Asheville NC and 130 miles north of Atlanta. There is something quite
spectacular, even spiritual, about the mountains surrounding Andrews and the valley they cradle. Andrews NC is
framed by the Snowbird Mountains on the north, the Valley River mountains on the
south and the Nantahala's on the East.
If you want a quiet small town getaway for rafting, fishing, hiking or just peace and quiet, Andrews North
Carolina will meet your needs. There is virtually no hustle and bustle or nightlife in Andrews. |
