Cabin was great. Owners thought of every thing one would need or want. Great view of lake. Lost power during storm but generator kicked in automatically until power was restored. Would highly recommend

Hi Jorge,
Thank you for your positive review. We installed a new generator last spring and I am glad it proved its worth. Hope you had a great Holiday with family and friends.
Ian and Gareth
This was a very comfortable, spacious, and well equipped house for our family get together of 4 separate families. Everyone had space! The hosts were very responsive to our questions and issues. The privacy and views of the Lake were two stand outs -
The house and view are magnificent. Everything was beautiful and well appointed. It’s like a wellness retreat. Immensely enjoyed every aspect of our stay and wish it could have been longer. We will definitely book again.
We loved that there was plenty of seating for meals. The kayaks were easy to access and there was plenty to do in the house.

Thank you for your good review and I am glad you were able to make the most of the large kitchen and enjoy the amenities of Cashiers village. Being at the top of the hill there is no through traffic!
Ian and Gareth
This was a great place to stay, and there was a lot to do on our one rainy day and any other day. Great amenities throughout. One of the air conditioners was out in a portion of the house, but the cool mountain air and rest of the house made it less noticeable. The stay was busy and relaxing at the same time.

Heidi,
Thank you for your five star review. We have contracted for a new system ( one of four) but as you know immediate response is not possible these days. It is scheduled for next week.
We love Lake Glenville! The lake is clear, cool, remote, and not over-populated. All the requirements for our family to enjoy playing on the lake, hiking nearby trails, watching the dam release and just chilling out. We can't wait to return! This home is large enough to host our family so we each have our own space as well as a great communal kitchen and deck. A game room for cooler or rainy days is a must for this active family. We rented a boat for our entire stay so we could swim on a small sandy beach, check out the waterfalls, and take the kids tubing - and some adventurous adults too. Ahhh, summertime on the lake!

This property is the perfect mountain cabin by the lake. The view is outstanding. In addition to the view the cabin itself is lovely inside and out. Highlights for us were the game room and the decks. That's not to take away from any of the rest of the cabin as it is all fantastic! We also enjoyed taking the kayaks around the point and visiting the waterfall that empties into the lake. You can even hear the waterfall from the driveway!

So glad you had a good time and were able to enjoy Lake Glenville and the surrounding scenery. Kayaks are a very relaxing way to travel around the lake and see some of the fantastic houses and waterfalls. Deer are frequently seen on the lawns and in the woods.
We keep updating and improving the house amenities - just in case of rain!
Thank you for your good review,
Ian and Gareth
We’ve stayed at this property before and continues to be a great place to enjoy the lake. Big fireplace in great room, many bedrooms spread out in the house for privacy,. Steep walk to dock, as noted & known to us. Used steam sauna often, as weather was cooler. Lots of small touches great: propane heaters on porch, gas fire pit on deck, whole house water filter. Would return again.

Dear Shawn,
Thank you for your review and return visit. You will notice that we have added new appliances and an elliptical exercise machine along with other improvements. The new trash compactor failed after only a week but that is being repaired. After analysis, we added a new water filter system as professionally recommended, and a large pressure tank to improve the water flow.
Yes, the walk to the lake through the woods is a cardio workout, but driving is possible with a turnaround, parking, and lakeview seats available.
Regards from Gareth and Ian.
This is a large house that sits above Lake Glenville with beautiful views of the lake. Access to the lake is steep as described on the website but manageable. The house is very spacious with wonderful outside spaces with lake views. We had a wonderful week. Gareth was very prompt with communication. Some of the appliances could use an update, but everything worked fine. Kitchen is well supplied and we cooked all of our meals at the house.

Adult family members gathered from 5 states to celebrate birthday in this big beautiful house. Everything was as described. We especially loved the view from deck, grill and perfect deck dining table. The road to dock was a bit daunting, but younger folks went down and used kayaks. Only 4 of us were there entire time. Others came and went on different schedules. We rented boats at marina several times, and that was fun. We never turned on any tv, but there were several there. We did use firepit one night. This is a very comfortable and beautiful house, in an area with plenty to do.

