There is strength in civility. 🤝 Here's an exclusive clip from Blue Ridge, all-new Wednesday at 8p ET on Western Bound.
Behind the scenes at the Blue Ridge Mountain Parade of Homes bag stuffing party! 🎒🏡
Every year, an incredible team of volunteers and local builders—including teams like Sisum Homes—come together to get everything ready for tour weekend.
Inside every goodie bag, you get:
The official Parade Magazine (with the full home lineup, map, and sponsor guides)
Vendor gear (koozies, coasters, brochures)
And yes… the essential shoe booties for touring these luxury mountain builds!
Tickets go fast every single year. Drop a “PARADE” in the comments, and I’ll send you the direct link to grab your tickets and plan your route before they sell out! ⬇️
Which home style are you most excited to see this year—modern rustic or classic mountain cabin?

Crisp air, colorful leaves, and the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge 🍂 what better way to spend a fall day than at Biltmore?
📹: Fall color, 2025
From sunrise over the ridgeline to evenings beneath the stars, autumn brings some of Primland’s most memorable moments. Sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views, a morning hike through golden forests, a round on The Highland Course, and a glass of wine enjoyed as the last light lingers across the horizon.

Fall is starting to show on the Blue Ridge Parkway! 🍂

RIDING THE BLUE RIDGE SCENIC RAILWAY? SAVE THIS! HERE ARE 6 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!
Y’all have been asking questions about our fall foliage train ride, so here are the answers — including how to book when TikTok says SOLD OUT!
1. BATHROOMS? YES! There are 12 bathrooms on board, so you don’t have to wait until the train stops!
2. SNACKS? YES! There’s a General Store ON the train selling drinks, snacks and souvenirs.
3. LUNCH? You can pre-order box lunches. We tried the turkey and chicken salad sandwiches. They were fine, BUT here’s my recommendation:
SKIP THE BOX LUNCH AND EAT AT THE RUM CAKE LADY! Authentic Cuban food, delicious Cuban sandwiches and some of the BEST rum cakes in Georgia!
📍 The Rum Cake Lady Cuban Café
10 Blue Ridge Dr., McCaysville, GA
4. OPEN-AIR OR ENCLOSED? OPEN-AIR for me! That mountain breeze is EVERYTHING. Just know there’s no AC, so bring a portable fan when it’s warm.
5. ACCESSIBLE? YES! My mom has mobility issues, and the staff helped her on and off using a hydraulic lift in the accessible car. Contact the railway ahead of time about your specific needs.
6. TIKTOK SAYS SOLD OUT? Check the official railway website! TikTok availability doesn’t always reflect direct booking availability.
🔗 OFFICIAL BOOKING LINK IN MY BIO!
📍 Blue Ridge Scenic Railway
241 Depot St., Blue Ridge, GA

BONUS: On the four-hour ride, you get TWO HOURS to explore McCaysville, GA and Copperhill, TN. Don’t miss your photo at the state line!
