Welcome to Rovers Retreat - Very Private 4 Acre Fenced Pet Friendly Property
Big view cabin and yurt!! Spectacular, panoramic mountain view residence, situated at an elevation of 4000 FEET. On a private 4 acre lot, with fur-friendly 1 BR/1.5 Bath loft cabin (750 SF) & detached 1 BR/.5 bath guest yurt.
Only 10 minutes from Cashiers, Lake Glenville & Panthertown Valley. 20 minutes to Highlands. 1 hour from Asheville and The Biltmore.
Sleeps 2 to 6 people very comfortably. Great for single person, couple (s) and kids. Large front porch with outdoor dining/seating, along with a picnic table on the lawn. HUGE 1-acre fenced yard for large & small dogs! They will enjoy their best vacation EVER! Outside has a charcoal grill and wood burning fire pit.
1 BR loft cabin with 1.5 bath, open floor plan on main level with LR, full kitchen & full bath. 2nd floor master bedroom loft with 1/2 bath and king bed. Sleeping for 2 downstairs on chaise lounger.
DirecTV satellite TV, Wi-Fi, Amazon, and Netflix. Wood burning stove, gas heat, electric heat & A/C units. Kitchen with fridge, stove, oven, microwave, small appliances, dishware, glasses, cookware & all basic utensils. W&D, full modern bath w/large walk-in shower.
Guest yurt (350 SF of a trendy, modern, insulated, circular wood-framed structure with canvas and lattice walls/ceilings; on a wood foundation) is only 100 feet away from main cabin.
The yurt has full kitchenette with fridge, stove, sink, & small appliances. Ductless HVAC system, queen bed, reclining love seat, and single cot, chair/ottoman, TV w/ built-in DVD Player/DirecTV & Wi-Fi. 1/2 bath, wood floor, surrounding windows and operable skylight. Front deck with fantastic mountain views. Note: Bathroom in winter will be winterized (water off) if temps below 32 degrees outside in the yurt.
The best amenity of this property is the 4 acre, private, 4000 foot elevation with level lawn areas (bocce ball court & corn-hole) and fenced in yard!
Just relax and enjoy the great panoramic views of Sapphire Valley and the amazing granite rock faces of the mountains. Located only 5 minutes from Panthertown Valley, aka "the Yosemite of the East." (6700 acre paradise for mountain biking, backpacking, trout fishing, clear swimming holes with beaches & hiking).
More than 20 of the finest waterfalls are within a 30 minute drive. Lake Glenville (highest elevation lake east of Mississippi) has pontoon and kayaks rentals in warm weather. Whiteside Mountain has an excellent, cliff-top view, hiking loop with 700' high cliff walls. Whitewater Falls is the highest waterfall east of the Rockies that plunges a staggering 411 feet, and Gorges State Park, aka "Gorgeous" due to its unique waterfalls, rugged river gorges, sheer rock cliffs, and awesome plant life, are both within 20 minutes of the property.
When you rent our place, with a rare, gem of a view, you get the entire property to yourselves! Sit on the adirondack chairs and enjoy a cocktail with a million dollar view, or roast some smores and enjoy the best stargazing ever!

About the host
Hosted by Brad & Kim Pickerel

This property has been in the family for over 40 years and we have converted it to rental property for others to enjoy. We live 2 hours away in Georgia and use the property a few times a year to escape the rat race of metro Atlanta. My father purchased the property in the 1970's, started a real estate company, and lived in Cashiers for 45 years. He is now retired to SC and are we are part owners of the property. The original house burned down in 2005; we kept the land and converted the remaining detached garage into a loft cabin in 2010. We plan to keep the property in the family name for years to come.
Why they chose this property
My father wanted acreage with privacy/big view but close to Cashiers for work and golf.
What makes this property unique
Spectacular, sweeping long-range views, 3-acre knob with level lot. Very private, no other homes in site. All the comforts of home in a setting of natural beauty unlike any other. The yurt was added years later as second bedroom studio after the original cabin was built. The yurt was chosen as something unique to the outdoor experience. This "living in the round" unit is world class manufacturing with high quality durability and designed to withstand the harshest environments by RAINIERYURTS in Washington State. Structural safety, tension cables, foundation, roof fabric, wind (withstand 95 to 105 m.p.h), snow loads, fallen trees, animal attacks, protection from the elements, fire, mold & mildew, radiant heat barrier insulation for walls and environmental friendly were the main components in design.
