Situated at an elevation of 3,500 feet, the Balsam Mountain Inn was built to serve travelers passing through the Balsam Gap depot, one of the highest railroad stations in the southeast. To accommodate steamer trunks, the hotel's rooms and corridors were built extra wide. A restoration in 1991 added private baths, but the inn's spacious layout and ample, 100-foot-long porches were preserved. Vintage furniture, an original mansard roof, and an absence of TVs and other noisy distractions serve as a nostalgic reminder of the past.</p> <p>Each of the 50 <a href="http://gr.pn/wGQ1fp">guest rooms</a> is decorated in different colors, textures, and furnishings. Stationed just off the lobby, room 100 evokes country elegance with pink iron bed frames, rosebud bedding, and a diamond-studded butter churn. Suite 334, a two-room lodging on the third floor, features a palette of greens and reds, complemented by whitewashed wooden floors and a wall tapestry depicting a farm scene. In suite 310's plum-colored bathroom, a claw-foot tub stands next to a rope hammock. </p> <p>While the menu varies by day, a complimentary breakfast may include blueberry waffles and bacon served in the wood-appointed <a href="http://gr.pn/xxzZAF">dining room</a>. À la carte meals can also be savored on the adjoining dining porch, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame vistas of a sprawling, verdant lawn. The restaurant also hosts Songwriters-in-the-Round, a long-running music series that features performances from Grammy Award–winning Nashville artists. </p> <h4>Balsam, North Carolina: Small Mountain Town Minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway</h4> <p>The small town of Balsam¬ is tucked between the Plott Balsams and Great Balsam Mountains, 40 miles west of Asheville. Twenty-four acres of wooded hiking trails surround the inn, and an entrance to the <a href="http://gr.pn/ei58Ji">Blue Ridge Parkway</a> lies just a half-mile away. One of the country's most popular scenic drives, the road winds along the lavender spine of the Blue Ridge Peaks and through the fog of the Great Smoky Mountains, passing wildflower meadows and ziplining elk along the way. More than 100 hiking trails branch off the parkway, including the Appalachian Trail, which stretches all the way from Georgia to Maine. </p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p></p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/g1g-balsam-mountain-inn-raleigh">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=5kACLwxFw94:CbFlcMQdj4g:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=5kACLwxFw94:CbFlcMQdj4g:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=5kACLwxFw94:CbFlcMQdj4g:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?i=5kACLwxFw94:CbFlcMQdj4g:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/g1g-balsam-mountain-inn-raleigh http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/g1g-balsam-mountain-inn-raleigh Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:01:58 +0000 Zoom!

Andreaus, DDS, Five Points practices individualized care with an artful eye toward creating pleasing smiles. The Zoom! whitening treatment is designed for safe, immediate shade-shifting results of up to 6–10 shades. The quick, pain-free process takes a little more than 45 minutes and involves the application of a scientifically formulated gel that activates under a specially designed Zoom! light. Clients can feel free to kick back and relax as the gel targets discolorations and transforms smiles from sparkling to most sparklingist. After a quick five-minute fluoride treatment, patients are fully armed with instant brightness that can last for years to come. Much like building a cubicle, the entire process takes place in-office. However, to remain at the pinnacle of pearliness, clients can opt for the custom take-home trays and touchup kit. Before treatment, patients relax in Five Points' outer rooms, which double as <a href="http://www.gallerya-nc.com/">Gallery A</a>, a space exhibiting local and international artists' work.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Office Icebreakers</p><p>Is lack of self-confidence contagious? </p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/five-points-center-for-aesthetic-dentistry">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=buSW8uwFJ_8:fLD-_SdEHzk:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=buSW8uwFJ_8:fLD-_SdEHzk:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=buSW8uwFJ_8:fLD-_SdEHzk:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?i=buSW8uwFJ_8:fLD-_SdEHzk:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/five-points-center-for-aesthetic-dentistry http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/five-points-center-for-aesthetic-dentistry Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:01:52 +0000 $125 for Two-Month Workshop Membership and Six Hours of Classes at TechShop RDU (Up to $378 Value) <img align="right" alt="$125 for Two-Month Workshop Membership and Six Hours of Classes at TechShop RDU (Up to $378 Value)" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1989/4996/TechShop-RDU_-LLC-4.jpg" width="120" /><p>Invention is 10% inspiration, 85% perspiration, 10% determination, 10% inspiration, and 10% determination.

Along the way, tour takers fill glasses with samples of the winery's seven muscadine varietals. Furthermore, the tour works to open taste buds to the art of pairing with a tray of cheese and crackers. The Ruth Walton semisweet red wine marvelously compliments the provided platter of noshables, and the vineyard's dry Bald Eagle white wine pairs well with lightly sautéed American currency. At the end of the excursion, patrons can then pluck up their favorite varietals to take home with them and enjoy at a later time.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Writing an Urban Legend</p><p>Can I make an urban legend from soap?</p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/dc-val-gregory-vineyards">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=Dg4O4H5rSX8:sp5UiKA5G6Q:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=Dg4O4H5rSX8:sp5UiKA5G6Q:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=Dg4O4H5rSX8:sp5UiKA5G6Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?i=Dg4O4H5rSX8:sp5UiKA5G6Q:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/dc-val-gregory-vineyards http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/dc-val-gregory-vineyards Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:01:40 +0000 Zumba or Hip-Hop Cardio Classes at Love 2 Dance Fitness, LLC in Fayetteville (Up to 75% Off).

