Readers' Choice Awards 2004

Earn a chance to win a vacation at a resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains by sharing with us your favorite places in the South.

Nothing beats the summer heat like a trip to the mountains, especially when it combines spectacular scenery with a cool resort where you can relax and recharge.

As part of the Southern Living Readers' Choice Awards 2004, we're offering a fabulous four-day, three-night stay at The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa in Asheville, North Carolina. The trip for two includes air transportation (some restrictions may apply); dinner two nights, breakfast three mornings; one spa treatment per person; and one daytime ticket to Butmore Estate per person. The lucky winner also has a chance at a bonus prize of $1,000.

Nestled into the mountains that surround Asheville, The Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa blends the rustic look of old stone with luxurious facilities. From the grotto-like spa to the golf course, tennis courts, and sports complex, this rejuvenating retreat invites you to settle in and enjoy. Spend all of your time at the resort, though, and you'll miss another one of Asheville's famous attractions-Biltmore Estate.

The 250-room French-style chateau at Biltmore Estate is the largest house ever built in this country. You can easily spend a day exploring the grounds, which cover an astounding 8,000 acres and include the mansion, 75 acres of gardens, an inn, three restaurants, and a winery. A tour takes you through the elegantly furnished rooms of half the house, the gardens and conservatory, the winery, and the newly opened historic horse barn.

All you have to do for a chance to win the trip is visit our Web site, southernliving.com (AOL Keyword: Southern Living), and fill out the online ballot before October 1, 2004. You will be automatically entered in the contest.
