I guarantee the houses in that link are very upscale, as is that community...
As for MV, the OP said they wanted to see some snow/ski are: Cataloochee has that, most of the winter.
I wasn't pitching MV per se, but I appreciate your expertise...
I have been to 'Aspen/Vail' several times: there is nothing like that in western NC.
The closest to Aspen/Vail is going to be Blowing Rock and Highlands/Cashiers.

I agree. We spent some really good times here. https://www.meadowbrook-inn.com/ Imagine having cherry donuts on that deck. We did that on our anniversary which is October 10th. Everybody else was inside but we wore our coats and took our coffee and donuts outside to the deck. It was magical.

Very helpful information MD. Thank you.
I'm not sure why people have to pick apart other people's suggestions. The OP asked and other posters answered based on their opinions and experience. For some reason, other posters have to come in and put down the previous answers as if the people who posted them are just making things up.
Seriously, we get posters who complain because they come here and ask questions that don't get answered, but when someone tries to be helpful with information, other posters jump in to say how wrong the answers are, even though that is only THEIR opinion.

So one can't express their opinion on someone else's opinion? Really? I'm asking sincerely; that just seems strange to me, and greatly limits the potential for the exchange of information.
What if person A asks for a great indian restaurant, and Person B replies with the name of a chinese restaurant, but it isn't obvious from the name what kind of is served. If I know it a chinese restaurant do I just post nothing and let person A show up at the restaurant and be disappointed? Its not ok to post something telling them that its really a chinese restaurant?

I agree completely! A forum should be a free exchange of ideas. People are often going to have differing opinions. It's up to the OP to take these opinions and make his/her decision based on these. It is a proven fact that diversity of opinion results in higher quality decisions.

Opinions are fine, but it seems like so many posts here are immediately jumped on and the person who posted it is basically told they are stupid. What you are referring to is apples to oranges to what I am referring to.
OP: "Nice small WNC mountain towns recommendations please"
Poster 1: "I like Boone, it's a great town"
Poster 2: "Boone isn't a small town, it has a college and too much traffic. Plus it's cold. Blowing Rock is a nice small town"
Poster 3: "Canton is great!"
Poster 4: "Yeah, but paper plant, ugh, yuck, gross. Hendersonville is much better"
Poster 5: "I love Brevard, it's a great small town"
Poster 6: "Brevard is too far from Asheville and it's hot and gross and Mills River is so much better".
All of the above hit what the OP is looking for and none of them are in VA or TN, but instead of just sharing the places that fit what the OP is looking for, they have to make sure to make a negative comment (usually making sure they show how much more they know about the area than the previous poster) about one of the previous suggestions.
