About this property

Fern Cliff at Trillium - Outdoor Fireplace + Club Access - Near Lake Glenville

Welcome to Fern Cliff, your family’s home in the mountains.

Tucked inside the beautiful Trillium community in Cashiers, North Carolina, Fern Cliff is designed for the kind of mountain getaway where the house becomes part of the vacation. Spend your mornings with coffee on the deck, afternoons exploring Cashiers and Lake Glenville, and evenings gathered around the outdoor fireplace in the covered pavilion, sharing dinner, drinks, stories and s’mores.

With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and sleeping accommodations for up to 10 guests, Fern Cliff is especially well suited for families and groups who want plenty of space to be together while still having room to spread out.

THE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE
The heart of Fern Cliff is the covered outdoor pavilion and fireplace.

This is where you'll likely spend your evenings—gathering around the fire, watching the game or a movie, grilling dinner and enjoying the cool mountain air. The pavilion provides a true outdoor living room that can be enjoyed well beyond the summer months.

The home also offers multiple outdoor spaces for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation and taking in the peaceful Trillium surroundings.

YOUR HOME IN THE MOUNTAINS
Inside, Fern Cliff combines the comfort of a well-appointed family home with everything you need for a relaxing mountain stay.

The kitchen is stocked for real meals and family gatherings, with plenty of space to prepare breakfast before heading out for the day or a dinner to enjoy together at home.

The main living areas provide comfortable gathering spaces, while the home's four bedrooms give everyone a place to settle in at the end of the day.

Sleeping arrangements include:

King bedroom with en-suite bathroom
Family suite: King bedroom with connecting bunk room
Additional bedroom accommodations
Additional twin sleeping accommodations
3.5 bathrooms

Please note that the connecting bunk room is accessed through the king bedroom, making this arrangement particularly well suited to families traveling with children.

TRILLIUM CLUB ACCESS
Fern Cliff offers optional access to Trillium's club amenities, giving guests the opportunity to experience even more of what makes this community special.

Depending on availability and current club policies, guests may be able to enjoy amenities and activities such as golf, tennis, pickleball, dining and lake-related experiences.

We'll provide information after booking about available access, reservations and how to make the most of your time at Trillium.

Club amenities, access and availability are subject to current Trillium policies and seasonal operating schedules.

EXPLORE CASHIERS & LAKE GLENVILLE
Fern Cliff is an ideal home base for exploring the Cashiers area.

Spend a day on or around Lake Glenville, explore nearby waterfalls and hiking trails, browse the shops and restaurants in Cashiers, or simply stay home and enjoy the mountain air.

Whether your ideal vacation involves hiking and exploring or barely leaving the property, Fern Cliff makes it easy to do both.

PERFECT FOR FAMILIES
Fern Cliff was created with families in mind.

There's room for everyone to gather, comfortable sleeping arrangements for children and adults, a well-equipped kitchen, outdoor living space and plenty of opportunities to make the house itself part of the vacation.

Bring a favorite board game, gather around the fire, cook a big breakfast and let the kids enjoy the freedom of mountain living.

Think of it as your family's mountain home for the week—not just a place to sleep.

We stayed here with my family, my parents and my brother's family. We were a large group, but we had lots of room. My favorite spot was drinking coffee in the morning with a fire in pavilion. Great house. Thank you

Beautiful house and great location!

Very easy checkin and check out processes with good, clear communication from owner. House was beautiful with a VERY well stocked kitchen….we had everything we needed! Location was perfect in a great neighborhood with an easy drive to Cashiers and Highlands. The only thing I will note is that you have to walk through the upstairs king bedroom to get to the bunk room. It was fine for our group but just something to be aware of :) Overall, great property and we would definitely rent again.

8/10 Good

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The fireplaces were amazing. Actually best part of the home. We were very disappointed in the cleanliness of this home. There were cobwebs in all of the corners, including high corners, crumbs in many of the cabinets, and visible debris and hair on the couches and beds. The cleanliness was poor enough that I felt the need to place blankets over the furniture before sitting down.The dryer barely worked and required multiple cycles to dry even small loads.Additionally, the sleeping arrangements were misleading. The bunk bedroom is only accessible by walking through another bedroom, which should be clearly disclosed. The so-called fifth bedroom in the basement is extremely small, located off the laundry room, with barely enough space to move, no storage, and is not a comfortable or desirable bedroom.Overall, the lack of cleanliness was the biggest issue and made the stay very disappointing.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! The feedback is helpful to ensure our next guests are happy & comfortable! We have since updated the description of the home (particularly the bunk room location & occupancy) as to not mislead future renters. We’re sorry to hear about the lack of cleanliness. We have a well trusted cleaning crew & the home is inspected by the cleaning company owner each time. Upon your arrival, we would have happily sent someone to re-clean to ensure you were comfortable & satisfied for your stay had we been informed. We have since shared the feedback with our staff. Thank you, again, and we’re glad you still overall enjoyed your stay!
