Here at Serenity

Peace and quiet but thirty minutes to everywhere, Highlands,Cashiers and Franklin . Only fifteen minutes to one of the prettiest lakes on the planet. Thorpe reservoir better known as Grenville lake has great fishing and Mountain View’s , waterfalls and creeks flowing into it. Pontoon boat are available to be rented on this lake. The home is very isolated up a very long gravel state maintained road,so don’t drive your corvette or Lamborghini, it will drag bottom(you do not need 4 wheel drive). If you are looking for a relaxing quiet place to unwind and still be close to all the the most beauty places to go in the mountains of North Carolina. This is the spot for you.The side porch over looks a pretty fish pond, with a noisy creek running into it. Hand feed our pet miniature cow lily and her calf daisy. Set around the fire pit and listen to the creek flowing into the pond below. Serenity best describes this beautiful place. There is a free standing fireplace in the home with a electric fireplace that gives a cozy atmosphere inside. Home is at almost 4000 feet elevation and temperature almost never gets warmer than 78 degrees on the covered porches. Porch has a charcoal grill and there is amply fire wood for your evening fire pit memory making times. Experience the amazing star filled nights. There no street lights on this property to interrupt with star viewing.

Can't wait to go back again. Peaceful, nothing but the birds singing, wind through the trees, and occasional moo from Lily or one of the other cows...Paul, Daytona Beach, Fl.

Mountain Getaway
Very nice place and we enjoyed our stay. It is in the mountains and the drive into the property was a little hair raising for us as we were not used to it, but we managed it. phone service was not good for the most part but the internet worked great for us. Recommend the property as a very tranquil and relaxing place to stay

Property is awsome. It had everything we needed. Our dog Belle loved the yard. It is a little out of the way but worth the trip.

Quaint & Secluded
We have rented MANY times…this cabin was by far the cleanest and most well appointed! Check In and check out were PERFECT!!!! The only downside is that it is a bit secluded! You should always enter thru Walnut Creek Road… our car GPS sent us another way coming in and it was really twisty! Once we came out the way Bobby told me it was a breeze! We loved cabin - our puppy loved the cows… plenty of room for our group. TWO NICE bathrooms were certainly a plus!

Relaxing get away
The home was wonderful. We took advantage of the remote setting to enjoy family and friends. We had a fire in the pit and roasted marshmallows for s'mores. If you want a quiet serene setting in a wonderful home, this is your place. We fed apples to the cows. However, if you want to be close to town, this is not your place. It is about 30 minutes to anything. Now this was great for us. Just wanted you to be aware. We spent the day in Franklin and Highlands. Both are full of shops and restaurants. My wife and I love antiques and thrifting. Franklin had great shops for that. Found many bargains. The local battered women’s thrift in Franklin has lots of great name brand items CHEAP! I would book here again. Almost forgot. Our four legged family loved the location too.
