115
Private acres
Secluded, walkable, and yours to discover.
115+ acres above Lake Glenville for retreats, restorative escapes, hosted weekends, and weddings.
Chimney Pond is where destination weddings and events feel like they belong. A private, century-old mountain estate where organic farming, refined hospitality rooted in the Japanese tradition of omotenashi, and unhurried days share the same 115 acres. Yours for the weekend, and yours alone.
For more than a hundred years, this has been a working mountain farm. It still keeps that rhythm: mornings begin with mist on the ridge and end with woodsmoke and stars, while the property unfolds at its own pace between a walk through the tree fields, a long lunch on the porch, and an afternoon by the lake.
Our hospitality draws from the Japanese principle of omotenashi -- anticipating what a guest needs before they ask, attending to every detail with care, and offering generosity without expectation. It is hospitality with restraint. A few perfect things, given room to breathe.
Our property is nestled within the Nantahala National Forest and Blue Ridge Mountains. Ten beautifully appointed homes across the 115+ acre estate welcome families, wedding parties, and retreat groups alike.
