Welcome to Lakeside Cottage at the Point.

Experience the magic of Western North Carolina’s high country and the traditional Southern resort towns of the Highlands – Cashiers Plateau in a spectacular Smoky Mountain setting. Lakeside Cottage at the Point is nestled among old-growth spruce and white pine trees on the shores of Lake Glenville near Cashiers and Highlands, North Carolina. A winding walkway leads through stands of juniper, mountain laurel and rhododendron to boulder steps at the water’s edge and our private boat dock. Sip a cup of steaming coffee on the deck overlooking the lake as the sun crests the mountains. Explore Lake Glenville by canoe or kayak in the tranquility of early morning or tee-off at one of the nearby golf courses as morning mist gives way to bright sunshine.

Our Smoky Mountain vacation home has over 200 feet of waterfront on Lake Glenville. Lakeside Cottage at the Point enjoys a “million-dollar” view of glistening Lake Glenville. Fed by five mountain streams, Lake Glenville is 4.5 miles long and covers more than 1,460 acres. Its twenty-six miles of shoreline meanders past canopied country roads, Christmas tree farms and picturesque waterfront homes. At 3,800’ elevation, Lake Glenville is the highest mountain lake east of the Mississippi River. It is the ideal destination for a family vacation, a “Big Chill” gathering of friends, family reunion or weekend getaway.

The interior of our two-story vacation rental home reflects the ambiance of a sophisticated mountain cabin. Features include hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, sunken great room with wood-burning, stone fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, double oven and custom cabinets. Each of the four bedrooms has its own connecting bath. Outdoor living spaces include a screened shade porch, generous bi-level sun and dining deck overlooking the lake and a grill patio for cooking out-of-doors.

Lakeside Cottage at the Point offers all the comforts and conveniences of home. Our mountain vacation home is outfitted with satellite TVs, DVDs, CD players, wireless Internet access, board games and puzzles, fishing poles, kayaks and a red canoe. Bed linens, bath and beach towels, kitchen and laundry supplies, washer and dryer, even firewood for cool mountain nights are provided for our guests to use. We provide just about everything our guests could need while enjoying a mountain lake vacation.

We want our guests’ Smoky Mountain vacation to be as enjoyable as possible! Our goal is to exceed guest expectations so that the memories our guests’ take home are those that they will treasure always.
