Our Take
What makes Lake Powhatan Glamping special
Lake Powhatan Glamping brings a touch of comfort to the Blue Ridge Mountains just minutes from Asheville, North Carolina. Rather than roughing it, you settle into furnished glamping accommodations right alongside a small lake framed by hardwood forest, with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the extensive trail networks of Bent Creek Experimental Forest. Mountain biking here is outstanding — the singletrack ranges from flowy beginner loops to rooty, technical descents that will test seasoned riders. Hikers can connect to longer routes through Pisgah National Forest, and the lake itself offers a mellow spot for fishing and paddling. Fall is the showstopper season when the surrounding mountains blaze with color, though spring wildflower displays run a close second. After a day on the trails, Asheville's renowned food and brewery scene is a short drive away. This is an ideal pick for couples, families, or friend groups who love the outdoors but also appreciate a real bed, a roof overhead, and a craft beer waiting at the end of the trail.
