We were just there a few weeks ago and it is a great place. Our friend Shawn owns Mountains to Sea Aquariums in Asheville and just moved into a new location and is still getting set up. The Biltmore Estate is always a great place to tour if you have a few hours. I would definitely take a cab and go visit the Omni Crown Point hotel. It has great food and incredible mountain views. If you are at all interested in beer the Sierra Nevada Brewery facility is mind-blowing. The tours are typically booked 6 weeks out but we were able to get on stand by and there were a few openings for the next tour. It is really some beautiful construction and visually impressive. Not to mention you get a free tasting at the end. :D

Hope that helps.

I think there are only two shops in town, with Mountains to Sea being one. Shawn the owner is a great lady. The Omni is really cool. They have a bunch of places to eat, many shops and a dueling piano bar in the basement. We had a great time there until about Midnight. If you are in town check out the Grand Bohemian Hotel, which is where we stayed. Amazing decor if you like a "lodge" type atmosphere.

Honestly, we arrived in Asheville for a weekend getaway which by luck happened to be on the day of her grand opening. They were still arranging tanks and other final odds and ends and I didn't even look at prices. Shawn is a great person devoted to the hobby and she will do you right if you ever need anything.

GPS took me to the road but couldn't find the shop it was saying it was next to a shop nuts and bolts or something?
