With accommodations for 24, our Lodge is beautifully integrated into the Western North Carolina landscape of mountain views, river, forests, and gardens. We serve as a model for ecologically responsible business in our area.

We realize that we no longer have the luxury of indulging ourselves in the illusion that the global warming issue is too big to deal with. It IS up to us. Carbonfund.org provides us not only with the means to offset our remaining emissions, but also to inform and engage our guests in a meaningful way.
