There are plenty of opportunities for hiking, camping, visiting historic sites, enjoying a breath taking waterfall or wandering the streets of a sleepy mountain town. A traditional timber frame is right at home in this part of the state, whether it’s an outdoor kitchen, a gazebo or your new house. Incorporating a natural post or beam cut from a tree on your property makes it even more special.

Both cities offer stimulating nightlife, historic sites to visit, unique art, a variety of music, and distinctive shopping choices. Sports fans can take in a game or explore the Sports Hall of Fame.

Outer Banks
North Carolina’s Outer Banks is a 130-mile stretch of barrier islands made up of quaint towns and pristine beaches. Whether you want to visit the site of the Wright brothers’ first powered flight, the country’s tallest brick lighthouse, a wildlife refuge or stroll through beautiful gardens, this is an ideal spot for you.
