etting away from it all…
He a d i ng for t h e op e n
road… Leaving your cares
behind. Destination- the unstuffy
elegance of High Hampton Inn,
Cashiers, NC.
As you travel to your destination, you’ll marvel at the diverse
scenery and beauty that surrounds you along highway 64
towards Cashiers. Past issues of
“Good Times Flow” have referred
to the Highlands area, about 20
miles South on this route known
as the “water fall highway,” as
the best kept secret in North
Carolina.
The Crown Jewel of Cashiers is
the High Hampton Inn, known
for its employees greeting guests
by name. So do other guests, because they’ve been coming there
every season for many generations. It’s a place known for its
24
Southern hospitality since the
19th century.
Nestled high in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, tall
hemlocks and mountain laurel
accent the mixed hardwoods
of this 1400 acres of majestic
mountains, a private thirty acre
lake, and gardens surrounding
the historic country inn. The
rustic architecture of the Inn and
guest cottages blends with the
natural beauty of the mountains
and valley. In the lobby of the Inn,
a huge stone chimney with its
four fireplaces provides a warm
and friendly welcome. All meals
are included in the price of your
stay, including a fabulous buffet
selection that is listed as one of
the best in Gourmet Magazine’s
“Let’s Eat Out” section.
The vacation cottages are beautifully decorated with cathedral
