Plan your stay

Everything You Need to Know.

We'll be honest, Cashiers takes approximately zero effort to enjoy. But a little planning goes a long way when it comes to dinner reservations, rainy afternoons, and not getting lost on a mountain road at dusk. Here's what we'd tell a good friend...

When to visit

​Honestly? Any time.

Cashiers is a four-season destination, which is a rare thing. Each one has a personality. Here's a quick cheat sheet.

Peak season. Highs in the low 70s when Atlanta is melting at 95. Waterfalls are full, Silver Run Falls is perfect for swimming, and Groovin' on the Green is running every weekend. Book restaurants and activities early

June - August

The locals' favorite. Foliage peaks mid-October and it's genuinely jaw-dropping at 3,500 feet. The Shadow of the Bear phenomenon appears on clear days in late October: a bear-shaped shadow cast off Whiteside Mountain into the valley below. One of the most unique natural events in the Southeast.

September - November

The secret season. Fewer people, and a fireplace that finally earns its keep. Sapphire Ski Area opens for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing. The waterfalls occasionally freeze into dramatic ice formations. The Shadow of the Bear makes a second appearance mid-February. 

December - February

Wildflowers, waterfalls running high from snowmelt, and trails that haven't seen summer crowds yet. The best time for fly fishing, hatches of mayflies and caddis bring big trout to the surface on the Tuckasegee. Rhododendron blooms in late May are spectacular.

March - May
