We have enjoyed vacations in this area of the NC mountains beginning with our honeymoon in the 80's, continuing over 30 plus years, as we raised our children and gathered with extended family who also vacation here. We always visit family members who reside nearby. We are an active family with a love of the outdoors. This area has such a great climate, scenery and wide range of activities to suit us well. As Florida residents, we spend a lot of time at the beach, or enjoying freshwater rivers, but decided it was time to get our own place in the mountains. We desired the Cashiers area because of the altitude and close proximity to Highlands, but especially due to the creek frontage and access to Lake Glenville. The many waterfalls and nearby hikes, such as Whiteside Mountain, Panthertown, Gorges State Park and Whitewater Falls were places we repeatedly return to. The home is cozy enough for two, or expansive enough for a family or several couples, (even with a few kids) to get away from it all and embrace time together amidst a beautiful and fun filled backdrop. There is something to do in every season, and the climate allows.

The house is located on Cedar Creek only a couple hundred yards from State Road 107 and Lake Glenville where we have private gated access to a Cedar Point Park with a pavilion, grill, restrooms and parking. Boating recreation is a huge draw for this location and of all kinds are welcome here, from fishing to pontoons, to kayak and canoeing. Motorboats pull tubers and paddleboarders are welcome. There is a marina which rents vessels, if that is a desire. But even a simple walk to sit and enjoy the water from the shore is a wonderful treat. Our view is to the west, so sunset picnics and views are sweet from our community area gazebo by the lake. The creek behind the house is also fun to visit and splash in with the kids.
The house is private enough to enjoy the mountains and feel "away from it all", yet is not so remote that you can't meet your immediate needs. Cashiers is a 10-15 min drive with all you need- gas station, restaurants and a full grocery with pharmacy, Ingles. There is a small local brewery and coffee shop, extensive hardware store, gift boutiques etc, as well. It is a charming area which caters to visitors in this area. Highlands is a 30 min uphill drive and has many options for services and entertainment as well. Sapphire Valley is beyond Cashiers and all of these areas are renowned for golf resorts if that is an appeal.
