Summer Cove is a gated lakeside community tucked into a quiet cove at the north end of Lake Glenville. You reach it from Pine Creek Road, on a paved drive that winds through open pasture at Black Angus Farm before arriving at the gate. The community covers about 24 acres, with oversized wooded lots that mix lakefront and lake view homesites.
The cove is one of the most private spots on the lake. Boat traffic is lighter here than on the main body of Lake Glenville, so early morning swims and quiet paddles are part of everyday life. Gently sloping, sandy-bottom areas along the shoreline make getting into the water easy.
Summer Cove does not have a golf course or club membership. Golfers have options close by, though. Trillium Links & Lake Club offers a private links-style course on the other side of Lake Glenville. In Cashiers, High Hampton offers its restored Tom Fazio course.
Lake Glenville is right outside your door. At 1,470 acres, it is one of the highest lakes of its size in the Eastern U.S. It is known for boating, waterskiing, fishing, and swimming, with marinas and boat rentals around the shoreline. Cullowhee and Western Carolina University are just to the north, with concerts, theater, and college sports. Cashiers is a short drive south for dining, shopping, and the Village Green, and Highlands is just beyond. The Nantahala National Forest surrounds the area with hiking trails and waterfalls.
