Fall photos from Cashiers, NC

I can't believe how pretty it still is around here with just a few days left in October.  The leaves are just coming into their peak.  Laurelwood Inn looks amazing! I've decided to just let the photos speak for themselves!  I took all of these this morning on my cell phone!

The photo above is showing the side of the "300's" building. All rooms have a king bed.

Here is a view of the main building.

You see this from our front porch!

This is a side view of the log suites building.

And this last photo is the road beside us. (Where you park for the 300's building)

I think it is going to be really pretty for at least another few weeks, so not to late for a trip to the mountains!  There are several fun events coming up.  This Friday there is a family friendly event called Goblins on the Green. And be sure to check out the Highlands Culinary Weekend starting the 7th of November.  Highlands is only 10 miles away and a really fun side trip if you are staying in Cashiers. 

Our Groupon deal ends tomorrow so check out our great winter/spring special at their site!  Hope to see you all soon!  Lise

Elk!

Mary and Bob enjoyed their backpacking trip on The Foothills Trail. We are so blessed to have all of this in our backyard!  There are many great day hikes along this river.  Just ask and we can point you in the right direction! Here is their view from where they slept:

The Cashiers area is beautiful right now! The leaves are close to peak and our town is busy with "leaf lookers" enjoying the area.  Here are a few photos taken this past week:

Bob and I went to Cataloochee last night to see the elk.  For those of you that don't know, the elk were reintroduced back into this area and are doing really well!  There is a great place to view them just over an hour drive from here.  They are amazing animals and so exciting to see them up close!  This is really worth the drive over to see them!  I will be happy to give you directions.

It appears we are finally going to be getting some cold weather in our area. They are forecasting low temperatures into the 30's for Wednesday and Thursday nights!  You can bet we will have a fire in our fireplace!

Just a reminder that our deal on Groupon ends next week. You can book stays into March but you must purchase this by next Monday night.  Go to http://www.groupon.com/deals/ga-bk-laurelwood-inn for more information!

Hope to see you soon!  Lise

Welcome to the Laurelwood Blog!

It's fall in the mountains!

I can't believe how beautiful the mountains are right now!  Laurelwood Inn is busy with guests coming to enjoy the leaves!  Cashiers has a busy weekend planned with a large arts and craft show at Sapphire Valley.  Just had to brag about our sign. Elizabeth, one of the twins, was home on fall break with some friends and they took over decorating our sign for fall! Didn't they do a great job?

We just broke a winter special with Groupon, so if you have any plans to come over the winter be sure to check out http://www.groupon.com/deals/ga-bk-laurelwood-inn   The deal must be purchased by the end of October but we have dates available for your stay into March!

In other news, yesterday Bob and our daughter Mary set out on a back packing trip for the weekend. They will be hiking part of The Foothills Trail. They even took our dog Bailey!  You can see from the photo I took how excited they all look!

I sure hope they don't encounter this guy that has been hanging around Cashiers! This is a photo from our neighbors backyard!

Well, hope you are enjoying fall, my favorite season!  Please check out our special and come see us soon!
