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.

Amazing stay at Thanksgiving

Can’t say enough good things about this house and the host. House was clean, kitchen had everything we needed and the outdoor space was spectacular with the fire table and fire pit where we made s’mores. Great place to gather with family, play games, hike to waterfalls and wake up to the amazing lake view every day! Can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful home with amazing views!

We had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful home. It was clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. The outdoor spaces were our favorite spots - the hardest decision of the day was deciding between the lower and upper deck since both offer amazing views of the lake, mountains and beautiful landscaping of the property. The location was ideal for our activities - shopping in Cashiers and Highlands as well as golfing. We hope to stay in this home again on our next visit to NC!

Lake Glenville’s Best!

This was our second time at this lovely home, and we really love this location. Close to Cashiers and the perfect view! It was perfect for my 84 year old mother with easy access and bedroom on the main level. It is not listed as handicapped accessible, but I think it may qualify. Nice upgrade with the room AC units for the late afternoon when temps in the 80’s. Will stay here again.

Spectacular View - Lovely Home

We enjoyed several days in this comfortable and well appointed home. The lake and mountain views from the huge deck are gorgeous. The sunset is particularly lovely. Plenty of outdoor seating areas that have both covered and uncovered spaces, so no matter where the sun was, we found a cozy spot. The main floor’s huge windows allowed us to eat our meals inside when it was chilly and still feel we were outside. It’s very easy to access from Cashiers, but is in a quiet, private area. The owners are terrific communicators. We had a few questions which they answered immediately and graciously. We are definitely planning a return trip!

A week in the mountains

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your home. The house had a majestic view of Lake Glenville and surrounding mountains. The home was extremely well furnished with amply supplies of kitchen equipment. The deck overlooking the lake was the best part of the home. The interior of the house was a typical mountain home with exposed wood beams, wood flooring and cozy décor. The furnishings and art work were beautiful. David and Mary Scarborough were gracious hosts. Looking forward to another stay in the future..

Excellent experience overall! The home was outstanding with a spectacular view of the lake and mountains. Multiple outdoor seating areas allowed us to take advantage of the beautiful weather each afternoon and evening. Very quiet and peaceful.

Great views, Koi Pond and waterfall, two levels of attached covered decks, a lower garden like gravel seating area with fire pit and large umbrella, fireplace and fire pit on covered deck, audio/video, billiards room, recliners, indoor fireplace, etc., etc., etc. Everything you need for a totally enjoyable stay.

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.
