Wine & Dine in Weaverville North Carolina

Weaverville North Carolina, just minutes north of Asheville, is growing into an awesome suburb and foodie community. We walked through the town recently and visited these restaurants and local businesses.

1. Maggie B's Wine & Specialty Store - This is THE Wine stop on the northside of town. If we are in the North Asheville or Weaverville area, we love to stop in and check this place out. Lots of wine and snacks, including a beautiful seating area and right in the middle of downtown Weaverville.

2. The Glass Onion - We have not personally eaten here yet, but it is definitely on our bucket list. Several friends said they love the food and atmosphere. 

3. Jack of Hearts - This is an "extension" of Jack of the Wood in downtown Asheville and has made a nice splash in the Weaverville community. Great experience every time we have been there, yum food, and lots of local and craft beer on tap!

4. Stoney Knob Cafe - This is the foodie must stop in the Weaverville NC area. Folks drive from Asheville, Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee regularly to eat here.

5. Well Bred Bakery & Cafe - Whether you are looking for desserts, coffees or a light meal, Well Bred is always the perfect choice. A great business meeting spot in the Weaverville area!

6. Blue Mountain Pizza - Awesome food, beer, atmosphere and some bluegrass music. Love coming here for lunch or dinner. Pizza is Yum!

7. Mike's on Main Street - Here is a place to get lunch.. a delicious All American Joint... burger and sandwich shop. Ate here several times and had meetings here too. They have inside seating as well as a private deck in the rear.

8. Athen's Restaurant - This is a Greek spot on the northside of town that cooks lunch and dinner in a less commercialized manner. I have not been here in 2 years, but it is usually full when we pass by.

9. Granny's Kitchen - The BEST Bacon, Egg & Cheese I can find in the area!! This is a small greasy spoon restaurant that serves a great breakfast, lunch and some homemade desserts. 

10. Poppy's Kitchen - This place is another greasy spoon diner, but a little more countrified than Granny's. I have eaten here a few times for a quick lunch or breakfast.

11. Weaverville Milling Company - We have eaten here several times and it is a good spot. Most of us enjoy the little "Milling House" experience, food is okay too.

If you are in the area, stop by and check some of these places out!

Greenway - Connecting Weaverville to Asheville in style

A "Greenway" is a long, narrow piece of land, often used for recreation, pedestrian and bicycle traffic that links vital parts of a community.

● Greenways bring greater connectivity to a community

● Greenways provide greater walkability which contributes to a myriad of health, environmental and economic benefits

● Greenways provide greater bikeability which contributes to a myriad of health, environmental and economic benefit.

● Greenways contribute immensely to green sustainability.

● Greenways provide countless opportunities for economic renewal and growth. Increased property values and tourism and recreation-related spending on items such as bicycles, in-line skates and lodging

We believe it to be of paramount importance for our community's health and future that we make it possible for people to move by means other than the automobile. Walkability and Bikeability matter and translate to better economic sustainability.

There are many benefits of trails and greenways that planners, funders, and the public need to know about: they make our communities more livable; improve the economy through tourism and civic improvement; preserve and restore open space; and provide opportunities for physical activity to improve fitness and mental health.

Build a Home in Weaverville North Carolina

We finished this small home for an investor couple out of Weaverville NC. They have it up for sale (photo shown) and several other lots available for construction. This is about 5 minutes to the new North Asheville Wal-Mart, and about 2 minutes from the quaint little Town of Weaverville North Carolina. About 12 minutes to Downtown Asheville! In this situation, the investor wanted to stay with a small footprint, build a daylight basement (one or more sides exposed), and have an A-Frame/Cape Style 3rd Floor with living area built in. Very nice little project. Exterior Arts and Crafts decor by Owner/Investor. Call Al's Contractors for all of your home building needs 828-201-6581

Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse in Weaverville is almost complete with Wal-Mart not trailing too far behind.

Welcome To Weaveville, North Asheville, The New City!

