The Wells Hotel sits on five acres in the center of the Cashiers Plateau. Walk to a brewery, a coffee shop and the Village Green, then drive a few minutes to waterfalls, Whiteside Mountain and Lake Glenville. Leave the car in our lot. Everything below is a short stroll from your door.
Whiteside Mountain is a 12 minute drive from The Wells Hotel Cashiers. This 2-mile loop has cliff-edge views from nearly 5,000 feet. Moderate effort, small parking fee, and watch for peregrine falcons.
Silver Run Fall is only 4 miles away from the Wells Hotel Cashiers, or about a 7 minute drive. A short walk from roadside parking leads to a waterfall of roughly 25 feet and a swimming hole. This is the easiest waterfall in the area, perfect for families with young kids.
Cashiers Sliding Rock is a natural rock slide into a mountain swimming hole off Whiteside Cove Road. From street parking, follow trail to the right for 100 yards to the sliding Rock. Swimming holes are above and below the waterfall.

Whiteside Brewing Co. is on our property just next door. Enjoy beer brewed on site with seasonal specials, and a menu that runs from wings to smash burgers, and a lawn the whole family can use. Dogs are welcome. It's closed Wednesdays and occasionally for private events, so call ahead.

Just a short drive from Cashiers, Town Hall is a restaurant, bar, and big back lawn in downtown Highlands, NC. Kids can play corn hole while the parents settle in, and enjoy live music on weekends. The menu runs from Sliders and Sheet Pan Nachos to Southern Pot Roast and Pan-Roasted Salmon.

The Ugly Dog serves delicious pub fare, craft beer, and cocktails. Favorites include their wide selection of burgers, fried green tomatoes, and the Bourbon BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich. The Ugly Dog's Cashiers location is a 6 minute walk from our property, or a 2 minute drive.
