki Escape is perfectly positioned for guests to extend their escape with many must do day trips throughout Western North Carolina. We are just 50 miles from the iconic Biltmore Estate and hip town of Asheville, 21 miles from the quaint village of Cashiers, 30 miles from downtown Hendersonville, NC (home of the 60-year-old North Carolina Apple Festival every Labor Day weekend), and 20 miles from America’s favorite drive, The Blue Ridge Parkway.
