One July Reply asked for tips on a place to go when it super cold but no HIKING…
Linville Caverns (near Banner Elk) - Located just outside Banner Elk, these caverns maintain a constant 52°F temperature, making them a comfortable indoor escape from the cold. Guided tours showcase stunning geological formations and local history, perfect for an educational and weather-proof outing.
Watauga Recreation Center (Boone) - Opened in 2021, this modern facility is ideal for indoor fun. It features two indoor pools with waterslides and a climbing wall, fitness equipment, and courts for basketball, volleyball, and pickleball. Day passes make it accessible for visitors looking to stay active indoors during cold weather
I have been offering our guest at Rich Summit View a free YOU PICK flower bouquet with their summer stays. It has been a very nice deal and our guest have loved it!

Boone Fun with kids in the rain Foggy Mountain Gem Mine, Mystery Hill, Mast Farm Original Store, Thrift/Vintage shopping. YES THRIFT/VINTAGE — help them look for their favorite cartoon characters, books or book series, favorite coins, games etc. So many of these places have people that have a KIDS NICHE that you can make a sort of game out of them finding the booth or booths with their items in it. Some places are really mixed in so its really a search high and low.
Those are just a few places to see and do in Rain. Here is a great little page to watch for more ideas. https://www.exploreboone.com/things-to-do/rainy-day-activities/
Here is another tip… Have you ever looked on AIRBNB or VRBO and noticed the cabin name? It may have been in the description or maybe it was on the kitchen photo showing a refrigerator magnet with the VACATION RENTALS name on it… Guess what? The owner is trying to tell you to GOOGLE THEIR NAME to find different ways to book their cabin so you can save money OR AT LEAST COMPARE prices.

Promo Code SOCO10 for 10% off bookings of 3 nights or August - December 2025
Our family has four favorite warm weather activities in Blue Ridge.
1. Tubing the Toccoa River. The Toccoa River is nestled in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains and is perfect for a relaxing day of floating on calm waters. This activity is fun for all ages and is an absolute must on any group's stay in Blue Ridge or the North Georgia Mountains.
2. Raft the Ocoee Another great water activity! All participants must be 12 or older. Since 1976, Ocoee Rafting has welcomed many to miles of challenging and exciting Class III and IV rapids on one of the country's premier rivers. Experience Ocoee River Rafting and feel the excitement of whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River.
3. Trout Fishing: There is no shortage of places for world class trout fishing around Blue Ridge! Whether a private float trip with a guide or just wading out at one of the public fishing areas in the area, you are sure to hook up on some trout! One of our favorite spots is Horseshoe Bend Park in Mineral Bluff just outside McCaysville. Such a great area to spend the afternoon with the family for a picnic, swimming, or wading out for some trout fishing.
4. Blue Ridge Pool and Splashpad The brand new public pool and splash pad is a great way to cool off during the hot days. Expansive new zero entry pool complete with a waterslide and a splashpad play area for the littles. We include a free membership for our guests to utilize when staying at The Yellowstone.
