There are many things to do in the area, take your pick from fantastic restaurants and micro breweries, outdoor sports and activities, terrific antique and furniture malls, fine and rustic arts and crafts museums and galleries, and much more. Asheville is a very laid back and walkable city with lovely vintage architecture to discover.
