Escape to this tranquil estate nestled in the Appalachian Mountains, on your own private cove - It exudes Luxury!! Once the playground of Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone and Henry Ford - the Western Transylvania County of Lake Toxaway's historical reputation precedes it... “The season at Lake Toxaway is at flood tide of social gaiety,” the Asheville Citizen reported on July 28, 1907, advertising the resort’s “Annual Regatta and Opening Ball.” “Flood” was a good word choice. Since the Toxaway Company opened its fifth hotel at Lake Toxaway in 1903, the land of waterfalls had become a top tourist destination. “A year ago what is now Lake Toxaway was a deep gorge in the mountains, heavily timbered and of little or no use to mankind,” the Washington Post proclaimed in 1904\. “And now the Southern Railway is pushing the ‘sapphire country’ along with Asheville and the ‘land of the sky.’” Lake Toxaway is still the largest private lake in North Carolina and is surrounded by Hawk Mountain, Panthertail Mountain, Cold Mountain, and Mt. Toxaway along with several wilderness areas totaling over 10,000 adjoining acres (40 km2). It lies at an elevation of 2979 feet (908 m). Lake Toxaway, three miles long and one mile wide and with a shoreline of 14 miles, was the very first lake built in the Appalachians. ... Only property owners and their guests have access to Lake Toxaway who enjoy swimming, boating, waterskiing, sailing and fishing. It presents a cherished mountain living experience that serves as a welcomed retreat from the stress and frenzy of the everyday world. Isn’t this where you belong? ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Fenced private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 6.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Accessible parking space - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Strict no smoking in house policy. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - Next to a golf course - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Boat - Golf - Gym - Kayak - Optional golf privileges - Pickleball - Tennis - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![House (3 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93210000/93205700/93205611/46b25335.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Deck + Fire Pits: Lake Toxaway Getaway!
