About this property

Newly Renovated, Mountain Home With Spectacular Lake & Mts Views, Cashiers, NC

Our Mountain Laurel Cottage is located between the towns of Cashiers and Glenville in western North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains. Because the home is situated at an elevation of 3,800 ft., spring and summer temperatures are cool and comfortable.

What's more, autumn's lush foliage are particularly spectacular in this part of the US. This charming, cozy - and recently updated - home is a perfect getaway for people who enjoy the serenity of its private setting, but also want to be close to grocery stores, beautiful waterfalls, farmers' markets, marinas, golf courses, hiking trails, antique shops, and more.

In fact, it's only a short five-minute drive into downtown Cashiers and just 20 minutes to lovely Highlands, NC.

We recently purchased this home and have completed all the renovations except some small cosmetic changes we will be making. We have replaced and expanded all the upper and lower decks to include two covered deck areas. One has a stone fireplace with gas logs and the other large 16x28 foot area will have a large fire table and wall-mounted patio heaters.

The views are impressive from the living room area two lower bedrooms and the outside decks making our home a great getaway with a true mountain feel.

We are members of Sapphire Valley Community Resort which is 6 miles from our home and offers a large selection of amenities such as pools, saunas, spas, golf, tennis, put-put golf, weight room, heated indoor pool, and much more.

Just ask and we can get you guest passes to use the amenities for free and discounts on other activities.

Warm and cozy!
This place was welcoming, inviting, and perfect for a weekend sneakaway. Fire pits and fireplaces all over, and perfect views of Lake Glenville! As much as I want the lake to be a “secret”, everyone should go and visit.

Happiest New Year!!
Really enjoyed our stay in this cozy and comfortable home with a stunning view! Really liked the open floor plan since we did some cooking and watching of ball games. The dining table was really comfortable for meals and playing cards. Enjoyed the pool table downstairs! Weather was pretty cold so didn't use the outdoor spaces as much as we would have liked but hoping to be back in the spring. Conveniently close to Cashiers and had some fun there! Hosts were easily reachable and kind with answers to questions. A lovely stay, thank you!

Review of cabin of David and Mary Scarborough at Lake Glenville
We stayed at David and Mary's lake cabin over Thanksgiving and enjoyed it very much. The kitchen is well stocked with nice pots, pans, and cooking utensils and the stove/oven works very well. Very nice dishes and platters for our dinners. The view and decks are extremely nice. Very comfortable beds and nice bath and towels. You can tell they have furnished it with top rate items and furniture. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Cabin with amazing view
This is a little slice of heaven with an unobstructed expansive view overlooking Lake Glenville and the surrounding mountains. There are many wonderful outdoor spaces, each one as beautiful as the last. A true North Carolina cabin, very comfortable and well equipped. Our second stay and we can't wait to go back.

About the host

Hosted by David & Mary Scarborough

Host profile image
We feel fortunate to have lived in many wonderful places throughout our individual and collectives lives - Michigan, Connecticut, DC, Maryland, South Carolina, Arizona, Germany, England and more.

And while we enjoyed them all, we fell in love with this area, and after spending summers here in NC and winters in AZ, we decided to pull up stakes in AZ and make this area our permanent home.

We purchased this beauty home in 2019 and are currently working hard to complete our renovations on this gem. We've accomplished a great deal already, but still have some cosmetic touches and to finish.

We are independent business & marketing consultants - as well as writers/authors with three published books - and as long as we have computers and an Internet connection, we’re in business! So, we get to sit on our porch, listen to music and laughter from folks enjoying their time on Lake Glenville, breathe in the cool mountain air, watch critters, and view the lush foliage that comes with our deciduous rain forests area. We are fortunate people!

Why they chose this property

Nestled at 3,850 feet, our home provides mild, cool summer days while offering spellbinding vistas of Lake Glenville and the majestic Great Smoky Mountains.

Easily accessible in a quiet neighborhood with welcoming neighbors, it boasts unparalleled convenience. It is a mere four-minute drive from the charming downtown Cashiers and surrounded by a host of amenities just a few miles in every direction.

Our local marina, a mere two miles away, affords a variety of exhilarating water sports, while shopping, golfing, hiking, waterfalls, and countless other attractions lie within minutes of our doorstep. We love our home and we are sure you will as well.

What makes this property unique

Our sophisticated, "shabby chic" home is being entirely renovated & updated without losing its original mountain charms (e.g. wood beamed cathedral ceilings, wood plank floors & walls, etc.).

You'll find a well-equipped kitchen, beautiful, wool Persian rugs; wood floors; a pool table; separate laundry room; large wrap around covered decks with amazing views, etc.
