Each August, the Cashiers Designer Showhouse transforms a private residence into a dynamic showcase of style and vision—and this year’s 28th annual edition, running August 22–30, promises to be one of the most compelling yet. A fundraiser for the Cashiers Historical Society, the Showhouse draws design lovers from across the Plateau and beyond, supporting efforts to preserve the cultural fabric of the Cashiers Valley through education, advocacy, and stewardship.
This year’s home, built by Loudermilk Homes and located in Saratay Falls, is a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath property with generous entertaining spaces and expansive views. At its core is a dramatic great room with a fireplace and 12-foot pocket sliding doors opening onto a covered porch. The chef’s kitchen features a large island, top-tier appliances, and a pass-through bar to the grilling porch. A dining room framed in floor-to-ceiling windows leads to a private patio, while the owner’s suite includes 21-foot ceilings, forest views, and a spa-like bath. Upstairs are three additional bedroom suites and a second living area.
The 2025 design roster features a wide range of regional talent, each contributing their own aesthetic perspective. Designers include Liz Meyers with Atelier Maison & Co., Ann Miller Hopkins with A-List Antiques, Melanie Couch and Nancy Dyleski with Spruce Interiors, Rebecca McCracken and Lisa Hodge with The Summer House by Reeves, Eric Ross Interiors, Courtney Moss Design, Courtney Brown with Agosti Interior Design, Yancey Seibert Interior Design, Louise Hane Interior Design, Caroline Brackett Studio, Sarah Kowalski with J. Banks Design Group, and Roane Loudermilk with Loudermilk Designs.
But the Showhouse isn’t just about interiors. Tucked into the garage is a pop-up art gallery featuring 12×12 works by regional and national artists, available for silent auction bidding throughout the event. Meanwhile, The Showhouse Shops in Lewis Hall at The Village Green offer a lively retail experience, with antiques, décor, apparel, and accessories from stylish vendors. A portion of all sales supports CHS’s mission to preserve and celebrate the history and heritage of the Cashiers Valley.
Festivities kick off with an Opening Night Party at the private Blue Star Ranch—just one of several special events planned throughout the week. Tickets for the Showhouse and related events are available at CashiersHistory.org and select local retailers. Whether you’re a design devotee or simply in search of inspiration, the Cashiers Designer Showhouse offers a perfect blend of elegance, creativity, and cause.
