We stayed there using points 1 or 2 nights. Over a weekend. We live in NC but have never stayed there and have always wanted to. It was beautiful and we would love to go again. If you like the mountains I think you would really like it. We didn't eat there. If you go and have children, there is a gentleman who greets you when you drive up who is pictured in a children's book about a bear at the Grove Park Inn and he will autograph it for you. You can purchase the book in the lobby. It is realy a cute book if you have young children. We enjoyed our stay and the Inn and the grounds are gorgeous. I think you would enjoy it. Also you could tour the Biltmore House in Asheville too.
