It’s our beautiful mountain hometown:
Black Mountain, NC! A stay with us at The Red Rocker Inn means you’re within walking distance from downtown, a short drive to hikes and our neighbor Asheville 🌺

Fifteen miles from Asheville, one little North Carolina town is making the bigger destination look suspiciously overrated.

❤️ Pouring Out Our Gratitude: Supporting Home Away Heroes

Founded by a veteran whose service spanned from the Presidential Honor Guard to the U.S. Air Force Band, this program provides well-deserved love and community to military spouses holding down the fort during difficult deployment seasons.
How you can make a difference today:
• If you are attending: Look for the “Sponsor a Deployed Spouse” option at checkout to fully fund a premium Heritage Tea Service (including all fees and gratuity) for a local military spouse.
• If you can’t make it but want to support: You can click our direct link to contribute to the Home Away Heroes fund without purchasing an event ticket for yourself.
Spaces for this elegant weekend are limited.
