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.

The home was spotless and very well equipped throughout. Our host left detailed easy to follow instructions on things in the house. The views were awesome and I loved that there were many choices for seating and enjoying a fire and a scenic view outside. Beds were very comfortable as was the seating in the living room and dining area. We had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway in the mountains. When in town Happs Place is a great place for dinner and music. The area is beautiful and we hope to return soon!

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.
