Jan 18, 2019 - 2:37 PM

Escape heavy traffic, long lines and life’s hurried pace for some downtime in the scenic Western North Carolina foothills and mountains at Tryon Resort. Designed with the horse lover in mind, this equestrian lifestyle destination’s busy competition calendar settles down in the winter, and is the perfect retreat for a peaceful wintertime getaway.

 

Tryon Resort offers a variety of onsite lodging, diverse restaurants, shopping, equine simulator lessons, and nearby amenities like golf and clay pigeon shooting. The region is bookended to the west by the Blue Ridge Mountains, which offer a plethora of outdoor adventures all winter long, including leisurely strolls if you want to keep your blood pleasure low. Tryon Resort is also centrally located an hour or less between Asheville, Charlotte and Greenville, leaving you with plenty of opportunities to enjoy an extended getaway surrounded by the Carolinas’ gorgeous natural beauty while making it easy to reach from three major airports.
