The house is located in a great spot on Lake Glenville and has tons of space for multiple families to be together but also have their own space. It was very well appointed in the kitchen also and the fire pits got tons of use!

Our stay at Briarcliff Lodge in Cashiers, NC was so relaxing! The home itself is beautifully set up for large groups. We had 8 people and never felt crowded, with 3 separate floors everyone was able to have their own space when wanted and come together to play pool or foosball whenever! We made dinner for 2 of the nights we stayed and found everything you would needed, just like at home:) The owner Doug has done a fantastic job of outfitting home and also communicating back to us quickly if we had any questions. And the views of Lake Glenville are just stunning. We spent many hours just sitting on one of three decks or on the boat dock, watching wildlife and the glorious fall leaves. Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!

Very nice location! And nicer than expected. Limited parking for size, but was not a major issue!

Pros: Home is great for large families w/ kids, as it has two living levels, both with full kitchens. Great lake views, and access. Location is very convenient to Cashiers and surrounding areas. Host was very kind to allow for an early check in for some family that flew into town early. Lake is beautiful, and has 3 waterfalls leading into it. Cons: This home is a duplex, and the dock is shared. There is absolutely no reason this shouldn't be clearly stated in the listing. We found out via another review just a few weeks before our arrival. Fortunately, we were very lucky that no one else was renting the home next to us. Had there been a family our size trying to utilize the dock like we were, it would have been a major issue considering we had no reason to believe it wasn't private. The furniture was suitable, but is quite dated. Parking is tight.

Excellent property to spend vacation

This property was absolutely perfect for our family that included our grandchildren. The large accommodation was spotless, well appointed and with a great location near town. Doug, the property owner, was excellent with communications and very customer focused. His property is well maintained. The parking is a bit tight but was able to accommodate three vehicles, a rarity in the mountains.

My friends and I all stayed here for the wedding weekend of one of our friends, and we had a fantastic weekend. We really loved all the space and room to spread our, but also of course the fire pit and the dock right on the lake. The pullout sofa was broken, but the host was very quick to assist once I informed him of the problem. Overall highly recommend this house. Hopefully we can stay again soon!

Although we were a little surprised that the rental was actually a duplex and the parking was a bit tight for my suburban, the house was great. A lot of living space on the three levels allowed everyone their own space. Everyone had a great time playing foosball and pool! Enjoyed drinking coffee on the deck every morning and watching the activity on the lake. Our family and friends had a great time!

The house was well-located on the shore of Lake Glenville and well-equipped. It has three floors, each with its own full apartment. Ideal for accommodating a large group. Some aspects of the house could use some updating and minor repairs. But it was a very comfortable place to stay. Take note that it is a duplex. But we had no problems with the neighbors. Parking is a bit tight.

The manager was very easy to work with. We didn’t know until we arrived that it was not a single family home, it’s actually an attached home. The kitchen was well stocked. The lake fire pit was not available for our use but the back one was. The furnishings and decor are dated but comfortable. We had to move chairs from other rooms in order for the 7 of us to sit together in the family room. The dining room accommodated all of us together. There was mold on the master shower curtains.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is perfectly located on Lake Glenville. We loved spending time on the dock. It would really be perfect for 3 couples-each could have their own floor. All have balconies, kitchens, and private bathrooms. It was a great escape from Hurricane Ida!

Room and more room. All you need to enjoy a relaxing time in the mountains with the great benefit of being on the lake. Fully furnished with all you need. Firewood for outside fire pit, Gas grill with plenty of propane tanks. Great family environment for all occasions.

Perfect spot for lots of family. Plenty of room and beautiful lake access. Great owner, too!

The layout of the home was perfect for our group! The bedrooms were large and comfortable. Plenty of kitchen space! Would love to go again!

We just spent two weeks at this property and had an amazing time. The location of the house was perfect! Easy access to both Cashiers and Highlands and right on the lake. We didnt realize the house was a duplex until a week before checking in and were nervous about how that would work out. Thankfully it was not an issue and neither was sharing the dock. We met the neighbors and they were all very friendly. The host of this property was very responsive and extremely helpful. The house itself is dated but very clean. Overall the property was amazing and we would definitely stay there again!

We enjoyed our stay would do it again

The view was spectacular! The house has everything you need and then some!! We couldn’t have picked a better house for all the family we had!

