🌄 Update Around the Lodge

While we don’t have a new renovation update to share this week at the Lodge at Mt. Mitchell, we’ve found something special for you to explore nearby!

🌌 Local Spotlight: Bare Dark Sky Observatory

Just a 35-minute drive from the Lodge, the Bare Dark Sky Observatory is a true hidden gem for stargazers and curious minds. With a 34-inch telescope and crystal-clear, light-pollution-free skies, it’s one of the best places in the Southeast to witness the magic of the night sky. 🌠

📍 Tip: Bring a blanket, relax under the stars, and soak in the quiet wonder of the cosmos—right in the heart of the mountains.
