Our very own Chip Freeman won the fourth annual Gumbo Cook-Off contest at @ecustabrewing last night 👏🏼

Winners were selected by the 200+ attendees who sampled Gumbo creations by both amateurs and professionals.

Tickets and raffle proceeds were donated to Almost Home Dog Rescue NC, @almosthomedogrescuenc .

The second image is provided by Ecusta Brewing.
The third image shows Chip Freeman unloading a delicious batch of shrimp during our 2022 Annual Oyster Roast. Chip also cooked the Brunswick Stew at this event (we’ve always known he was talented!)

We are so proud to have Chip on our team and applaud his big win at the Gumbo Cook-Off!

📍 Whitewater Falls⁠
Located approximately 11 miles, or 21 minutes from our office (100 Waterfall Circle, Lake Toxaway, NC 28747).⁠
⁠
Whitewater falls is the highest waterfall east of the Rockies. The falls plunge 411 feet. The land is a perfect haven for a rich array of ferns, mosses, and fungi (information from USDA Forest Service). ⁠
⁠
The second image is from "Images of America, Transylvania County" by Yvonne McCall-Dickson. The caption reads, "Whitewater Falls has the highest cascade in Eastern America. This view was taken in the 1940s. (Photo courtesy of Jo Ann Alderman.)"⁠
⁠
If you are viewing Lower Whitewater Falls during winter, when the leaves are down from the trees, the wreckage of a plane will be visible on the mountainside to the left of the falls. In the early 1970's, two couples died while trying to get a good view of the falls from the air (information from our hiking guide). ⁠
⁠
Stop by our office to pick up a hiking guide to explore Whitewater Falls and other remarkable outdoor recreation areas surrounding Lake Toxaway and within the estates. Our hiking guide includes directions, round trip trail length, difficulty, and trail time.

Through a poll conducted by @onlyinyourstate , readers voted for Lake Toxaway as a top contender in "10 of the Most Beautiful Lakes in North Carolina". To see the article, click the link in our bio. ⁠
⁠
"Lake Toxaway is quite the size as far as lakes go, with over 640 acres and over 14 miles of beautiful shoreline. This isn’t just a recreational lake, but that’s a predominant reason it’s so popular. Fishing, swimming, hiking, and paddling can all be enjoyed here."

From our family to yours, happy Thanksgiving.

On this Day in History⁠
⁠
Nov. 7, 1902⁠
⁠
The Western North Carolina Times ran a story about the "Beautiful Sapphire Country" with this account of scaling Mt. Toxaway. 120 years have passed since this story ran and yet, it is as relevant today as it was then. ⁠
⁠
"Next morning we take the road to the mountain, and after a drive of some three or four miles find ourselves high up in the world and eventually reach the top of Hogback or Toxaway mountain, and find that we have left a good deal of the world below us and have emerged on to a little table land from which we may hold converse, as it were, with the giant mountains miles and miles away on every side. Chimneytop, Whitesides, the Balsams, and Pisgah and the distant Black mountains rise up to greet us as we reach the majesty and mystery of the higher world. The cloud shadows travel athwart the hillsides and the flitting mist below and around us, remnants of the recent rain, alternating with the sunlight, produce a lovely, dappled effect as they rise and silent pass on." ⁠

In 2008, a $9 million course renovation project led by noted architect Kris Spence elevated the golf experience at Lake Toxaway to a new level. No longer considered a quaint mountain golf course, the course’s new design provides for a truly unique and challenging experience that rivals any golf course in Western North Carolina. ⁠
⁠
"The renovations to the Lake Toxaway course have made it a fun and challenging test of golf. It's a golf course I look forward to playing while on vacation and one that can keep me sharp while away from the PGA tour."⁠
- Matt Kuchar, PGA Superstar, 2016 Olympic Golf Bronze Medalist⁠

“Dancing of the Autumn leaves on a surface of a lake is a dream we see when we’re awake.”⁠
-Mehmet Murat Ildan⁠
⁠
Happy Fall everyone! The Autumnal Equinox begins today. ⁠
The changing color of the leaves paints a breathtaking image where the green landscape transitions to shades of yellow, orange and crimson. We are so lucky to live in a place where we are able to see this take place! Predictions conclude Lake Toxaway will see peak foliage color around the third to fourth week of October.⁠
⁠
On the second slide, we are sharing some of the best places to view Autumn color provided by @romanticasheville ‘s “Fall Color Forecast 2022, Asheville & NC Mountains”. This timeline was created by tracking foliage peak times (and the best places to view them) over the past 15 years. Head to their site to learn more about fall events, best photo spots, and leaf viewing tips. ⁠
⁠
On the third slide, we are sharing a Fall Color Peak Map provided by the Department of Biology at Appalachian State University, @appstate. This map shows the estimated times of fall color peaks for various regions of North Carolina. Neufeld and Denslow based these predictions on the effects of both elevation and latitude.⁠
⁠
We hope you enjoy this beautiful season, and don’t forget to tag us in your fall photos of Lake Toxaway!⁠

“There is something so special in the early leaves drifting from the trees– as if we are all to be allowed a chance to peel, to refresh, to start again.”⁠

📍Toxaway Falls, located right below our office!

In 1916, the Toxaway Dam burst, spilling 5.3 billion gallons of water down the gorge. All vegetation was stripped away, and residents reported seeing a 30-foot-tall wave of water that left debris nearly 4 miles downstream. This created the widely exposed bedrock we see at the falls today.
