Family Whitewater Rafting in NC

Family Resorts in the NC Mountains

A family resort should be a place you visit that you don't have to leave and, if it's a good family resort, you won't want to leave.

Nestled in the NC Mountains near Cashiers NC is a unique family resort, Earthshine Mountain Lodge that meets both of these. It has mountain charm, on-site activities and programs, great meals included, and friendly faces everywhere. It's small and personal. Maxixmum capacity is 50 to 75 people, depending on the make up of the families and groups.

There are many other things to do in the area if you can pry yourself away from Earthshine for a few hours. Hiking, viewing waterfalls, canoeing, whitewater rafting, and gem mining are just a few of the nearby activities.

A stay a Earthshine Mountain Lodge will be a unique and memorable experience for your family!
