Best places for a long weekend or extended stay?

KEDE, Edenton, NC, is a charming historic town, smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Charming B&Bs, some decent restaurants, tours of historic house museums. Good for a couple of tranquil days or a lifetime. (I wouldn’t recommend much between those. Not for thrill seekers and the party crowd.) No ramp fee, decent fuel prices, hangar space available. Crew car and Enterprise. Garden tour in late April will be worth the trip. OBX an hour away by car. Manteo (MQI) is a fine weekend, much touristy stuff, very near Outer Banks. Cute NC aquarium short stroll from MQI ramp.

Mimi! Great to see your post. I hope you have a houseful of family coming in for Christmas and that your Screamin' is getting a good workout. Merry Christmas.

There’s a ferry that goes there if you want to go by car.

I don't know that I could stomach the thought of driving from Atlanta to the island knowing there's a Mooney that could do it in a 1/4th of the time.  We did think it would be a nice place to take our sailboat to though but again, the thought of driving and towing made me cringe.

I have spent a lot of time in Edenton and can vouch it is a very charming town and awesome B&B's.  There is an excellent bistro downtown called Nothing Fancy Cafe.

Avoid Asheville unless you like paying ridiculous ramp fees.
