The High Hampton Inn is closed right now for the season. Snow blankets the Blue Ridge Mountains of Cashiers, North Carolina and this wonderful family resort is tucked in snugly for the winter.
But come April, this lovely location will welcome all the families who have been returning for visits over the decades. I spent a few days there last summer with our grown daughter and seven year old grandson and we learned just why this place is so incredibly popular that families return year after year, even booking their next vacation before they head home.
We made the drive though the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, winding our way through the thick spruce, fir, oak and hickory forests which combine to create a blue haze when the mountains are seen from a distance, thus earning them the name. We actually took this photo when leaving, but it gives you an idea of the beauty of this area.
Gorgeous view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
We pulled into the resort grounds and were immediately amazed at the beauty of the mountains soaring into the sky which surround the resort. This is truly one of the most idyllic locations for a resort that I have ever seen.
