Firelight at Shope Creek Featured on PBS NC Weekend

The best mountain stays are not always the ones with the longest list of things to do.

Sometimes they are the places that give you permission to do less, make coffee slowly, sit by the fire, walk under the trees, soak in the hot tub, cook with herbs from the garden, and let the day open.

That is the side of Firelight at Shope Creek that PBS NC Weekend captured in their “Rest and Recharge” episode.

Firelight was featured on PBS NC Weekend in an episode called “Rest and Recharge,” which explored restorative escapes across North Carolina. The segment captured exactly what makes the property so special: modern boutique cabins tucked into the trees, quiet mountain mornings, private hot tubs, an outdoor sauna, fresh eggs from the chickens on site, herbs from the garden, private trails, wood stoves, and the kind of ease that is harder and harder to find when travel starts to feel like another packed schedule.

Located just 20 minutes from downtown Asheville and close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest, Firelight offers that rare balance travelers are looking for right now, access to the city when you want it, and a quiet place to come back to when you’re done.
