Don't miss this opportunity to learn and be with others who are intrigued by the particular location and subjects too. I purposefully came alone and all were welcoming. A smart and cozy experience! Would do it again in a heart beat!

Despite some closures because of hurricane Sandy, Jane Huffman made sure we got as much of the programming in as possible. This is my 6th Road Scholar trip inside of a year and she is by far one of the best leaders I have had. The facility was wonderful- the food and food service was excellent. The speakers were informative and engaging.I'd recommend this trip to anyone.

This was my first Road Scholar and out of my comfort zone as a lone traveler. It met all my expectations and then some. Will be looking forward the next experience. Well worth the time and money!

I really enjoyed this trip. Jane was exceptionally accommodating and enthusiastic. I have taken many Road Scholar trips and encourage others to do so. I had never been South and was impressed with the scenery, the history and the people we met.

The Asheville Program is worth taking....the Black Mountains in the fall are filled with color and the history of the area is interesting. Very much worth considering to take this trip.

This was my first experience with a Road Scholar program, but won't be the last. The setting was lovely, the programs informative, and the coordinator, Jane Huffman, was outstanding.

This was the first Road Scholar program we attended. It was also our first trip to North Carolina. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed each day. It was a great value for everything that was included. Our coordinator Jane was wonderful and couldn't have done more to make our experience more enjoyable. We are feady to book our next Road Scholar trip!

Although I was there a bit early for the peak of the fall foliage, it was still an enjoyable program. The coordinator, Jane Huffman, kept the field trips on schedule and there was ample time at each stop for the sights. The mountains are beautiful at anytime of the year. There was good food each day with snacks available between meals. The program gave me a better understanding of the area and of the Cherokee. Highly recommended.
