Gan Shan, Firelight Featured in Town & Country

Town & Country released its “Snob’s Guide to North Carolina,” an insider look at luxury travel around the state, and two of our clients made the cut. Writer Jenn Rice highlighted both Firelight at Shope Creek and Gan Shan, placing them alongside some of the most sought after destinations in North Carolina.

For Firelight at Shope Creek, the feature underscores what guests tell us again and again. The cabins feel private and grounding, and the setting offers the kind of off-grid comfort people are looking for right now. Winter stays are already picking up, and this mention gives travelers one more reason to slow down and book a few nights in the woods.

Gan Shan’s inclusion speaks to the strength of Chef Ray Hui’s work, his connection to Asheville, and the way the restaurant continues to hold its place as a neighborhood spot that delivers consistently good food. It is rare for casual counter service to show up in a luxury guide, which makes this recognition even more meaningful.

For anyone with Town & Country Premium access, the full guide is worth a read.