Brenda, Thank you for your excellent review. The road to the dock is steep but manageable if taken slowly! There is a flat accessible beach on the north end of Lake Glenville. The lake and view are spectacular and the weather in June is usually good. Hope you were able to visit some waterfalls and enjoy some of the local food at the restaurants as well.
Regards from Ian and Gareth.
Our family comes to NC every year for a retreat. We come from Texas and Florida and look forward to the mountains and cool temperatures. This luxury home met all our needs. The teens took over the downstairs and enjoyed all the amenities. They were in the sauna immediately. They enjoyed the dock and kayaks. We rented a boat on Lake Glenville and spent a day boating and tubing.
We cooked all our meals in the spacious kitchen and ate on the huge porch looking out over the lake . Coffee in the morning on the deck watching the fog rise is so peaceful.
Must mention that the temperature in Texas and Florida was 100 degrees, so we thoroughly enjoyed the 60 degree mornings.
Your home is spacious and beautiful. Met all our expectations.

Thank you for your favorable review. The summer temperature in the mountains is a welcome respite from most of the rest of the country. Glad the kids enjoyed the sauna -and game room! Lake Glenville is great with opportunities for water sports and viewing lovely properties.
The property was beautiful! There were several disappointing things. First, the water pump kept shutting off and we kept having to go to the basement to turn it back on and finally it quit working. It being Thanksgiving, we finally got a plumber to fix a problem that had unbeknownst to us already existed.
Second, the living room sofas and chairs we uncomfortable and rump sprung, need to be replaced.
And thirdly, a thorough scrubbing was needed in the kitchen, some of the silverware and china were put up dirty. All of these things are easily remedied and we would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for your helpful comments. The water pump issue was new and apparently caused by sediment. We have replaced the pump and filter and it is working correctly now. So sorry it disrupted your stay at a critical time. We will investigate the other items and remedy. It is possible that the water problem affected the dishwasher and we will double check that,
Ian and Gareth.
Description of property and reviews online were spot on! Great views of the lake through the trees, very good house layout for privacy (multiple floors, rooms, private corners to find quiet nooks). Great room/living room big & airy - wood burning fires in fireplace worked well, and took the rainy or foggy chill off in the mornings. Sauna worked well, game room with ping pong & board games was a hit. Outdoor multi-level deck very functional - propane firepit was nice at night. Water pressure was as described - max 2 showers going at once. Walk down to water very steep, strenuous walk back up - again as described. (We brought along our souped-up golf cart to make the trek to/from lake easier). Shared water access dock was great - small sand beach there to wade in/swim, kayak, float. We rented pontoon boat from nearby marina & parked it at dock without problems. Overall - excellent vacation home if you need to sleep a bunch of people.

Thank you for your review and I am glad you were able to enjoy beautiful Lake Glenville to the fullest. One can drive down to the dock as there is a turnaround, but I recommend 2WD only when dry, and 4WD should be OK in all conditions. At least you get both the mountain view and the Lake access! Looks like you checked out all the toys and facilities! Being on top off the hill does limit the instantaneous water volume, but our recirculating system normally gives instant hot water for convenience in such a large house.
Thank you again for a fair and comprehensive review.
This home is a delightful place to idle away time and enjoy the quiet beauty of Lake Glenville. A fully stocked kitchen was appreciated as well as an abundance of games to entertain all ages. The broker was very helpful about any propblems and thankfully they were minimal and easily rectified. The internet fluctuates a lot, but we weren't in need of it. And loved not being sble to stream movies or shows to help keep all of us off devices!
Fyi, recycling is available at the house. Check Jackson County site for what they accept. There are clear garbage bags on garage required for the recycling.
The walk to the lake is doable but some people might not be up to it. A couple of friends preferred being driven, which is not for the feint of heart. Drive slow, low gear, all wheel drive and its not a problem.
We will be back!

Hi Liz,
Thank you for your favorable review. We are at the mercy of a single internet provider at the end of a long cable, but Starlink is on order and should resolve the issue when it arrives, The road to the private dock is an E ticket ride but you get used to it! I will look into the recycling rules. So glad you had a great time!

