We are a unique retreat center and mountain lodge located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Staying in the lodge is a one-of-a-kind experience that guests have been enjoying on their vacations for over 40 years. The lodge has all the architectural elements that you would expect from a rustic mountain lodge – stone fireplaces, antler chandeliers, creaky wood floors, rocking chairs, and two large decks with mountain views for miles. Located in beautiful Lake Toxaway, only a short drive from Asheville and Brevard, Earthshine Lodge is more than just a place to stay. We call ourselves your “basecamp for adventure” as we provide comfortable accommodations, incredible views, and amazing food to fuel your explorations. There is a lot to explore on our property, but we also encourage you to visit the amazing natural wonders in this area. The 76-acre property is ideally located near Pisgah National Forest, Gorges State Park, Nantahala National Forest and Dupont State Forest, offering access to all that western North Carolina has to offer!
