Partner Spotlight: TailGait Market

Carolina Mornings is partnering with the TailGait Market to provide discount coupons for our guests, especially the furry ones!

The holistic approach to pet health
TailGait Market provides customers with everything a happy pet needs to stay healthy. Offering goodies for both dogs and cats, the store has well researched natural foods, including ingredients for raw diets, and treats such as local cookies from Dancin' Dog and WesMeister Bakeries. And to keep their minds and mouths busy, lots of toys and chewies are available. There's also top line beds, accessories, and grooming supplies.

Nutrition expertise on hand
Fresh quality food and supplements are the specialty at TailGait Market. Andrea, the owner of the shop, has an educational background in nutrition and food science. Coupled with her longtime affinity for training and showing dogs, her valuable knowledge led to her desire to help people improve their pets' lives with healthy food.

Carolina Mornings loves your pet too
Now you can bring the whole family with you on your mountain retreat! Many of the vacation rental properties offered by Carolina Mornings are pet-friendly. We realize that staying at an Asheville hotel, even if it does allow pets, can be inconvenient for pet owners. An Asheville vacation rental cabin gives you the freedom to spoil your pet while away from home, offering yard and deck space for lots of play time. And as we well know, because we, too, have pampered pets, a happy best friend equals a happy human!

A convenient location
The TailGait Market is located just a few blocks off of Interstate 240 in West Asheville. The easiest way to get there is via Patton Avenue, also known as Highway 23/19. You'll find the store just behind the Zaxby's food chain at 328 New Leicester Highway.

Carolina Mornings Recognized as NC Green Travel Partner; First Vacation Rental Designation in North Carolina



We are thrilled to announce that Carolina Mornings has received the designation of NC Green Travel Partner from the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources. The designation is part of the NC Green Travel Initiative, North Carolina’s first statewide sustainable travel recognition program.

Carolina Mornings is the first vacation rental company in the state to receive the designation. We have been recognized for three of our luxury vacation properties in Western North Carolina: Black Bear Cabin, located in Black Mountain, Hidden Pond, located in Asheville, and Red Wolf, located in Fletcher.

“At Carolina Mornings, we are committed to upholding the highest standard of excellence for our guests while lessening the environmental impact of our properties,” said Shari Goldstein, President of Carolina Mornings.  “We are honored to be recognized by the state of North Carolina for our efforts and will continue to be leaders in green living to protect our environment for generations to come.”

NC Green Travel Partner designations are awarded through a sustainability certification process that requires us to develop and maintain certain environmental practices and by adopting and adhering to an environmental policy standard.
