Nestled contentedly in a rolling expanse of the Cashiers area of the Blue Ridge Mountains, there exists a place where home settings and amenities emerge naturally from the land-as if they always have been. Rather than move over the landscape, we let the land guide the flow to create the beautiful regulation-length 9-hole walking course. The result is "Nature Walk"—the only mountain course at 4,000 feet that allows you to leave the cart behind and truly be one with nature. It's a place surrounded by pristine national wilderness. Chinquapin's ecologically pristine setting forms a natural paradise for enjoying your favorite activities in a serene environment. Cashiers is renowned for its array of boutiques and specialty shops, which overflow with antiques, jewelry, works of art and handmade indigenous furniture. Local restaurants satisfy every taste, from gourmet to down-home. Just minutes away, mountains soar to 5,000 feet and hiking paths, waterfalls and scenic overlooks beckon everyone from casual picnickers to seasoned hikers. Stay just minutes away at the Hampton Inn with its stunning mountain views and gorgeous scenic trails and unforgettable waterfalls, its nature at her best in the Hills of North Carolina. Enjoy amenities such as a complimentary breakfast, indoor pool and a fitness center.
