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.

We stayed here Labor Day weekend with my entire family. There were 16 of us and we fit perfectly. All sleeping spots were comfortably taken! After a trek up the mountain we found ourselves in total peace. We brought food so that we didn't have to trek back down the mountain. The kitchen and grill were perfect for many wonderful, homemade meals. The view off the deck was breathtaking and we spent most of our time out there drinking coffee and talking. The dining room table was great for many board games and cards. The kids enjoyed the downstairs playroom with Wii. We set up cornhole games in the backyard. The hot tub had some issues while we were there with shutting off and staying warm. But that is the only issue we had. Everything else was picture PERFECT and Carol and Noe were helpful to work with. They sent out area information that helped us decide what to do the day we came off the mountain. Please know that the house does not have AC but we slept with the windows open and loved the coolness of the mountain air. Thank you for a memorable weekend celebrating my dad's 60th. We would love to stay here again.

We had a terrific stay at Pine Creek Mountain Lodge. I would highly recommend this property. It is actually nicer than than the photos give it credit. The view off the back deck it wonderful, the property is very private and there is plenty to do nearby (Cashiers is about 20 minutes away). While it was just me and my girlfriend staying at the Lodge, it would easily accomodate two other couples plus children. We plan to go back as soon as possible and bring some close friends to enjoy the experience.

Our week long stay for Christmas was wonderful. Ended up having a white Christmas, and even got snowed in for two days. The owners were very accommodating in this inconvienence, allowing our stay til we were able to get plowed out to leave safely. The cabin is a beautiful home, which housed our 16 person family. The grounds and views are just as beautify. Can't wait to come back.

We spent 2 nights in Pine Creek Mountain Lodge to celebrate my father’s 79th birthday in the end of October. My family and friends had a wonderful and very relaxing time here. The lodge sits high up on the mountain – stunning views, peaceful, beautifully located, very spacious and comfortable. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay. My father is retired art professor from Beijing, China. He was so inspired by the tranquil and colorful surroundings, and nonstop doing the sketches. He said he would like to publish them when he returns back to China. Thank you, Carol for the joyful and memorable experience your beautiful place has offered us! Ling

Views and House are Amazing

The views from the deck and hot tub are amazing. I was a bit skeptical of how much elevation you would be able to enjoy from the picture but I was wrong. We were there on a Beautiful Fall Weekend. The Property is set amid a gorgeous track of land. Hammock and stream are Tops for Relaxing. LARGE house where everyone has lots of room to spread out and do their own thing. Log Construction is awe inspiring. Great location near the lake, towns of Cashiers and Highlands. Fun Horseback riding just down the road. A Great find in Cashiers.

This property exceeded our expectations in every way. The lodge is beautifully appointed with every convenience one could desire. The views are stunning. Our family of 14 enjoyed the lodge's amenities, two pontoon outings on Lake Glenville and one horseback ride. We shopped in Cashiers and Highlands. The hammock by the stream and the hot tub were everyone's favorites. What a great place to celebrate 50 years of marriage. Liz and Bill
Owner response:We're so glad you enjoyed your vacation and thank for your kind comments about our home.

Our family relied on the information and photos of the lodge in our decision to select this rental and we were not disappointed. Comments I heard from both adults and young people were, "this is really special, it is the best place we have been." We felt like guests in a very nice home. Our group consited of 8 adults and 5 teenagers. The jacuzzi was a favorite for adults and teens in the evening. We had very special times together at beside the brook at the bottom of the stairs. The front portch was another favorite spot for reading and visiting. We went hiking two days, boating one afternoon and swimming twice. The lodge location on 40 acres gave us privacy and a wonderful forest setting. We expect to return and recommend the lodge to others.

We had a great time staying in this cabin!! There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and lots of additional space to overflow into. The hot tub outside was perfect for those cool nights. There is a nice walk down to the creek and a hammock to lay in and listen to the water. It is very secluded which is nice when you have a large group so you don't worry about bothering anyone else. I would definately recommend this place and will return in the furture!!

What a wonderful home to spend a white Christmas! Our family did and we will long remember the special setting of this beautiful home. Everything was ready for us, the snow (optional), the hot tub (a must), and plenty of fire wood (we used the fireplace non-stop). The property is large and you are secluded with a great view. The space is huge. We had our ten grandchildren and parents, with everyone having a space. The home was beautifully decorated for the holiday. The owners are the best, a wonderful experience! One word of caution, make sure you get the driving directions for the last mile, as all of our GPS units missed the final mark a bit and none of our cell phones worked at the destination. Not to worry, the owner has a land line phone available. With these minor cautions, you will have a wonderful time that we can heartily recommend to all.
