Reserve Your Chateau Getaway

Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2017/06 - June

Eagles soar high above the trees as you relax in style at the Chateau just two miles outside the quaint mountain town of Highlands. 

This expansive retreat is the perfect spot for every occasion.  Whether you are looking to host a multi-generational family reunion, a social gathering for your favorite charity or your business, or just sprint away with several friends, you could not find a more welcoming venue than the Chateau.  As your guests soak in the beauty of the surrounding mountains, your private chef is creating gastronomical delights in the Pavilion kitchen.  

Music buffs enjoy sleeping where Bill Berry of REM laid his head when he owned this masterpiece.  Bunks for the grans now fill the room that was once the photography studio.  Let the adults in your entourage choose between the other six luxurious suites.  Are you a fledgling artist or a writer who needs to finish a manuscript?  The well-appointed suites of the Chateau can provide the perfect surroundings to get the job done.         

Mesmerizing views greet you from every room whether you are in the twins in the Crow’s Nest or on the Terrace Level balcony.  The glistening sun shimmers off the rugged face of Whiteside Mountain, casting shadows over Horse Cove.

In the distance, you can see four mountain ranges as you look eastward toward Cashiers and Sapphire.  Challenge friends to identify Black Rock or Big Bear Pen mountains.  Can you tell the difference in the Turpin Mountains – Big and Little?  Not into geography of the area?  Relax in the hot tub or finish that billiards game as your favorite tunes play on the juke box.  Enjoy your favorite card game or finish a puzzle.  Movie buffs have a couple of options.  Gather in the 12-seat Home Theatre with Surround Sound and freshly popped corn or curl up in your suite with your private movie.

With multiple fireplaces throughout the house and each of the Guest Suites offering a balcony and coffee station you may find it hard to get going in the morning.  Fill your days as you wish.  Hike the trails, build your I-cloud file with wild flower photos, explore the shops and restaurants, zip line or shoot the rapids, golf in one of the many area courses. 

All of these activities and more are just minutes away from the Chateau.  Let the Chateau’s personal concierge help you optimize your visit to the area.  She’s a valuable resource.
