	Summer in the Cool Mountains of North Carolina Come spend your summer vacation with us. The average temperature in the summer is 67 degrees which means warm days, low 80s and cool nights, 50s. Days are long with plenty of outdoor fun including the Virginia Creeper Trail, hiking trails at White Top and Mount Rogers, canoeing and the swimming hole in Helton Creek at Zydeco Moon. There is wonderful organic produce, especially our heirloom tomatoes which are ready in mid June. There are wild blackberries and black raspberries on the farm and several pick your own blueberry farms. There are at least 10 art galleries in town and 4 wineries within an hour’s drive of the cabins. It is a great way for families and couples to spend time together exploring the wonders of the Blue Ridge Mountains. At night the stars are brilliant and the lightning bugs put on a twinkling light show. As always active duty military receive a 10% discount.
	We discovered North Carolina's High Country in 1996, and it was love at first sight. The Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the world's "must ride" motorcycle roads. And it lived up to its reputation - spectacular in every season! We rode it, and the thousands of miles of other roads in the High Country. The urge to come to the High Country returned every year, and we found ourselves looking for that perfect place. It had to have water. It had to have views. It had to have trout fishing. It had to have roads that were a joy to drive. We found it here on Helton Creek! We have 51 acres which borders Helton Creek for a half mile and is only 2 miles from the New River. Ashe County is a beautiful, unspoiled place to bring your family to enjoy the many area activities, or to get away for a quiet weekend. Check out the Mountain Times "Summer Fun" and the Ashe County Chamber of Commerce for a complete listing of all the area activities. In 2007 we completed two log homes as vacation rentals. They are up on a ridge tucked in the trees with beautiful long range views of the Helton Creek Valley. The cabins are not a second home for us, they were built to appeal to small families or couples, the kind of place we would have wanted when we traveled to the area. The Blue Ridge Parkway and all of its beauty is 25 minutes away. Since we are closer to Virginia, many of the sites are unknown to our renters. The Virginia Creeper trail is a 17 mile downhill ride with spectacular views. White Top Mountain and Grayson-Highlands State Park are a 20 minute drive. Check out "The Area" section of our website for things to do while you are here. But if you don't want to get out of sight of your cabin, break out the fly rod and try for that 24 inch rainbow in "Old Forge Hole" which is right here on the property.		Helton Creek
