About this property

Stunning Modern Rustic Lakeview Retreat Walking Lake Access PRIVATE BOAT SLIP

BRAND NEW ON THE VACATION MARKET!! Caribou Cabin is nestled on 2 beautiful acres of green grassy mountainside looking down on one of the best views of Lake Glenville. This perfect location offers stunning sunrise and morning views, when the smoky, heavy fog slowly rolls across the water; until sunset, when the bright oranges and pinks reflect off the lake's surface. A short 5-minute jaunt down the grassy hillside takes you quickly to your own dock slip, where you can swim, kayak or keep your boat safely tied up to be enjoyed day after day. Two kayaks will be waiting exclusively for you during your stay! This 2500 sq ft sanctuary has been recently remodeled with all new floors, cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, double fireplace, windows, doors, light fixtures, exterior decking/stairs, paint and furnishings! You will enjoy a cozy modern rustic aesthetic surrounded by the cool, freshly oxygenated air of the mountains...a truly healthy vacation. Enjoy rain showers and stay dry on the large covered deck. By night, enjoy the sunset and light a fire in the fire pit, roast marshmallows or enjoy a glass of wine on the expansive back deck. Then retire inside to the fireplace and all of the cozy, cuddly spaces Caribou Cabin has to offer.

Caribou Cabin's main level features the open living room with vaulted ceiling, dining area, open kitchen, spacious laundry room, sizable master bedroom with plush king sized bed, private master bath and walk-in closet, large 2nd bedroom with comfy queen bed, large 2nd full bath and the extensive deck which will seat a large family for meals. The downstairs suite features a large studio type apartment with sitting area, Franklin stove, small kitchen, comfy queen size bed, small built in baby crib, full bathroom with an oversized soaking tub/shower, and finally, an outdoor, weather-protected seating area with its own private door and private outdoor stairway which can be used exclusively for lower suite guests. Both levels are accessible to each other from an interior stairway as well. The entire house sleeps 6 people comfortably, with an additional bed for a baby or small child. A queen sized inflatable mattress is also available when needed for up to 2 more people.

You will be a short drive from town and endless outdoor excursions waiting to be explored by you and your family! Directions to many of the local waterfalls (my favorite), zip lining adventures, tubing, fishing, hiking, etc., will be provided to you, as our guests, along with many other options. We only recommend the best of the best for you to experience. And if you are interested in exploring local towns, trying out the local eateries and shopping, antiquing, or enjoying our Friday night Groovin' on the Green outdoor concerts in Cashiers, this area has it all and won't disappoint.

Our family has been summering on Lake Glenville since the early 1960s and, as a 3rd generation vacation rental manager, I can offer tons of local knowledge along with this fantastic mountainside retreat so that you and your loved ones can get the most out of your vacation!

****PLEASE NOTE**** During the peak months of June, July and August, etc. we will be taking minimum weekly rentals, as opposed to 4, 5, and 6 night rentals. Multiple nightly rental inquires during these 3 peak months, that are less than 1 week in length will be considered if the calendar allows. Also, check in and check out days are typically Saturday to Saturday. You can check the availability of check in days that might occur on other days of the week by looking further down in the listing at the availability calendar to see other existing reservations and available time periods. I encourage multi-day rentals that are less than a week if I'm filling in a week following, say a 10-day rental that leaves 4 days on the end to fill. So always send me an inquiry message to that effect if you see a multi day/less than a week availability in a peak season.

This house will be COVID clean for each and every guest, even when COVID is not around anymore. All surfaces will be disinfected, all heavily touched features (light switches, door knobs, kitchen handles, remote controls, etc.) will be disinfected with bleach, for each guest visit. The house and all its contents will be germ and virus-free, as well as looking and smelling super clean!!

Also, if you are interested in a lakefront vacation home on Lake Glenville on 5 secluded acres with 500' of shoreline and a private dock, we also own Moore Mountain Inn, Homeaway Listing 4149368. We also own Mom's Place, Homeaway Listing 162191, for a cute, affordable lakeview cabin with a spectacular view. And finally, if you'd like to experience a killer resort amenity package, try Sapphire Place, Homeaway listing #7825530.

Thank you for stopping by!

Perfect getaway
This rental was everything we have been looking for in a VRBO in the Lake Glenville area. The location was so easy to find thanks to our host who went over and beyond with clear communication of the property. The house was spacious and well stocked just like being in our own home. We enjoyed the short walk to the lake with our fur baby. We are already planning our next visits! Thanks Lisa!

My mom and I are sharing in the glory of the Glenville vacation market together. As a mom and daughter team who has spent most of our lives in the area, partnering in this venture comes as second nature. Together, we know all of the local spots to check out and adventures to enjoy! By day, she manages vacation rentals all over the east coast and I am an interior designer in San Diego, CA. We truly love what we do and the ability to share our home and local intel with you :)
