Lovely home, lovely location, lovely resort - so nice, I've said it thrice!
My husband, 11 year old son, and I have stayed in either Cashiers, Highlands or Sapphire Valley nearly every Thanksgiving for the past 10 years. We love hiking, tubing and skiing, and the charm of small mountain towns. This was our first stay in Tuckasegee - an ideal location to not only revisit those towns, but centrally located for easy drives to Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Bryson City, Cherokee and others.
As for the resort, they've wonderful staff and plenty of activities (both on and off the lake) in a truly picturesque setting. The reserve makes everything easy - automated reminders of activites and detailed maps for all the amenities. And oooohhhhh the lake! Do take the pontoon boat trip on day 1 for the history and views. You'll definatley want to kayak afterwards for more lake time.
And our rental home was perfection! Not only was it in a great location for community activities (google Mill Pond - just look at that firepit and those fishing ponds), but we were steps away from peaceful forest trails. It was beautifully furnished, with super comfy beds, and had the most stocked kitchen I've come across (we were in need of nothing but groceries, truly). The indoor and outdoor fireplaces were outstanding features. Had we gone during warmer weather, I think we would be happy living on the back porch. Pictures don't do it justice. Just go - you'll have no regrets! Owners - thank you for a perfect stay - your love of your home and hospitality shines through.
