We get it — holiday travel can be hectic. If you’re planning a winter getaway, here’s a tip: Jackson County, NC’s “Secret Season” runs from January through March.

During this time, enjoy fewer crowds and shorter (or no) wait times at the most popular restaurants. Plus, hotels and bed-and-breakfasts offer some of their best deals of the year.

You can smell the crisp mountain air, soak in wide-open views, and explore peaceful hikes. It’s like having the mountains all to yourself.
