Thousands of families have joined in on Earthshine's special seasonal celebrations over the years. We really whoop it up these holiday weekends. Come on and take part in the fun!

ROMANTIC VALENTINES WEEKEND SPECIAL, February 15 & 16, 2008.

Come spend a romantic weekend on our beautiful mountaintop! Spend Friday and Saturday night, savor six sumptuous meals and enjoy all that Earthshine has to offer. Fly through the treetops on the zipline course, make your way from one platform to another on the high ropes course, or take a hike to Lovers Falls! All this is available for $500/couple. Call us at (828) 862-4207 while rooms are still available.

January and February weekends

Get four or more families together and we'll open up for a winter weekend. Enjoy all of Earthshine's activities during the beautiful winter months. If you're lucky, maybe we'll have to dig out the sleds and go sailing down our big hills! There's nothing quite like s'mores in front of a campfire in January!

A Mountaintop Easter, (March 21 - 23, 2008)

Join us on the mountaintop for Easter crafts, a HUGE egg hunt, and a visit from the Easter Bunny. We'll be coating corncobs in peanut butter and birdseed to make treats for the birds and squirrels, decorating eggs and creating our very own recycled egg hunt baskets.

Memorial Day Weekend, (May 23 - 25, 2008)

HELP! We need volunteers in the Pioneer village. Our sheep are too wooly and we can't get them corralled for the shearer by ourselves. Saturday morning we'll be hard at work making candles, pressing apple cider, spinning wool, blacksmithing, and mining for gems . Come prepared to work hard, get dirty and eat lots.

Fourth of July, (July 4 - 6, 2008)

Old fashioned games in the pasture is the only way to celebrate July 4th. Egg tosses, hula hoop relays, seed spitting and watermelon eating. We'll have the slip- n-slide up running for the little tikes. Then we'll finish up the evening with a game of Frisbee golf, and sparklers.

Labor Day Weekend, (August 29 – Sept. 1, 2008)

Escape to the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Relax on the deck and enjoy the sunset. The days are starting to get cooler and the nights have a glorious array of stars you can’t begin to see from the city. Whether you are flying down the zipline course, balancing on the logs and cables of the high ropes course or going back in time to visit our pioneer and Cherokee villages, a visit to Earthshine is an unforgettable experience!

October Weekends

October 10 - 12, 2008
October 17 - 19, 2008
October 24 - 26, 2008
October 31 – November 2 2008

Bring your family for some R & R and sit on the porch and enjoy the vista or relax in front of a crackling fire in one of our two stone fireplaces. The crisp night air is so refreshing after a hard week’s work! Bob for apples and carve jack-o-lanterns. Trick or treat!

Thanksgiving (November 26 - 30, 2008)

Our Thanksgiving feast is one Grandma would be proud of. Enjoy a traditional meal without any of the hard work. Then spend your afternoon playing in the pasture or napping by the fire.

Winter Holidays, (December 27, 2008 - January 2, 2009)

Sit by the stone fireplace on a crisp winter's day. Enjoy hot chocolate as you watch the sunset off our deck.. Celebrate the coming of the New Year with us here on the mountaintop. Bundle up and enjoy all of our traditional Earthshine activities.

FAMILY REUNIONS AT EARTHSHINE

Why didn't we think of it before!?! Well, the truth is, we have. Earthshine has always been a wonderful place to whisk the whole family away for a weekend or longer away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The kids absolutely forget the DVD player and video games and run in the grass, playing and laughing. When you book the lodge for a reunion, all 13 rooms (41 beds) the zipline, high ropes, pioneer and Cherokee villages and absolutely all our activities are yours to arrange as they fit your family's needs. Share a magical experience with all of your loved ones!
