Directions to Bakersville

If you haven't been to Bakersville, NC lately, you have missed out on one of the best kept secrets in Western North Carolina!

Bakersville is the County Seat for Mitchell County, and it boasts a burgeoning arts community. We are just a little over an hour northeast of Asheville, at the base of Roan Mountain, one of the highest peaks in the Eastern United States.

We're also just minutes from the Penland School of Crafts and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
​
Enjoy a truly unique visit to our beautiful little place in the mountains.
