I am going to spend Thanksgiving in the mountains of North Carolina. I am going to take nine people with me and this will be first come first serve. There is so much to see and so much to do whether they're will be 3 feet of snow or none.
Cost: $300 per person covers cabin rental, and breakfast each day.
We can carpool or rent a van to drive together
There will be a sign-up sheet for Thanksgiving dinner, we will all cook and share together.
We will stay in a four bedroom home with shared rooms. I found us a beautiful place up in the mountains where we can hike, grill out on the deck, have a huge bonfire and so much more.
