Our cottage is the ideal spot for your family, romantic or work getaway on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. There are so many activities to enjoy: neighborhood hiking trails, boating on Lake Glenville, kayaking, unique shopping, fine dining - all in the cooler summer temperatures of our Western North Carolina heaven. Winsome Guest House is perfectly situated as overflow space for Lake Glenville, Trillium and Mountaintop Club families. Attending a local wedding or checking on your new house under construction? It’s perfect for just a couple as well. We also offer discounts on long term rentals so feel free to inquire. Dates that are blocked in gray on the calendar have been booked through another rental site.

The cabin was updated in 2022 and you will enjoy all of the comforts of home. My favorite spot is the private porch with comfortable seating to enjoy the cool mountain days. There is a fire pit for ambiance & roasting marshmallows even in July. We added gates for pets to enjoy the space as well. There is plentiful seating in the living room (including a sofa bed) to enjoy the wood burning fireplace while watching a movie. On the main level, there is a bedroom with a private bath. There is a new adjustable queen-size bed in the bedroom. In the master bedroom closet, you will find a new pack and play and a baby/pet gate for the staircase. There is another full bathroom with a walk in shower in the downstairs hallway. Upstairs in the semi-private sleeping loft, there is a new king bed and a twin daybed with a trundle bed beneath. The family room couch also pulls out into a queen bed so make room for 2 more if needed. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make yourself at home. We have a charcoal grill for guests as well. There is fiber optic cable at the cabin and two ROKU televisions to stream your entertainment content. Uniquely suited for easy access, there is a ramp leading from the parking space to the porch, so there are no steps required to enter the main level of the home. The house sits on a quiet street on the very edge of Trillium Village off Fenley Forest Road. Trillium Links & Lake club is directly on Lake Glenville. The neighborhood has miles of paved roads for hiking, as well as well-maintained wooded trails leading to waterfalls, bubbling creeks and stocked fishing lakes and trout streams. Fenley Forest Road is very scenic and relatively flat to walk. The Highlands-Cashiers Plateau also has so much to offer. We describe it as perpetual summer camp! There is amazing hiking to beautiful waterfalls, unique shopping in Highlands & Cashiers, and outstanding restaurants to cap off your day. It’s also fun to use our Winsome Guest House to explore Western North Carolina. There are an array of arts & crafts festivals through-out the region almost every week during the summer and fall seasons. Less than an hour away, there is high level white water rafting, an aerial park with zip lining, or opportunities for just about any outdoor activity you desire. The Village Green at the crossroads offers 13 acres of a public park with a playground and picnic facilities it also provides a full roster of interesting programming for kids & adults as well as monthly free Friday night "Groovin on the Green" Concerts. There is a recreation center with an exercise facility and a dog park close to the Village Green as well.
