Mills River is HOPping with breweries!
Sierra Nevada Brewery (8 min drive) is one of our favorite places. Anyone that comes to visit, it’s a must. They have an excellent menu and it’s just a really family friendly atmosphere. Often there is live music on a tiered, outdoor auditorium with games for kids and a garden you can walk through.
Conosur restaurant at the corner of 280 & 191 / 6 minutes drive from the house - is our favorite place, serving Cuban & Peruvian food. Make sure to stop in to Mills River Creamer, conveniently located right next door!
Mills River Brewery has a beautiful outdoor/dog-friendly seating area and a food truck: Juju’s always on site.
*Mills River Brewery, Bold Rock Cidery and Burning Blush Brewery are a stones throw from the house and can all be found within a one-mile radius.

Super cute little town. 22 minutes south down 280. Easy enough to park right downtown and walk to all the sights.

Looking Glass falls is a short drive into the forest and has parking with a tiny walk down to the falls. For a full days adventure, rent a tube at the entrance of the forest and lazy River tube down the river or spend the day at Sliding Rock. If the weather is dreary, you can check out the Fish Hatchery at John’s Rock or the Cradle of Forestry for kids entertainment in Pisgah. On a pretty day, the 25 minute drive up 276 from Brevard to the Blue Ridge is worth the spectacular view. If it’s supper time on the parkway, The Pisgah Inn has a stellar and fancy menu.
