Stunning Modern Rustic Lake Retreat PRVT BOAT SLIP

Caribou Cabin is nestled on 2 beautiful acres of green grassy mountainside looking down on one of the best views of Lake Glenville. This perfect location offers stunning sunrise and morning views, when the smoky, heavy fog slowly rolls across the water; until sunset, when the bright oranges and pinks reflect off the lake's surface.

A short 5-minute jaunt down the grassy hillside takes you quickly to your own dock slip, where you can swim, kayak or keep your boat safely tied up to be enjoyed day after day. Two kayaks will be waiting exclusively for you during your stay! This 2500 sq ft sanctuary has been recently remodeled with all new floors, cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, double fireplace, windows, doors, light fixtures, exterior decking/stairs, paint and furnishings! You will enjoy a cozy modern rustic aesthetic surrounded by the cool, freshly oxygenated air of the mountains...a truly healthy vacation. Enjoy rain showers and stay dry on the large covered deck. By night, enjoy the sunset and light a fire in the fire pit, roast marshmallows or enjoy a glass of wine on the expansive back deck. Then retire inside to the fireplace and all of the cozy, cuddly spaces Caribou Cabin has to offer.

Caribou Cabin's main level features the open living room with vaulted ceiling, dining area, open kitchen, spacious laundry room, sizable master bedroom with plush king sized bed, private master bath and walk-in closet, large 2nd bedroom with comfy queen bed, large 2nd full bath and the extensive deck which will seat a large family for meals. The downstairs suite features a large studio type apartment with sitting area, Franklin stove, small kitchen, comfy queen size bed, small built in baby crib, full bathroom with an oversized soaking tub/shower, and finally, an outdoor, weather-protected seating area with its own private door and private outdoor stairway which can be used exclusively for lower suite guests. Both levels are accessible to each other from an interior stairway as well. The entire house sleeps 6 people comfortably, with an additional bed for a baby or small child. A queen sized inflatable mattress is also available when needed for up to 2 more people.

The entire house and property

We are always available to talk with guests. Guests check themselves in, no owner contact necessary. Owners will only interact if guests would like. We love to interact but only if the guest desires that.

You will be a short drive from town and endless outdoor excursions waiting to be explored by you and your family! Directions to many of the local waterfalls (my favorite), zip lining adventures, tubing, fishing, hiking, etc., will be provided to you, as our guests, along with many other options. We only recommend the best of the best for you to experience. And if you are interested in exploring local towns, trying out the local eateries and shopping, antiquing, or enjoying our Friday night Groovin' on the Green outdoor concerts in Cashiers, this area has it all and won't disappoint.

Our family has been summering on Lake Glenville since the early 1960s and, as a 3rd generation vacation rental manager, I can offer tons of local knowledge along with this fantastic mountainside retreat so that you and your loved ones can get the most out of your vacation!

****PLEASE NOTE**** During the peak months of June, July and August, we will be taking minimum weekly rentals, as opposed to 4, 5, and 6 night rentals. Multiple nightly rental inquires during these 3 peak months, that are less than 1 week in length will be considered if the calendar allows.

Also, if you are interested in a lakefront vacation home on Lake Glenville on 5 secluded acres with 500' of shoreline and a private dock, we also own Moore Mountain Inn, Homeaway Listing 4149368. We also own Mom's Place, Homeaway Listing 162191, for a cute, affordable lakeview cabin with a spectacular view.

There is a one time $75 dog guest fee, per dog, which I will send you a separate request for after you book. I’m sorry but cats are not allowed due to peoples allergies.
- if bringing a dog, the dog must be well behaved, flea free, house trained and not a chewer or scratcher. There is a $75 dog guest fee.
- cats are not allowed, sorry! too many people are allergic.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Perfect getaway

This rental was everything we have been looking for in a VRBO in the Lake Glenville area. The location was so easy to find thanks to our host who went over and beyond with clear communication of the property. The house was spacious and well stocked just like being in our own home. We enjoyed the short walk to the lake with our fur baby. We are already planning our next visits! Thanks Lisa!

Beautiful views

This area is gorgeous. There are a lot of trails and waterfalls around to explore. The kayaks are great to have to explore or fish on the lake. It’s quiet and peaceful. The upper level of the house is very nice, pretty well equipped kitchen. Amazing views from the living room and the covered back deck. 20 min from Cashiers which is quaint with groceries, some restaurants, a brewery, some shopping. Just a beautiful area all around.

Cutest cabin on the lake with new renovations and super helpful owner

Our experience at Caribou Cabin was a 10/10!! We arrived at night but our cabin notes from Lisa were super helpful and thorough (provided to us weeks in advance)! The cabin renovations felt brand new and done well. Beautiful gas fireplace, new kitchen appliances and farmhouse sink, barn sliding doors, beautiful bathroom vanities high enough for us tall people, and comfy bedding and beds! The view from our master bed every morning was so amazing that we left our blinds open on the full glass doors so that we could soak in every sunrise over the lake. The yard was huge and I loved that it is cleared and grassy so that we could enjoy the walk around the property and the amazing firepit. Hubby built a huge fire that we had to enjoy from the covered roof back porch on the last night because it was raining. Lastly, the downstairs apartment was perfect for our teen! She loved having her own space. By the way, the highlight of our trip was visiting Arrowmont Stables for a horse trail ride through the mountains! Lisa has thought of it all from the farmhouse chic renovations to the detailed notes on things to do in the area! Thank you for helping us make lasting family memories!

Amazing escape!

Walking into this home, you are immediately hit with just an absolutely stunning view. The home is gorgeous, clean, and relaxing. We are hoping to make this an annual stay. Lisa went above and beyond to keep us informed about everything included detailed information about the area. I highly recommend hiking to High Falls and renting a pontoon boat to explore Lake Glenville! Both the hike and marina are just minutes away. We came to escape for a few days and just fell in love with the area. We will be back to the Caribou Cabin!

What an amazing place!

This was our first time at Lake Glenville and what a wonderful and relaxing week we had! The house was perfect and had some beautiful views. I cannot put into words how stunning the sunrise was that we woke up to every morning. Lake access was so easy and we spent every day floating and kayaking and paddle boarding. The pup is a total lake doggie now! Lisa was so helpful in checking in on us and giving us tips on what to do. We will definitely be back!!
