This is Mitchell’s Lodge first entry on our new Blog.
November is upon us and we still have a few leaves on the trees which is a little unusual but not unheard of. November is a great month to visit Highlands because the October crowds have gone and November typically is not really cold or snowy and with the leaves gone, hiking becomes the November thing to do. With few leaves hiking is great because you can enjoy the lay of the land and unbelievable views that you couldn’t see in the summer with the leaves on the trees.
The Highlands 5th Annual Culinary Weekend which begins on Thursday November 10th. Chefs and wineries will be on hand for an amazing night of food, wine, and fun. After that, the entire weekend can be filled with everything from cookbook signings, to unbelievable wine dinners, and let us not forget The Ugly Dog Pub Late Night Hang Out!!! Please see the Highlands culinary Weekend website for full details www.highlandsculinaryweekend.com/ . If you’re attending the Culinary Weekend we are offering 10% off and a complimentary bottle of wine with each reservation this weekend.
The Thanksgiving Holiday is certainly a memorable one, with plenty of restaurants open for a traditional or non-traditional holiday menu, whatever suits you. If you have reservations to stay with us, don’t forget to give us a call so we can reserve that perfect place for your Thanksgiving Dinner.
The Bascom has one of our favorite holiday workshops. Visit Highlands N.C. November 25th or 26th and reserve your spot at The Bascom for their Gingerbread House Workshop…Everything you need to create a great gingerbread house is supplied for you. A treat for the entire family!!!
Santa will be at The Highlands Visitor Center Friday November 25th from 10a.m.-3 p.m. Then the real kick-off to the Christmas Season will begin with the Highlands Downtown Tree Lighting at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 26th, in front of the Highlands United Methodist Church.
On Saturday, December 3rd at 11:00 a.m. it will be the time for the Annual Highlands Olde Mountain Christmas Parade. Make sure you mark that one on your calendar, especially if you’ve never seen it. It is a small town parade at its finest!!!
Last, but not least, mark some things off of your holiday gift list by doing some shopping right here in the mountains, where you’ll be sure to find the perfect gift for that special someone.
See you soon!

Boosty was just a wonderful part of Mitchell's. She was always around and made the atmosphere as welcoming as everyone else there. We will miss seeing her on our next visit, but I am confident she will send a replacement shortly. I know we are all thankful she was a part of Mitchell's for so many years!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss, as we were just staying there this week. I saw Bootsy on the site, and I remember her especially sitting on the hotel front desk under the bright light. I loved petting her soft fur, and she would just look at me so sweetly. I'm so glad that I got to whisper in her little ears the day before she passed "I love you Bootsy!". I know God must have needed her in heaven to help take care of all the other kitties. She will be greatly missed, but she will always be in our hearts! She is too special to forget! We love you Bootsy! Thank you for making each day at Mitchell's Cottages so special! You are an angel now! Love, Jan B
