This was our second stay at this comfortable and well appointed home. We enjoyed gorgeous mountain and lake views (from both inside and out), along with strong WiFi and all the kitchen amenities we needed to settle in.
The views of the mountain and lake were amazing. Very clean and the host was very helpful. The kitchen had everything you would need and more.

Thank you for the wonderful review. Delighted the big views, “cozy spacious” layout, and that tucked-away feel (with a quick 5-minute hop to Cashiers) were spot on. We aim to keep the process effortless so you can just enjoy your time. We’d love to host you again.

Hi Mac,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Mary and I are so happy you had a great time and our home was one of the best in your 50+ years of coming to the NC mountains.
We too love our home and the area and fall is such an incredible time to visit with the leaves turning colors along with cool nights and warm days.
We hope you have the opportunity to visit with us again.

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. The host communication was excellent with quick responses and offers to assist with anything during our stay. This was one of the best experiences in our years of hiking trips to western NC. Thank you!

About the host
Hosted by David & Mary Scarborough
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!
