It’s always porch weather in Cashiers

One of the main reasons to come to these wonderful mountains is the outdoors! Our screened porch is one of our favorite spots to relax. Start your day with a cup of coffee ☕️ and listen to the birds. Or wind down with a glass of wine 🍷 in front of a fire in our wood-burning fireplace built from local stone and poplar bark.

Fall Fun in Cashiers

It all begins with an idea.

Vivid colors, cozy weather, and nights spent by a warm stone fireplace in the fresh mountain air…is there anything better than the fall season in the mountains? And while Highlands and Cashiers have historically been thought of as a summer destination, “The Season” has increasingly included plenty of fall and winter activities.

The best news is that you can enjoy the slower pace and a cozy experience while still having tons to do! Check out this list of upcoming fall and winter season events and book your stay at Old Willow Cottage to make the most of the season. And when you get back to the cottage, you've got two fireplaces and plenty of tartan blankets to snuggle up with.
