A Home Where Woods and Meadow Meet

A family retreat in Cashiers blends four distinct experiences—main home, guest cabins, outdoor terrace, and wine cave—into one serene mountain setting.

Set in a quiet meadow at the edge of a forest in western North Carolina, this summer retreat for an Atlanta family is designed to celebrate the site’s natural contrasts. A refined main home opens onto sweeping views, while two guest cabins offer distinct experiences — one rustic, the other airy. A hidden wine cave and outdoor terrace create space for quiet moments or intimate celebrations. Designed to feel both polished and grounded, the residence embraces the landscape and offers multiple ways to live, gather, and recharge.

We designed this retreat to feel rooted in place—elegant enough to entertain, but relaxed enough to truly unwind.

Inspired by the site’s own shifts from meadow to forest, the home is an intentional blend of light and open spaces that give way to hushed and tonal moments.
