Shadow of the Bear

As the magic hour of 5-o'clock nears, spectators begin to gather on the side of Highway 64, right on the scenic and mountainous Jackson/Macon County line just west of Cashiers. All are waiting to see one thing: the legendary "Shadow of the Bear,” a naturally-occurring phenomenon that makes its appearance for just a few weeks in the fall and the spring.

Southern Highroads

The Southern Highroads is like nowhere else in America. Breathtaking views, friendly people and fun-filled activities for the entire family help to explain why this road is being traveled more-not less-each year.

Waterfalls

There are more than 250 waterfalls scattered throughout Transylvania and Jackson counties, many of which are easily accessible to the public. Some require light hiking and others a bit more of a trek, while others still you can actually drive your car right under its overhang right on the highway.

Because of both the large number and variety of type of waterfalls located here, it's given rise to an active "waterfall hunting" community, with its members actively seeking out all the waterfalls they can. How many can you find during your stay with us?
