Glamping at Cashiers Historical Society | Cashiers Designer Showhouse
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2021/08 – August
The Cashiers Designer Showhouse will spotlight unexplored fields of mountain living. It’ll be staged August 21 through September 4.
Cashiers Historical Society is excited to announce that their annual Cashiers Designer Showhouse is going live again this year after a pivot last year when the event went mostly virtual due to the pandemic.
The event will be held Tuesday-Sunday(closed Mondays) August 21 through September 4 on the grounds of the Cashiers Historical Society at 1940 Highway 107 S in Cashiers.
How is that possible, you ask?
A Designer Showhouse without a house? What is this madness?
What it is, is genius. 2020 and early 2021 taught us nothing if not that “home is where the heart is,” and the ever-creative minds at CHS realized that close to home surrounded by our glorious natural resources is where we find our strength and center.
They are inviting everyone to go glamping, right in their
own backyard.
While you won’t actually be able to glamp overnight, you will be able to see a luxurious collection of six glamping tents, designed by six renowned designers: Douglas Hilton of DWH Interiors, Atlanta; Holly Laughridge of Old Edwards Inn & Acorns Boutique in Highlands; Parker Platt and Katie P. Jackson of PLATT, Brevard; Melanie Couch and Nancy Dyleski of Spruce Interiors, Highlands; Susan Vernon of Tribus, Greenville and Cashiers; and, Tori Alexander of Alexander Interiors, Nashville and Highlands.
In addition, they’ve included an opening night party, and a number of workshops, panel discussions, and other single day events to be held throughout the two-week period.
Several of these events require an additional ticket purchase, others do not. An emphasis will be placed on stewardship of our natural resources with the addition of eight stewardship partners for this unique Designer Showhouse event. Check the CHS website at cashiershistoricalsociety.org for the complete list.
Attendees will be able to shop with carefully selected vendors on site at the Vendor’s Village and Fieldsmen’s Retreat, and view work by 2021 artist-resident Shannon Whitworth. Additionally, tours of the historic buildings on the CHS campus will be available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00 until Noon, and on Thursdays and Fridays from 2:00 until 4:00.
Daily tickets are available for $40 on site, or for $35 when purchased in advance either online at cashiershistoricalsociety.org or at ticket outlets. A $25 virtual ticket is also available for those who wish to visit online only.
