5 years ago I was working for Centex Destination Properties. We were involved in building a new
resort in Tuckaseegee {halfway between Cashiers and Sylva}. It is a fantastic 2100 acre property
set on Bear Lake.
The Clubhouse is what I am most proud of.
The main level houses the lobby, a restaurant, private dining room, kitchen,
great room with a fireplace, bar and offices.
This is the Great Room:
On the other side of the dual fireplace is the bar.
We worked to infuse the rustic elements of the property with a contemporary edge. Notice the wooden
barstools upholstered with embossed leather and finished with nail head trim, metal custom-wrapped
fireplace etched with an acid stain, reclaimed wood floors, and glass tiles laid horizontally in the backsplash
I so wish that I was present during this photo shoot. It needs props and flowers so badly!
On the other side, is the restaurant. The wall of glass doors to the left, slide open to extend the dining
area onto the porch, overlooking the pool.
Behind this dual fireplace and folding doors is the private dining room.
It is a secluded, smaller, more intimate dining area.
Downstairs is the lounge area.
The doors in the back left corner lead to the library.
{That metal tray above the fireplace in the Library used to hang above my fireplace in my last house!
What we don't do for our clients, right?}
There are wonderful outdoor fireplaces to enjoy.

After the completion of the Clubhouse, I moved on to design the Mountain Lodges {below} which
are located just above the Clubhouse.

It really is a beautiful resort. If you are interested in visiting or finding out more about
what they have to offer, then jump over to their website.
