Accommodation options for your holiday in North Carolina
North Carolina’s cuisine: Barbecue and beyond
North Carolina is known for barbecue, and there's no shortage of places where you can find it throughout the state. Aficionados know there are two styles of barbecue in the state: Eastern and Lexington. While both are pork-based, Lexington style uses a tomato-based red sauce, and Eastern style uses a simpler vinegar and pepper-based sauce. Visitors can choose from an overwhelming number of barbecue joints, all with their own cooking methods, or time their visit so that they can attend the Lexington Barbecue Festival.
Asheville, another food hub in the state, offers up an eclectic ray of food styles – from French comfort food to Caribbean. It's also a bustling hub for food trucks such as Gypsy Queen Cuisine, which serves Lebanese cuisine, and El Kimchi, a Mexican-Korean fusion food truck.
North Carolina's climate: Breezy beaches and mountain snowfall
The climate in North Carolina is incredibly varied due to the wide variations in elevation and the state’s proximity to the ocean. In general, visitors can expect warm summers and cool winters with little snowfall. However, coastlines, such as the Outer Banks, are prone to high winds, while mountainous regions such as Pisgah National Forest often see heavy snow.
Snowfall and ski resorts make North Carolina's quaint mountain towns perfect for a cozy holiday letting in the winter, while summer breezes are inviting at holiday beach homes. Whereas outdoor theme parks are usually only open in warmer seasons, many of North Carolina's best attractions can be visited year round.
Signature Sights of North Carolina
Some of the best family activities here are enjoying relaxing picnics, hiking the many mountain ranges, or embarking on a cross-state cycling tour. Try horseback riding if you haven’t yet and experience a classic American adventure!
As well as the filming locations of the aforementioned blockbusters, don’t leave North Carolina without a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Located between North Carolina and Tennessee, visitors to this US National Park will experience beautiful, lush rainforests, wildlife, and flora.

Another beautiful stop is the Tryon Palace Gardens, a sweeping 16 acres of lush greenery. Designed in the 1950s by architect Morley Jeffers Williams, they recall the aristocratic gardens of Great Britain in the 18th century.
Summer is of course the best time to hit the beaches of North Carolina. More than 300 miles of barrier island beach await in the vicinity of your North Carolina holiday home.
