When is the best time to go to The Arbor?

The best time to go to The Arbor is during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller. Spring in The Arbor brings mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, and the natural landscape comes alive with blooming flowers and lush greenery. This is an excellent time for couples who enjoy exploring the botanical gardens and taking scenic walks along the various trails without the intense summer heat. The outdoor dining options also become particularly appealing. Autumn offers similarly comfortable temperatures, usually between 10°C and 20°C, alongside the stunning display of changing leaves. For those who appreciate outdoor activities, such as hiking or cycling, this period provides ideal conditions. The cooler air and clear skies make it great for enjoying the local parks and outdoor markets. While summer (June to August) is also popular, it can be quite warm and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, and it tends to be the busiest period.

"Planned a short getaway to hike Mount Mitchell and this place could not have been more perfectly located to the trailhead. The Lodge is newly built, and ground are impeccably well maintained. The staff was super helpful. They even came by to drop off a lighter so the firepit could be put to use. They have a common use area with a ktichen and grills that can be utilized which is an added bonus as I don’t recall reading about all they had available to make the stay above and beyond expectations....

New red cedar log home just off the blue ridge parkway in Little Switzerland, NC

10/10 Excellent

"If you want quiet, rustic and "homey" this is the place for you! This place is nestled in a wooded area and definitely not on a paved road....just our style! The rustic looks and decor were perfect for our personal taste. The "worst" part of the stay was the lack of cell signal (we got 1 bar of 4g most of the time) but that didn't even bother us! We enjoyed being mostly disconnected for our stay. If you like being remote with the modern conveniences of lights & running water I HIGHLY recommend this place!"

Parkview Lodge & Cabins

8/10 Good

"I stayed here for 2 nights and it was wonderful for what i needed. The owner was very helpful and even had complementary waters and soda’s in the main office. My only complaint was that the air in the room was a little damp so towels did not dry very well and the room seemed oddly wet but it did not disrupt my stay."

Super 8 by Wyndham Morganton

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so helpful. I have a horrible sensitivity to smells and there was a cleaning smell in my room that would have made me very ill. The young man on duty immediately found me a new room, inspected it himself, brought is bottled water and came back about 30 minutes later to be sure the new room was ok. I would stay at this hotel again simply because he was kind. But that is not were this review ends. The room was very clean, the bed very comfortable and I was surprised with how quiet it was. I marked this hotel as a favorite so as we travel through this area we know that this is the place to stay. And the price....honestly was a huge deal!"
