So we've heard the tunes of Widespread Panic and Michael Houser, but there are many more interesting people around the area... one of them being Robby Benson. Okay, so the name might not light a spark, but his accomplishments will.
Actor and director Robby Benson isn't a native to the High Country, but taught at Appalachian State for a long while. Though credited for many movies such as Ice Castles and Ode to Billy Joe, Benson will never be able to shake this family favorite... he was the voice for the Beast in Beauty and the Beast! As he's spoken about what all the film taught him, Benson began to mature and moved onto bigger projects which include directing and writing.
Now, Benson is still in the business and his most recent works were actually voices in other Disney movies (maybe he just found his niche!) Coming back to the High Country every once in awhile, teaching at Appalachian was definitely a memorable experience.
DO NOT USE HIGH COUNTRY CABIN RENTALS!!!! I stayed at one of their rentals called "The Dusty Boot" in NC & this is what happened! Where on the list do I start?? The dead rotten smell in the basement, the broken pool table, the fact that EVERYDAY we were disturbed by unannounced people working on the house. The fact that there was mouse poop EVERYWHERE!!! When we EXPECTED a refund we were told by the High Country Cabin Rentals they would fight for us, what they ended up doing was NOTHING for us AT ALL!!! It was the MOST unrelaxed vacation I EVER went on. No one wanted to help us, I'll be calling my lawyer & credit card company this week. TOTALLY not worth it! Go to another rental company & different house! This company only wants your money apparently they don't care about customer service...I have audio & video of everything & every conversation, get in touch, I'll be more then happy to tell you what a POS they are!!!! I'll be taking them to court so this doesnt happen to YOU!
