A Mountain Vacation Experience You'll Never Forget

The Lodge | Adventures | Specialties

Remember that sense of wonder and adventure that gave childhood its magic? Well, get ready to feel it again! We've crafted the storybook mountain getaway of our dreams, and it's proven time and time again to fulfill the fondest dreams of our guests. We're committed to meeting your most discriminating standards. But more than that, we strive to delightfully surprise you at every turn. You expect excellence; Earthshine gives you "unforgettable."


Rustic Elegance At Its Finest

Our 1½ story, hand-built cedar log lodge opens to one of the finest views in Eastern America. Magnificent rock fireplaces, patchwork quilts, stained glass lamps and log beds and rockers add to the mountain feel. Each of our ten guest rooms has a sparkling private bath. Eight have private balconies for two, and Little House On The Prairie lofts making each room perfect for any size family.

Resting atop one of the grandest ridges in the Appalachians, Earthshine Mountain Lodge is the storybook country inn of your imagination. Earthshine, open year-round for families or groups, is located between Brevard and Cashiers, North Carolina, in the famed Toxaway resort area. Our 83 acre "grandmother's farm" borders Pisgah National Forest and is lovingly built upon a 100 year old homestead.

Adventure Awaits . . .

(All activities are included in our guest tariff!)

Mine for gems in our on-site "Crystal Creek."


Challenge yourself with an unforgettable experience on our ropes course, 31' climbing wall, or unique "Flight Thru the Treetops" zip course.

Explore our network of hiking trails through pristine mountain terrain to waterfalls and rivers.


Become a Pioneer or Cherokee for a morning, travel back in time and learn skills like blacksmithing and wool-spinning. Care for goats, sheep, chickens, donkeys and ducks. Collect apples and press cider - then enjoy the results!

Join us in rousing evening sing-a-longs, mountain dances, scavenger hunts, story-telling and zany games.  

Relax! Rocking chairs and hammocks are a key part of the Earthshine experience. Let the peace and splendor of these amazing mountains renew your spirit.
