We absolutely loved our time at Lake Glenville at Cottage on the Point! The house is exactly as described, but even better in real life. Tastefully furnished, immaculately clean, and my 11-year-old daughter loved that she got to sleep in the "Tar Heels" room. We spent many hours on the screened porch overlooking the lake, reading in the hammock, enjoying morning coffee, and listening to the sounds of nature. This is such a serene area and having dock access to the lake was a dream. We used the kayaks every day to go to the waterfall around the point and swam in the warm lake water.
The surrounding areas are worth a visit too. We went to High Falls (hike to large waterfall), Cashiers (Whiteside Brewery), Highlands (upscale town with a great hike to views of Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains), and Slide Rock (rock slide for kids and adults). We also ate at Happ's and Slab Town Pizza. Both were great!
There is so much to do in this beautiful area if you want to be active or staying at the Cottage and enjoying the lake and home relaxing.
We live in the Bay Area, so Lake Glenville was a long way from home, but we are already talking about going back next year to stay at Cottage on the Point! Thank you, Joyce, for all of your hospitality and communication too!
