Highlands NC | Cashiers NC

The Highlands – Cashiers Plateau is rich in history yet features refinements rarely found in village life such as world class shopping, golfing, and restaurants. Accommodations range from five star hotels to rustic cabin rentals while real estate ranges from in-town living, country clubs and home estates. The pristine waterfalls, rivers and lakes as well as the miles of hiking trails complete the tapestry of things to do.
