Asheville Living

Are you looking for even more local and residential Asheville information and tips? Find resources, books, and articles related to Asheville living here.

I always love reading about a destination before I visit. Asheville is especially unique because the city is home to as well as produces so many authors, writers, and poets. I’d like to think that the gorgeous mountains spark all of this inspiration.

Along with the Vanderbilts came Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Thomas Wolfe was an infamous and gossipy resident, and you can still visit his mother’s boarding home today. Authors like Jan Karon created her Mitford series based off of Blowing Rock, and historian Denise Kiernan teaches us more about Biltmore.

Let’s not forget all of the Appalachian literature and books set in North Carolina that will inspire your travels. Don’t miss authors like Lee Smith and Ron Rash.
