VIEWS!
• The views of Gorges State Park are unbelievable. In the winter, while the leaves are down, the surrounding mountain tops glow at dawn and dusk. In the summer you will still have some views through the trees.

LOCATION!
• The property is located just off Hwy 64 at the end of a quiet gravel road and nestled in the woods.
• It adjoins Gorges State Park with waterfall hikes all around. Stroll through the neighborhood and catch full views of Toxaway Falls.
• The “Lake” from where our town was named is just 5 minutes away.
• There are a couple of great restaurants within 5 mins
**Grand Olde Station, Villa Amato, and Los Vaqueros are less than 2 miles away.
**The Greystone Inn is about a 15-minute drive because it’s located on the back side of the lake.
**There is a bakery/coffee shop across from Villa Amato (5 mins away from the house)
• If you just need to pick up a few small grocery items, you might find them in “The Market” which is located next to Villa Amato.
• The two closest (decent sized) grocery stores (Ingles) are both about 25 mins away. One is in Cashiers on Hwy 64 and the other is in Brevard on N. Broad Street). If you are coming through Brevard on the way to the house, it’s probably easiest to stop there.
• You are only 25 minutes to Pisgah National Forest and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

NOTES:
• The bedding is made up of super soft cotton sheets with a feather-down comforter and lots of pillows.
• There is “Ultra High-speed internet” through Comporium with extenders around the house so you don’t lose connection.
• There is special lighting under the railing and along the top of the upper porch.
• Wood for fireplace - We will have enough wood for you to get started but we ask that you provide your own for the duration of your stay.
• Books and Games - We have a great selection of books and family games to entertain all ages.

If you are looking for a beautiful place to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of life, you will surely find refuge in these mountains. Disconnect from the stress of life and reconnect with the ones you love!
