For a countryside getaway with family and friends, head to the Highlands in North Carolina, a fabulous region ideal for reconnecting with nature. The Sequoyah Lake House is typical of the architecture within this corner of the United States. Inside, it brilliantly blends a rustic style with modern touches. Its three wood-clad bedrooms, all fully in keeping with its outdoor appearance, are light-filled yet cozy, while its three bathrooms guarantee guests all the privacy you could wish for. All bedrooms benefit from views of the surrounding countryside, providing an instant immersion in this wonderfully soothing natural setting–truly the ideal destination for an enchanting break among the region’s mountains and valleys. The living room, which opens onto the veranda and the rear terrace, connects you to this captivating setting. The Sequoyah Lake House’s garden is bordered by water, and its small dock is the starting point for adventures on the calm, crystal-clear waters of the lake in individual kayaks or canoes. The rest of the time, you can spend your vacation barefoot, in complete serenity on the lawn of your garden, or explore the fresh air of the Blue Ridge Mountains during hikes in the forest, taking in the area’s magnificent waterfalls. Back at the Old Edwards Inn and Spa, take a relaxing break in its heated pools and outdoor hot tubs–a pleasant prelude to dinner at the hotel's restaurant, where you can enjoy cuisine that boldly revisits the culinary heritage of this corner of America.
