Welcome to our home town. Lansing is a beautiful place full of smiling, friendly faces. Located in the Appalachian Mountains in rural northwestern Ashe County, North Carolina, Lansing is a growing community of tightly knit neighbors and a wonderful place to just relax, take things a little slower, and to get away from the hectic life of the big cities.

Lansing's classic small town setting is enhanced by the surrounding rolling hills and the stunning natural beauty of Pheonix Mountain (elevation 4,170 feet) in the background, as well as the homes dotting the narrow, tree lined streets behind downtown.

We have shops such as Main Street Discount which attract people from all over, and the Liars Bench, a charming shop that offers artwork, antiques, and hand made crafts by local artisens for sale.

Located just miles from White Top Virginia the area is a wonderful place to visit if you are interested in biking on the Virginia Creeper trail. The town of Lansing has recently added a paved walking and bicycle trail that follows the path of the Virginia Creeper train. Lansing is just fourty-five minutes from Boone, less than an hour from Mountain City, TN, and Abingdon, VA.

We have festivals year round for all ages and interests including the annual Ola Belle Reed Festival, a weekend of fun and music celebrating the life of an amazing musician.

If you would like to come visit, or are just passing through, we would love it if you stopped and saw what this great town has to offer! Thanks for looking, and feel free to take some time and explore the site. Be sure and check the blog often for news and announcements about upcoming events!