Stoney Knob Cafe, Room To The Left, My Favorite

I just love going to Stoney Knob Cafe in Weaverville North Carolina for Sunday Brunch. Their food is so wonderful, that many can sometimes skip the ride to Asheville and end up winning. Here is their "Room to the Left" as I call it. A beautiful place, dimmed in the evening, with some awesome decor, and a little bar to the right rear of the room. Visit Stoney Knob by clicking HERE.

North Asheville is about to explode. Like DanBel recently said on a video comment... "HELLO!".

Lake Louise Playground Weaverville NC

Lake Louise is the perfect suburb park, playground, and picnic area. It is about 10 minutes North of Asheville and it is a great asset to the Weaverville community. I know when I stop by, one kid runs to play with the ducks, the teens want to jog around the lake, some of the others jump in one of the playgrounds, while the others run over to the other smaller play area. I like to hang out on the benches meeting some of the great residents here in Weaverville.

Weaverville North Carolina is a strong community with the local Weaverville Police Department backed by the Buncombe County Sheriff's Department, and North Carolina State Troopers. Woodfin is also right next door to Weaverville, so their Police always supports this area as well.

Our Course Is Recognized As A Golfing Jewel Of Western North Carolina

Reems Creek Golf Club in Weaverville, N.C. offers a secluded setting that captures the splendor and rustic beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and that has regularly won four stars in Golf Digest's “Places to Play.” Lots of the holes on this par-72 mountain course have elevation changes that test your ability to pick the right club to fit our terrain. You'll also find that most of our par-4s here are almost target holes that require accuracy and strategy. One example of a great placement hole is our 5th. You're hitting downhill on this short par-4 (348 yards from the back and 251 from the front). You'll see a large lake off to the left along the fairway and another one in front of the green. It can be hard to play this hole without crossing water. “It's our signature hole,” said Larry Carter, our director of golf. “It's not a tough hole, but when there's water to cross, it can be interesting.” The 9th hole here is a great par-5 that plays at 532 yards from the back and 455 from the forward tees). “You tee off and hit up to a plateau about 200 yards from the tee box where you'll make your second shot,” Carter said. “Then you hit downhill while trying to avoid the bunkers in front of the green. It's hard to reach the green in two; you really need two good shots to do it.” Our 12th hole (542 yards from the back and 419 from the front) is a par-4 that requires you to hit you ball up to the landing area. “The green slopes from right to left and you may find that your putt here will move very quickly,” Carter said.
On the 16th, a par-4, playing at 358 yards from the back and 268 from the front, has a pond to cross off the tee and a second lake at about 220 yards down the fairway. The fairway is nestled into an area that provides one of most picturesque views up the valley. You'll be making your second shot over the lake to a two-tiered green. You want to hit your drive about 200 to 210 yards to get as close as you can to the second pond. “But if you go too long,” said Carter, “you're in the water.” Our 18th, another great par-5, measuring 522 yards from the back and 456 from the front, can easily be viewed from the clubhouse dining room. So do you best as you putt out to impress the other golfers who are eating lunch and watching you from up above. You'll need to watch out for the lake off to the left as you pitch up to a much higher green or you could become the center of attraction.

Course distances, ratings and slopes: Blue 6,492 yards (71.9/133); White 6,106 (70.2/126); Red 4,605 (68.1/122).

Sign-up sheet in the Parish Hall.

The renovation of the Church moves ahead. I believe all the painting and repair of the exterior will be done by this Sunday. The exterior of the Church is looking wonderful. We are receiving another gift of five thousand dollars for the building fund/renovation work. So that brings us to a total of thirty thousand dollars towards the forty thousand dollar challenge gift. Ten thousand more and we will make that goal and have enough funds to complete phase II & III of the renovation.

See you this Sunday and Christmas at St. Matthew's.

Morning Traffic on Reems Creek in Weaverville NC

Just a quick picture showing the traffic waiting to get off of Reems Creek Road and onto Merrimon. As this area of Weaverville grows, making this a 4 lane would be a little bit of a task, but I believe the Town of Weaverville and Buncombe County will work it out. Of course you can head up Hamburg Mountain Road or Dogwood Road to go into Downtown Weaverville and North, but this is the road most people use when heading to Asheville, etc.
