Highlands & Cashiers, NC.
Highlands and Cashiers are the Blue Ridge's quietest, highest-altitude resort towns — old-South-money summer compounds, no chains, country clubs and cottage rentals. The independent-hotel core is small and excellent: Old Edwards Inn (Forbes 5-star), High Hampton (recently restored 1922 inn), the Park on Main, the Greystone Inn at Lake Toxaway.