We spent a week at the Briarcliff Lodge and thoroughly enjoyed our time! The house is three floors so each of my children claimed a floor as their own and they were thrilled. The foosball and pool table were a hit, and although we didn't need two kitchens, it would be great if two families were staying together. The house is a duplex and parking can be a bit of a challenge if you have more than one car. The driveway is a tight squeeze if you have a larger SUV. Be aware that although the house is in the neighborhood Trillium and right next door to their lake club, this house does not give you any access to club facilities. We were aware of this ahead of time so it was no big deal, but someone else might want to know before booking. Trillium does not offer guest passes to any of their facilities. This house has a nice dock that is shared with the other half of the duplex and boats can be rented from a couple of marinas on the lake. Signal Ridge marina has always provided us with good service but book well ahead of your stay. The house had plenty of everything and the kitchen was well stocked with dated but satisfactory gadgets, dishes, cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. Nothing is fancy but it is all clean and comfortable.

We had a wonderful time at this lake house! It had everything we needed and was very clean. We loved being right on the lake and having bonfires at night.

everything wonderful

My family and I had a great time at this property. The lake views were spectacular, especially with snow and Icicles covering the hills and ground around it. Great location for accessing numerous hiking trails and it’s an easy drive into Cashiers or Highlands. As beautiful as it was, I can only imagine how much fun it would be in warmer weather with all of the potential lake activities. Thanks again.

Doug was the most accommodating host, making the stay for our Trillium wedding as stress-free as possible! Briarcliff lodge was perfect for our group, with plenty of room to spread out and privacy for several couples. The fire pit and lake access were a huge hit with the younger guests, but we all enjoyed the spectacular lake views from the balconies! Doug made sure every need was met throughout the trip, so we are already trying to schedule our next escape!

Amazing place and host!

This home is beautifully situated on Lake Glenville and close to the charming village of Cashiers, NC. There are three levels in this home giving much privacy and all three floors have access to balconies overlooking the lake. There are 2 fire pits with plenty of wood for roasting marshmellows for s'mores. This home has a great dock for fishing and boating and offers many amenities to pass the time. September is a great time to be in the mountains.

We had a wonderful time staying on Lake Glenville. The property is landscaped very nice and the lake is beautiful. The home is big and the dock gorgeous with good fishing. Also, the grill is one of the best we have had at a rental house. We visit every year and finally decided to purchase our own home to enjoy in the coming years.

The location was perfect and accommodations were comfortable. We had the whole family here and there was enough room to spread out or be cozy - whatever the mood. The lake access and dock were great for our boat rental, we made use of the fire pit for s’mores and had many late evening games. A return is clearly in the cards for us!

We had a great time renting this lakefront house and really enjoyed our stay! The Trillium neighborhood is very nice, and the house is in a good location on Lake Glenville. We enjoyed hiking, boating, seeing waterfalls, and using the campfire pits by the house for roasting s’mores. Only downfall is you have to share the dock but that didn’t happen until the very end of the week. Very spacious house with beautiful views!!

We recently spent a week at the Briarcliff Lodge. There are many positives to this property. The location is very good allowing you to go into Cashiers for groceries, shopping, or dining out. The lake is gorgeous. The view of the lake is obstructed by trees except from the top level. The walk to the dock can be a little tricky for young children or older adults. We rented a pontoon boat two days and the kids loved tubing and knee boarding. There is plenty of room in the house for at least 10 people. It is well equipped and was clean. When we rented this place we did not know it was a duplex with a shared dock. Our neighbors for the week were very nice and we had no problems. Sometimes someone would avoid going to the dock because there were so many people on it. I could see how with certain groups this could be a problem. The parking is not the best. It is a little difficult getting in and out close to the house, but we parked in the parking lot of the restaurant next door. There were a couple of unusual circumstances that probably would not normally occur. The previous renters had left the place in a mess ( and damaged a couple of doors) so the maids were not able to let us in on time. Also roofers were there two days pounding on the roof all day.

Tubs did not drain, doors did not open close properly, mold on wood decks, holes in the siding off decks, several door trim not finished or painted, doors off the deck is rotten and very difficult to open close, I have pictures

Lots of room for a family gathering - each family had their own room and bath - best place yet we've gathered. Very well appointed, scenic area with close grocery and shopping - and the owner was very accommodating, super nice and easy to work with. Would like to stay in the summer to enjoy lake activities.
