With the cold winds blowing and snowflakes falling, you’ll know it’s time for a cozy winter weekend in Davidson, our charming North Carolina town. You’ll experience a warm welcome at Davidson Village Inn, where you can relax and enjoy a glass of wine before snuggling in your comfortable room.
We have fantastic restaurants, fun shops, and a variety of things to do just steps away from the Inn. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, family trip, or college visit, our curated itinerary offers plenty to see, do, and savor this winter.
Friday: Settle In and Unwind
Our friendly staff will check you in with a welcoming smile. You will feel right at home in our cozy rooms with modern amenities. After freshening up, stretch your legs with a stroll around charming downtown Davidson. Visit a few shops or enjoy the idyllic small-town ambiance as you explore.
There are so many choices for dinner, but here are a few recommendations. Sit down for an incredible Italian meal at Il Bosco, enjoy flavorful American dishes packed with local ingredients at Flatiron, or dig into an artisan pizza over at Mandolino’s.

Once you’ve eaten your fill at a fabulous local spot, head to Summit Coffee Company for an after-dinner drink and entertainment. Summit has live music every Friday and Saturday night, spotlighting talented local acts in an intimate atmosphere. Unwind, relax, and listen to the music before strolling back to the Inn for the night.
Saturday: Explore and Indulge
Start your morning with a leisurely breakfast of fresh coffee and pastries from our friends at Famous Toastery, as well as fruit, and cereal. Once you have eaten your fill and fueled up with a cup of locally roasted coffee, you’ll feel fully prepared to take on a day enjoying the beautiful sites and exciting activities around Davidson.
Looking for an outdoor adventure? Bundle up and pull on your hiking boots. There are various scenic hiking and biking trails around Lake Norman, Lake Norman’s State Park, and the Latta Nature Preserve. Regardless of your skill level, there’s a trail for everyone. A brisk walk in the fresh, cool winter air has many benefits, including relieving stress, increasing circulation, and a better, refreshed attitude.

Indulge in Lunch, Art, and a Massage
Stop for a lakeside lunch at Hello Sailor, or spice things up with the Mexican-inspired cuisine at Mestizo. Afterward, we suggest heading over to Davidson College to visit the incredible art galleries and admire the astounding outdoor statues displayed around the campus. If you’re interested in exploring more local artwork, we have plenty of area studios and galleries will amaze and inspire you.
If you’d rather skip the art and head to the peaceful relaxation, head over to Ahlara International to revitalize your mind, body, and spirit. They offer a selection of skin care treatments, unique massage techniques, and healing hot stone massage and reflexology.
