Ok, so Asheville isn't exactly dirty, but the city's four star resort, <a href="http://www.groveparkinn.com"><b>The Grove Park Inn</b></a> will definitely be a craftin'. <p>Running through June 6th, the hotel will display 80 booths boasting true American crafts. And they are offering package deals for these crafty weekend getaways for you to choose from.<p> If crafting or golf isn't in your interest, let's hope the Blue Ridge Mountains or the hotel's extensive spa will suffice. If that still doesn't get you excited, the cool cave-like pool is definitely worth the dip. <p>Built in 1913 the hotel seems to be a local favorite but can end up getting pricey.
