About this property

Magic directly on Lake Glenville! Reserve for Summer 2025 now!! Going fast!

We are grateful for the beautiful reviews from our guests regarding their stays at The Perch on Lake Glenville! Many of our guests return each year and have become like family! 'The Perch' reflects the fact that our lodge is perched on the mountain directly on the lake and has beautiful 'perches' (porches) from which to enjoy the breathtaking views! The name of our place also emphasizes the whimsical nature of this special setting. Our home is directly on the lakefront of stunning Lake Glenville (the largest lake in the area), in Trillium’s golf, lake, and mountain resort community in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Cashiers. At an elevation of almost 4,000 feet, we are situated on one of the highest--and coolest--spots in the North Carolina Mountains.

The Perch on Lake Glenville is a very peaceful, inviting home-away-from-home, with soaring cathedral ceilings and post and beam construction. On the upper floor is a newly renovated kitchen and sitting area, great room with gorgeous dining area and gracious living area, a wood-burning stone fireplace and half bath. The master bedroom is also on this level and features a king bed, generous walk in closet, and a large bath with jetted tub and separate shower. A wrap around, covered deck with breathtaking views of Lake Glenville is accessible from the living area and has a new gas grill, table for dining, and plenty of seating.

The lower level of the lodge features a sitting room with a daybed and desk; additional master bedroom with a king bed, private full bath and closet. Two additional bedrooms have two twin beds, closets and full private bath. In this level there is also a TV/living area with a couch and a common area with sink, fridge and microwave. A closet in this area houses the new washer/dryer. The covered deck on this level is accessible from one of the the twin bedrooms and the living area and is equipped with a porch, lots of nice seating and access to the back yard, lake and dock.

We added a lower level deck and lakefront rock patio which is a perfect setting for enjoying all the lake has to offer!

Special features of The Perch include the tranquility of a special Lake Glenville location, immediate access to our backyard dock for boating and lake activities, private parking for up to three vehicles.

Lake Glenville is one of the centerpieces of the Trillium community. This 1500-acre lake is a water sports paradise. Fed by three waterfalls, the lake is a wonderful venue for swimming, skiing and wakeboarding. Canoeing, kayaking and simply cruising supply much enjoyment, especially at dusk when the sun is setting behind the mountains that border the lake. Pontoon boats and canoes are available for rent at The Trillium boat office and Signal Ridge Marina and there are other marinas on the lake that provide various types of boat rentals as well.

Membership in Trillium Links and Lake Club, which allows use of all Trillium amenities, is not included in the rental price, but is available to all renters at a very reasonable cost through the sales office. In addition to an exceptional clubhouse with breathtaking views, these amenities include a spectacularly scenic golf course, a chip and putt course, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a full service state-of-the-art fitness and massage center (including indoor tennis court, basketball, sauna, cardio and strength training equipment), swimming pool, fishing, hiking trails, horseback riding, the aforementioned boating, an attractive lake club with a newly renovated restaurant and bar. Tee times can be arranged starting at 1:00 pm . Many organized activities for both adults and children are also offered every week. Rivers, waterfalls, more lakes, and several national parks, including the Pisgah National Forest and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, are nearby. Whitewater rafting and paddling and the fabulous Biltmore Estate are all within an easy drive. Asheville is also home to other attractions such as a zoo and a botanical garden.

A grocery store, farmers' market, and other antique, arts and crafts and retail opportunities are conveniently located in the mountain village of Cashiers just a few minutes from Trillium. The town of Highlands, where art and antique galleries and shops selling local crafts line the main street, is approximately 10 miles away. Along with upscale shopping and restaurants of all kinds, spa services are available there. For those who enjoy music, the Brevard Music Festival which takes place every summer is always a treat. And in the fall, the leafing season provides a colorful backdrop against which to appreciate the tranquil beauty of this extraordinary mountain setting.

We are eager to meet you and hope that you will come experience the bountiful activities, beauty and peacefulness of both Trillium and western North Carolina!

We are limiting are guests to 6 people to preserve the beauty of The Perch!

Fantastic lake house experience!

I was there for a recent long weekend and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Beautiful hikes and great places to eat are right around the corner, and all the fun that Lake Glenville has to offer is quite literally right at your doorstep. The house itself is beautiful and it's clear that lots of work has gone into it. I would absolutely go back to the house again, and the owners were great!

Beautiful home and a terrific porch with view!

