Wilstone Lodge-Pool&Lake Access-Secluded Bliss-Walk to Waterfalls

Welcome to Wilstone Lodge. Tucked away on top of a ridge on quiet, private walkable roads. Amenity access to all of Sapphire Valley Resort. Walk to waterfalls in the national forest from our neighborhood. 20 minutes to downtown Cashiers. Fiber internet, excellent cell coverage. Step-free access to the main floor and bedrooms. New Brunswick 8 ft pool table in lower level. Open concept floor plan with chef's kitchen and 30 foot vaulted ceilings. Amazing mountain views from each of the 4 bedroom suites with attached private bathrooms. Enjoy crisp fall weekends, summers in the cool mountain air, springtime with the blooming laurel and rhododendron, and the pristine stillness of winter at our mountaintop retreat.

Relaxing Getaway

Beautiful and spacious home in NC mountains provided a quiet and picturesque location for my adult family members to meet and reunite. Plenty of comfortable seating around the fireplace in the living room while two large decks and outdoor seating offered wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and valley below.
