Jill and I spent a couple of nights in Burnsville, NC. This small mountain town is about 40 miles north of Asheville and an hour south of Johnson City, TN. We stayed at the restored Nu-Wray Inn that was first built in 1833 and recently renovated top to bottom. Literally the bottom as they are turning the basement into a “speakeasy.” We had a lovely dinner here and excellent breakfasts that were provided with our lodging. We also ate a really good meal at the Pig & Grits a long-time local favorite BBQ. It was super clean, generous portions and really good food.
