Area Attractions

There is plenty to see and do. The Western North Carolina/Upstate South Carolina area is well known for its natural beauty, artist communities and recreational facilities. We are located adjacent to DuPont State Forest, Jones Gap and Caesar's Head State Parks, a part of the 10,000-acre Mountain Bridge Wilderness area, a protected environment for many rare and endangered plant and animal species. Pentimento is a great base for exploring the surrounding area whether it's hiking to one of our many waterfalls or a short excursion to sightsee, antique, shop, and dine in Brevard, Hendersonville or Asheville. And, of course, some come to Pentimento simply to enjoy a quiet read sitting on the porch.