We enjoyed staying here very much. It's cozy and in a lovely neighborhood with plenty of amenities and a nice drive to Cashiers. We didn't get to play golf here because they had just aerated the course. Also, FYI, you can't get tee-times before 1 pm because of rental status. The pro was nice enough to set us up at another great course that we enjoyed.

Great Mountain Getaway!

We had a lovely time at this beautiful house. We had 4 adults (my husband and I, plus my parents). It was nice to have 2 king bed suites on different levels for more privacy, plus there were lots of places to congregate when we all wanted to be together, but also nooks and crannies to slip away to read a book or work. The lakefront location was perfect. My husband loved fishing on the dock, and we rented a pontoon boat from Signal Ridge Marina. The kitchen was very well-stocked. We went out, but also just enjoyed cooking and staying in and visiting. The owners were great to work with, too, when we had questions.

Gem on the lake

We've been renting in the Cashiers/Glenville area for over 20yrs but this was our 1st time staying at Trillium. The home is beautiful, cozy, nicely decorated, master bedroom at the entry level and 2 others downstairs with their own den/TV room. The view of lake Glenville from the house as well as the surrounding mountains is simply spectacular. The balconies alone are worth the stay. Although the home has a relatively small lot, and there are houses on each side, privacy is not an issue, and it feels secluded. The neighborhood has several nice trails and the house has direct water access and is an easy drive to Cashiers. The owner is quite accessible and a pleasure to work with. Truly a gem of a property.

Enjoyed the Perch!

House is wonderful and everyone had a great time! 5 stars on the house and working rental process with Sarah!! It’s hard to find rentals with good beds. This house has good beds (in my opinion)! Trillium club amenities are nice. Having the Landing lake club 100 yards away makes it easy to walk over for lunch. Love the personal trail by the water to get there. The clubs heated pool and hot tube was nice to visit daily. We brought our boat up too. The dock in back is great and makes the vacation that much more fun! If you plan on bringing your boat up, which I suggest you do, if you have one. Call Signal Ridge Marina and schedule to have your boat launched and trailer stored while there. Makes it very easy and price was $10 a day or $90 for the month to store trailer. Can’t wait to get back the again!!

A delightful haven that soothes and stimulates the heart, mind, soul, and body

The Perch is an absolutely delightful haven! Beautiful inside and outside...so very comfortable with every necessity for a stress free vacation at our finger tips...a gorgeous view of Lake Glenville from the porches and the rock terrace. We so enjoyed communing with nature on a variety of trails in the fabulous Trilium community and quaint local towns of Cashiers and Highlands. Trilium's Memorial Day Celebration was a special treat with great food, dancing to a live band, and a truly remarkable tribute to our veterans.

Wonderful Family Memories Were Made....

We visited in late August 2016. The temperature never got above 80 degrees which is what we were looking for to escape the Florida summer heat. It was beautiful! Enjoyed our time on the lake on our rented pontoon boat exploring the lake and the waterfalls. Water was not cold, but refreshing. Hiking trails are everywhere to enjoy nature. Played a lot of golf on the magnificent course. They let us rent a cart to take the family out to see the course in the evening. Was a highlight! We did it twice... We fished from the dock and caught small fish that thrilled the grandbabies. House itself was very well maintained and spacious. Plenty of room for the six of us. Two large decks provided serene views of the lake and it was only a short walk down to the water. Very easy to get up and down the hill to the water with two and three year olds. Do not hesitate to book this beautiful lodge!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Williams

Host profile image
We love sharing this special place with you and your families and have added many great improvements to enjoy in 2024. The Perch provides a setting that encourages relaxation and joy filled adventures. We were both born in rural areas and believe that engaging with nature is one of life's greatest gifts. The Perch on Lake Glenville is a place where we plan to make many memories and we hope that you will want to enter its doorway and its "Perches" over and over again!

Why they chose this property

Magical, serene lakefront lodge on Lake Glenville, with surrounding mountains and covered, lakefront decks on 3 separate levels as well as a rock porch on the lake level!! Few properties can compare to what The Perch has to offer.

We are limiting our guests to a maximum of 6 people in order to preserve our beautiful home!

What makes this property unique

We have renovated/expanded our previous galley kitchen and added a sitting room, which has a beautiful daybed for lounging and a desk for those who need to stay in touch with work or study for school!
Lakefront dwelling has no comparison! The feeling is one of complete peace, spaciousness, and total freedom. And the dock with reserved boat slip directly behind the house is one in a million!
