Location: Cashiers, Smoky Mountains, North Carolina, USA (2 1/2 Hours from Atlanta, GA; 1 1/2 Hours from Asheville, NC)
Accommodations: Mountain Log Home, 5 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 4.5 Baths (Sleeps 11-17)
Pine Creek Mountain Lodge is our custom log home located at an elevation of 4,200' on 40 wooded acres. The main house is 4,200 square feet with separate garage apartment and is the perfect location for your relaxing vacation, family reunion or weekend getaway. The high elevation means cool breezes all summer long. Pine Creek Mountain Lodge is located 11 miles from Cashiers, 18 miles from Highlands and 12 miles from Franklin -- but once you arrive you won't want to leave, so just bring your groceries and stay a while.
This is the perfect place to relax with family or friends -- plenty of rocking chairs and chaise lounges on the multiple porches and decks; cozy up to the fireplace or wood stove; soak in a large hot tub on a separate deck overlooking the woods; hike through 40 acres of private mountain land where you never know what you will see or find (we found an old moonshine still); enjoy lots of board games & books; watch your favorite shows on satellite TV; relax in the gazebo overlooking a small stream where the kids will love to play; roast hot dogs & marshmallows at the fire pit.
The main house has 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths on 3 levels. The main level includes a great room with fireplace, dining room with table that seats 12, kitchen, master bedroom (queen) & bath and powder room. Lower level has a large playroom (queen sofa bed), 2 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 full), bathroom & laundry room. Upper level includes 1 bedroom (1 full, 1 twin) with balcony, study (twin sofa bed) with balcony and a bathroom. The garage apartment includes living area, full kitchen, bedroom (queen) with balcony & bath.
After you've relaxed for a while there are plenty of nearby activities for everyone -- from great restaurants & shopping to golf, fishing & white water rafting. Lake Glenville with 26 miles of shoreline and the highest elevation lake (3,800') east of the Mississippi is just 2 miles away. Bring your own boat (plenty of room to park boat & trailer) or rent one at the marina and enjoy the beautiful scenery, waterfalls, swimming & fishing.
There are lots of sightseeing opportunities in the area -- Biltmore Mansion in Asheville, Cherokee Indian reservation & Unto These Hills Outdoor Drama in Cherokee, Smokey Mountain Rail Road in Dillsboro; Smokey Mountain National Park. The adults may want to try out Harrah's Casino in Cherokee and the kids will love the sliding rock in Cashiers and gem mining in Franklin.
But then you'll want to come back to your comfortable mountain lodge, watch the sunset from the porch, soak in the hot tub with a glass of wine and grill a steak on the deck while the kids play in the stream until it's time to build a fire and roast marshmallows.
