About this property

Majestic Views, Peace and Quiet, Modern Luxuries

The Nest is a newly built, chic modern-rustic home crafted into the side of a mountain. Perched up high with 180 degree views for miles, the home is minutes from Lake Glenville and the Crossroads, close to recreation, convenient for shopping and dining, and is yet a million miles away. Avid travelers, we designed this home with all the amenities we look for but never find in our own travels. Professional grade appliances and cookware for the gourmet, table service for 10, 2 wrap-around covered porches with cozy furnishings and dining areas, outdoor grill with direct gas line, high quality mattresses, white cotton linens, and down alternative comforters. There is space for everyone in the family to congregate together or to cozy up in their own niche. The bunk room is a kids' paradise! Each of the 4 built-in bunks has a cozy down comforter, a nook with a light, and an outlet for their phones or other electronics. There is ample seating and a wall mounted large screen TV with BluRay DVD player and X Box gaming. The floor above has it's own wall mounted large screen TV, fire place with luxurious lounging furniture, and ping pong table, all opening up to a covered wrap-around porch and the same spectacular view. There are books and games for all ages throughout the house.

The Nest sleeps 10 in 3 bedrooms with en suite baths and a bunk room with 2 sets of built-in bunks and a full bath. The farmhouse trestle table seats 10-12 with ease. Each level is walled with a light-filled view of the mountains, beautiful in every season. Other amenities include: heated master bath floor, high speed internet, You Tube TV, Amazon Prime, Netflix, DVD player and X Box, laundry room with commercial grade, full sized washer/dryer.

The kitchen is equipped for the gourmet with a Dacor range, Kitchen Aid mixer, Nespresso machine, Keurig coffee maker, and high quality cookware and bakeware for the discerning chef. Enjoy your meal with your family and guests at the large farm table overlooking the stunning mountain view with the sliding French doors wide open.

This home is minutes from the Lake Glenville public beach and the Crossroads with shopping and restaurants, but the highlight of this area is the great outdoors. The countless trails in the area provide sweeping mountain views, stunning waterfalls, and flora and fauna for hikers of every skill level. Visitors to the area can also enjoy mountain biking, zip lining, white water rafting, boating, swimming, skiing, tubing, and fishing. We have guides, maps, suggestions, and reviews at the ready for you. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, western NC has it all! Enjoy the unspoiled beauty of this part of the country from the comfort of the Nest.

P.S.
In this new world with COVID, many are looking for places to get away while still working. We have very good, fast internet...when we have it, which is most of the time. It is reliable for light work, streaming movies, multiple users but we do not recommend trying to make the million dollar deal from up here. We do not recommend your 3 children do remote schooling from here. Weather can interfere with internet as can too many people on too many devices at once. We want you to relax, not to be frustrated, so we encourage you to come here to enjoy the beauty and serenity and leave (most of ) your stressful job at home.

There is a security camera located above the front porch that covers the front entrance porch, walkway, and the parking area.

Wonderful stay in the mountains!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property! Our family stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and it was lovely! The views from this home are absolutely amazing! There was so much space for all of us. A huge kitchen table for meals for our family, comfortable seating in 2 great living areas, and spacious bedrooms and baths. The kitchen had everything we needed and was terrific to prepare meals in. We all enjoyed the ping pong table too! Communication with Annie was easy with quick responses. An easy drive to great nearby hikes or shopping in Highlands too. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this home again!

Spectacular getaway!
This house is even prettier than the pictures show, and the views are absolutely amazing! It is a bit removed from both Cashiers and Highlands, but not so far that it’ll keep you from driving in and exploring the towns and the rest of the surrounding area. But you really may not want to leave. Just sitting on the big bed swing on the porch and taking in the view is worth the trip. and if you’d like to cook, the kitchen is great. Also, it boasts plenty of space for a family members to be together, but also have alone time. The house were super welcoming and helpful too! I would definitely rent this house again.

The Nest
The Nest was all it was represented to be. Our stay was pleasant and relaxing, which was our goal. I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Morning tea on the back porch is spectacular.

Wonderful Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. It's a beautiful house with an open and well-laid out floor plan. The home was spotless and very inviting. The host (Annie) was extremely helpful and responsive, which was very appreciated. The views are spectacular and relaxing and sitting on the back porch and soaking it all in was how I started and ended most days. All-in-all a terrific place to recharge, and we certainly hope to make a return visit.

About the host

Hosted by Annie Maher

Host profile image
We have 3 college age kids and lead busy lives in Atlanta, GA. We are both pediatric healthcare providers who are busy with work and kids and friends. We love to be active outdoors, to eat good food with family and friends and explore new places.

Why they chose this property

We love to travel and love the outdoors. We also love the chance to get out of the city and experience the silence and tranquility that the mountains provide. We traveled around the world with backpacks and little money many years ago(when we were younger!). Now we enjoy the wilderness with a little more luxury at home base. We came up to Cashiers for a single night "get away" and looked at houses just for fun. Our realtor, and now dear friend, brought us up to this half-finished house and we never looked back. The view took our breath away. We went home, sold our house immediately, downsized, and made the leap. We spent the next year and a half making it our own with a local builder who is an artist at his craft. It was the best decision we have ever made. We now enjoy the community, new friends, and local flavor along with the spectacular views and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

The view!! Every season it is beautiful and it changes throughout the day with sun, shadows, low clouds. The silence on the porch still surprises us every single time we go. We also love the layout of the house as it allows for all to gather together and all to have their own space. The location is perfect to feel so far away from daily life yet with your choice of activities. It is even perfect if NO activities is your preference. It is restorative.....
