Boone, NC as I said before in other postings is a small town full of non stop "ole fashioned" mountian fun with the hospitality to go along with it. Since you might be hungry when you get here and you want a good "ole mountain" home cooked meal I highly suggest The Daniel Boone Inn. They fix it a meal in that special "old fashioned way" that you cant get enough of. They really make you feel at home and relaxed. Dont miss it!

If your into a Bed & Breakfasts, We suggest the Lovill House Inn because quite simply put, they are the best around here in our opinion. It's a beautiful farm house that was originally built in 1875 that was restored in 1993. It's a taste of "Old North Carolina" that you'll always remember and want to come back to.

Now, in this blog I will always be your "local friend". In otherwords I'll be stuffing these articles with tips on what not to miss such as the most beautiful and exciting places and also how to save lots of money when you come to the Appalachians.

So here is my first tip about going to Boone, NC. If you take US 321 North from Lenoir, NC you'll have one of the most breathtaking views of the mountains all the way from Lenoir, NC to Blowing Rock, NC then on to Boone from there. Going US 421 North from Winston Salem. NC you cant really see anything but trees.

A picture taken form US321 headed toward Blowing Rock, NC on our way to Boone. You can see the mountains until they disappear into the horizon.

Boone, NC was established in 1872 and was named after the great pioneer legend Daniel Boone. Legend has it that Daniel had a favorite camp site that he loved that he would often stop at along his many adventures, thus the towns name. Boone is a rather small town with a population of around 17,000 and is home to a fine university in the middle of town, Appalachian State University which seems to help the area become more diversified and richer in the applachian culture every year through special seminars and festivals every summer that are often open to the public.

Welcome to our world of clean living and good old fashioned fun!