We spent the a week at this amazing property for the Thanksgiving holiday. The house was perfect for our needs.
The highlight of the house is the great room that has a huge fireplace and a soaring vaulted ceiling. It felt like we were in a lodge. The views from the great room of the lake and mountains are amazing, and it was great that we could enjoy those views without having to go out to the deck. (Having said that, the views from the decks on the mail and lower levels are amazing too). I loved that the great room had sconce lighting (like you see in theaters) so that you can light the room without harsh overhead lights. It set the perfect mood -- in addition to the fireplace. I also loved that the fireplace has a gas starter system which makes starting a fire so easy. There was plenty of wood stocked in the garage for our week stay.
We had four kids (11, 14 and two 16 year-olds) with us and they occupied the lower level of the house. The entire lower level was a separate apartment for the kids, with two bedrooms, a huge game room, and a living room -- with ample beds and bathrooms for them. The kids made use of the games, including the foosball and ping pong tables. There was a huge TV in living room of the lower level that the kids hooked their game system to. But there was video services provided as well. Another great thing about the lower level is that it is not a basement. Therefore, it did not have a musty, damp feeling that other houses have on their bottom levels. The lower level of the house was just like any other part of the house.
The beds in the house were VERY comfortable, as were the pillows and linens. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need to cook any meal. We did a lot of cooking there and made use of the bbq grill, oven, stove etc.
Because it was chilly outside, we didn't make use of the deck or the boating. We would like to come back another time during the summer to take advantage of those great amenities.
The only drawback, which is disclosed in the listing, is the water. We were only able to have one person at a time take a shower. It wasn't a problem for us because we planned around it, taking showers in the evening at different times. But I can see it being an issue for some people if it is necessary for multiple people trying to get ready all at one time in the morning. But that one issue would not dissuade me from renting this fabulous property again.

Thank you for your excellent and detailed response. We are now fitting an upgraded booster pump and resizing some lines that should help the water flow for this large house. I think the pump was actually failing during your stay as the housekeepers had untypical water issues also. Glad you had a great time despite the chilly weather at this time of year although it was sunny.
Great house/accommodations and location! Would rent again for sure

Peter,
Thank you for your good review and I am glad you enjoyed the game room. Although it does rain regularly in this temperate rain forest, it usually does not last long and fluctuates with sunny periods. At least we do not have to worry about forest fires! The recreation room, theatre, and game closet are designed for you to have fun despite the weather.
Three families fit comfortably in this house without feeling like we were on top of each other. In fact, each family had their own floor of the house (the was a game room downstairs was a hit for the older kids!). Lake access with a dock and kayaks was a lovely walk out the front door, and when we wanted to leave the house, Cashers, Sapphire and Highlands were a beautiful 15-20min drive away. We came primarily for the hiking, and the location of the house was ideal for that as well! We used the grill twice and the gas fireplace every night. It was a phenomenal visit and I'd recommend it to anyone 100x over!

We spent a week after Christmas at this beautiful home overlooking a stunning mountain lake. This home is perfect for a large crowd of varied ages. The lower level was perfect for the kids to play table tennis and Foote all. The kitchen had everything thing a foodie cook would want! An abundance of very nice cookware and dishes filled this kitchen while people gather around the island and keeping room with fireplace. All beds were comfy and having three with in suite baths made the home very appealing for our guests. The lower level beds looked to be oversized twins that shared a bath.
The stunning great room was perfect to gather around the huge fireplace as we celebrated New Years!
Gareth was needed a couple times with some issues that were quickly resolved and was a pleasure to work with during our stay!
If you decide to visit Cashiers, you won’t be disappointed with this home and surrounding areas with hiking trails and interesting shops and restaurants.

Dear Pamela,
Thank you for your good review and I am glad that you were able to enjoy the house and surroundings despite the colder weather around Christmas. Cashiers is a cute village with amenities for visitors. We are continuing to make improvements and plan to replace the under-counter oven.
Best Regards from Ian and Gareth
Amazing property, very well equipped, spacious, comfortable and has $MM views over the lake and surrounding mountains. Despite a chilly week, the weather cooperated and we enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner on the upper patio, teenagers and adults alike enjoyed the games room / cinema, kitchen was adequately equipped and fireplaces were well used. Cellular(AT&T) service was nonexistent at the house and the WiFi was slow and a bit spotty but aside from a few homework assignments to be submitted our group didn’t need the connectivity and frankly a little helpful to fully disconnect for those trying to get some much needed down-time. Good hiking / waterfalls nearby, very complete grocery (Ingles) and ABC store in Cashiers so no need to haul your provisions. Good options for dining and cold brews in Cashiers and Highlands and we hope to back.

Dear Edward,
Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving break and maybe had the opportunity to fire up the patio heaters! AT&T has poor service in the mountains and I had to change to Verizon for that reason. We subscribe to the fastest WiFi available but it can be variable at the end of the line! It is always gratifying to hear of guests who venture out to visit the amazing trails and waterfalls within the Cashiers Highlands plateau, making the most of their stay in this beautiful area.
