About this property
Gorgeous Lake View Lodge with Private Dock
This incredible vacation log home has expansive decks overlooking beautiful Lake Glenville and is surrounded by 16 ranges of mountains. Take in the beautiful sunsets over the lake as you dine on one of the covered decks or expansive stone while patio sitting around the fire pit. If privacy is what you desire, Heaven's Gate is situated on 8 acres for the kids to run and play. The kids (and adults too) will love the game room which has a pool table, shuffleboard table, and an electronic plastic tipped dartboard as well as a flat screen tv. The expansive living room is right out of a magazine with soaring ceilings and beautiful stone fireplace. Sit by the fire in the morning and sip your coffee or sit on the deck and watch the deer and wild turkey. Walk to your own private dock which awaits you on Lake Glenville, pontoon boat rental is also within walking distance. This fabulous log home is perfect for a romantic getaway for two or a family reunion. Its peacefulness, thus the name Heaven's Gate, also lends itself well for a church retreat. Every bedroom has a beautiful view of the lake and its own bathroom. The master suite with jacuzzi tub, has its own deck with a swing for two. Bring your sweater, it is cool even in the summer at nearly 4000 ft. elevation. The AVERAGE low temperature in July is 59 degrees. It is not uncommon to light a fire in the morning just to take the chill off. This log home does not need air conditioning as the cool nights keep the home cool during the day. Ceiling fans are in every room just in case there is an unusually warm day. There are two bedrooms upstairs both with two queen beds. The master suite downstairs has a king bed. The finished basement has the game room, a king bed and the bunk room has two sets of bunk beds.

Comfortable home! Great location! Amazing memories made!
Spent a week with my husband, our siblings and our nieces and nephew. Great central location to all of our favorite things to do in the Cashiers, Highlands, Glenville area. Thank you for sharing your cozy home!
Lovely home and views. We made a fire most nights in the fire pit. Plenty of room for our family of 11. Close enough to Cashiers for grocery and restaurants. Great family trip.
Absolutely breathtaking piece of property! It provided the perfect views, peace and comfort we have been looking for. We had wonderful time with our family and friends by the fire and spent numerous hours on the porch swing.

Wonderful family vacation home.
Thank you for supplying such a beautiful place for our family vacation. Your home is wonderful, the views are fabulous and the location is perfect. I love that we are not in a big tourist area but can take advantages of the special activities in the mountains - pontoon boat ride, hiking to amazing waterfalls, gem mining (Old Cardinal Mine was perfect), hayride (The Old Fort Lodge) was so much fun and of course a bit of antiquing. Great time was had by all.
This cabin sits on a mountain pasture and looks out over Glenville lake. The sunsets and star gazing are amazing. We had 5 kids ages 9-15 with us and they loved the pool table and great playroom. We had a big whiffle ball game out in the big yard, followed by dinner and a camp fire. A great spot!
We get together every year ages 4-50. We have lots of boys ages 9-15 and they absolutely loved the huge lawn to play football and capture the flag. Spectacular views from the porch and extremely private. Highly recommend!
Our family had a wonderful time and look forward to staying again! Lots of space, close to the lake and Cashiers, we saw bears a few nights on property and lots of other wildlife, and enjoyed the firepit every night. The house does not have AC, which we didn't realize, but the owner was quick to respond during checkin and once the temps dropped in the afternoon, we had no problems (there are lots of fans to keep the air moving during the day). We would absolutely stay here again!
We had a group of 9 stay here for an extended weekend for a lake and golf trip. The home was large enough to comfortably sleep all 9. The deck has beautiful views of the lake and sunset. Large front yard with wildlife. Close to the marina where we rented a boat for the day to enjoy the lake. We enjoyed out stay and Susan was a great host.
So much room!!! Each family had their own room and bathroom, plenty of group space too! The house has gorgeous views and something for everyone. The kids loved the game room, and the basement with the pool table. The location was close to everything, great hikes, grocery store, a cute downtown Cashiers only a 10 minute drive. We will definitely be back!
