Escape, Relax & Celebrate at Chetola Resort in Blowing Rock ~ GIVEAWAY

By Anna Hall, Macaroni Kid Publisher, Hickory NC April 26, 2018


A trip up the mountain to the quaint village of Blowing Rock is always a treat. From shopping to dining, hiking to fishing, playing at Memorial Park to exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway, skiing at Appalachian Ski Mountain to riding the rides at Tweetsie Railroad, there’s plenty to do in every season. With numerous activities and attractions, there are enough options in the area for a fun day trip, weekend getaway or week-long vacation.

Nestled on the edge of town you’ll find Chetola Resort. The 87-acre resort is set against a backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with Chetola Lake in the foreground as you enter the beautiful property. Upscale accommodations include a lodge, condominiums and an inn; dining options range from gourmet dining at Timberlake’s Restaurant, casual dining at Headwater’s Pub, or waterfront dining on the patio. There’s a spa for relaxing treatments, a recreation center with lots of activity options, and a sporting reserve for adventure, along with a host of special events throughout the year. And the best part: Chetola Resort is open to the public.

My mom and I recently spent a fabulous day at Chetola during her visit from PA. After a hectic week of motherly duties, we treated ourselves to a relaxing daycation as an early Mother’s Day celebration. We enjoyed fabulous treatments at Chetola’s luxurious spa (would you believe I had never had a facial before? Now I’ll definitely plan on having one regularly!), explored the scenic walking trails around the beautiful property, feasted on a delicious lunch from the highly-rated restaurant and soaked in the rec center’s indoor pool and jacuzzi. After a few hours at Chetola, we left feeling like we’ve just had the most relaxing vacation.

Chetola Resort in Blowing Rock, NC is a great destination for your next mountain getaway, relaxing daycation, fun adventure or special celebration. Learn more and plan your visit at Chetola.com.