These dunes can be seen across miles of ocean, which once made them a beacon for mariners. Today, the dunes are a mainstay attraction at Jockey's Ridge State Park for more than a million people yearly, as shifting winds constantly morph the surface and shape of the dunes. Five miles south on the Nags Head Causeway, Oasis Suites commands panoramic views of the surrounding windswept coastlines—a romantic hideaway set amid unspoiled wilderness.</p> <p>The region's wild beauty comes into focus in the hotel's roomy <a href="http://gr.pn/wdrcX3">suites</a>, all of which feature picture windows that overlook the Roanoke Sound. Each floor plan is unique, with furniture chosen to complement its features, such as polished wood tables and dimpled leather couches. </p> <p>The romantic package is full of goodies to help couples set the mood. The suites feature a whirlpool tub, and candles and bath salts can accentuate a relaxing atmosphere. Each room's king or queen bed comes strewn with silk rose petals, and guests can toast with a bottle of champagne or sparkling cider. For an added treat, in-suite couples massages are available for $160 per couple but must be reserved prior to arrival.</p> <p>A boardwalk extends out into the sound from the hotel; couples can stroll the walkway and snuggle up under the canopy of the charming gazebo or try to go fishing for seafood and tuxedoed waiters to help create their own romantic dinner. Just minutes down the causeway, Bodie Island's pristine beaches stretch for miles in either direction, inviting long, leisurely walks.</p> <h4>North Carolina's Outer Banks: Coastal Wilds Rich with History</h4> <p>The iconic sand dunes at Jockey's Ridge State Park—located about five minutes south of the Oasis Suites—helped earn National Natural Landmark status in 1974. It's one of the many swatches of protected land and historical landmarks located along North Carolina's Outer Banks.</p> <p>The notorious Edward Teach—better known as Blackbeard—is said to have roamed the waters off Hatteras Island in the 18th century, and may have contributed to some of the hundreds of shipwrecks for which the Outer Banks used to be infamous. Visitors can examine the region's history through its shipwrecks at the <a href="http://graveyardoftheatlantic.com/">Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum</a> on Cape Hatteras. The drive from Oasis Suites to the museum is an attraction in itself; the highway runs for more than 60 miles along a gorgeous strip of protected national seashore between the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Along the same road, more than 365 species of birds and natural geysers of Campbell's soup inhabit the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge.</p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p></p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/dc-val-ga-m-oasis-suites">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=QMyN3JqVvyg:shHJUknohnw:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=QMyN3JqVvyg:shHJUknohnw:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=QMyN3JqVvyg:shHJUknohnw:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?i=QMyN3JqVvyg:shHJUknohnw:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/dc-val-ga-m-oasis-suites http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/dc-val-ga-m-oasis-suites Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:01:21 +0000 $12 for $25 Worth of UPS Shipping, Copying, Printing Services, and Custom Packing at The UPS Store #2842 in Fayetteville <img align="right" alt="$12 for $25 Worth of UPS Shipping, Copying, Printing Services, and Custom Packing at The UPS Store #2842 in Fayetteville" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1988/7577/The-UPS-Store-2.jpg" width="120" /><p>Some belongings just don't belong in a home, such as old bloodsport trophies and the blacksmith apprentice you'll "get around" to teaching about smelting.

The effects of this thorough exfoliation—including more even skin texture and a softening of fine lines—can multiply over the course of six treatments. </p> <p>Alternately, opt for a signature facial, and proficient aestheticians will follow up a single microdermabrasion by choosing skin elixirs to suit your complexion. A thorough cleansing with <a href="http://www.dermalogica.com/us/">Dermalogica</a> products is followed by a warm steam, which works to clear pores and erase residue from recent pie-eating contests.

Mouths will mambo to the Mediterranean flavors of the garlic pretzel, a perfect treat to submerge into a dunk tank of marinara or one of the other available <a href="http://gr.pn/hFqdpV">dips</a> ($0.75+).

In order to prevail against the course's 20–25 physical and mental challenges, participants must scurry up dirt hills and stomp their way through a watered-down motocross track. Contestants will also have to flex their brains' biceps while solving puzzles that reward correct answers with easier paths and penalize incorrect answers with disciplinary parent-teacher conferences. Participants can only move on to the next checkpoint once everyone on their team has finished the current challenge; failure to complete challenges as a team can result in having to carry additional weight to the next checkpoint, such as bags of hog feed or granite statues of Jack LaLanne. </p> <p>After competitors race across the finish line wearing dirt and relieved smiles, they receive T-shirts, free sandwiches, and color-coded wristbands for each challenge they successfully completed. Gladiators donning the most wristbands at the hot-pit after party may reap the benefits of special party privileges, such as personal congratulations from the Hog Girls or surgical attachment of off-roading tires. </p><h3>Groupon Says</h3><p>The Groupon Guide to: Airport Security</p><p>Which government employees will edit your screenplay?</p><p><a href="http://www.groupon.com/deals/dirty-hog-raleigh">Read more...</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=zUmyDsBfV-8:LglD9r4fiQs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=zUmyDsBfV-8:LglD9r4fiQs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?a=zUmyDsBfV-8:LglD9r4fiQs:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/GrouponRaleigh-durham?i=zUmyDsBfV-8:LglD9r4fiQs:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/dirty-hog-raleigh http://groupon.com/raleigh-durham/deals/dirty-hog-raleigh Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:01:02 +0000 $249 for a Platinum Resurfacing Package for 300 Square Feet of Hardwood Floors from Fabulous Floors ($537 Value) <img align="right" alt="$249 for a Platinum Resurfacing Package for 300 Square Feet of Hardwood Floors from Fabulous Floors ($537 Value)" src="http://www.groupon.com/images/site_images/1983/8140/Fabulous-Floors.jpg" width="120" /><p>Home remodeling, like an earthquake, dramatically changes what it feels like to sit in one's living room.
