We have been to Earthshine Mountain Lodge for three years now. As cheesy as some will probably think this sounds, it is literally our home away from home. We really do feel like we're at home when we're at Earthshine. The staff are the finest group of people you'll ever meet, and every single one of them is extremely passionate... More

Thismis the 4th year in a row I have taken my 2 daughters to Earthshine Lodge for Zip Lining. We always have a great time and our guides are very knowledgable, safety minded and have a great sense of humor. They make sure everyone has fun and feels safe!

Came here with three schoolage boys - and the place and its workings are fabulous. Great activities for children - zipline, ropes, climbing wall, nature and creek exploration,.... Amazingly knowledgeable staff and tremendously helpful and engaging for the younger folks (pretty good for us older folk too). Lodge sits in lovely spot; interesting wood details abound.

This year someone asked if we come all the way from England just to stay at Earthshine - well, yes, we do! Three times now. Agreed, this is not a luxury hotel, it is indeed a rustic lodge, in the midst of some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever see, with staff who become friends, delicious food (always... More

We spent four nights at Earthshine and had an amazing time. We had one of the loft rooms at the lodge for ourselves and our two kids. All meals and snacks are included and they are family-friendly without being bland. (Example: homemade chicken pot pie with home-made corn bread) Salad bar and fresh fruit, fixings for PBJs always on hand... More

My husband and two kids (age 14 and 11) and I, spent two days at Earthshine ziplining and doing the ropes course. We didn't spend the night, we just made 2 day trips from a Brevard. But we had a wonderful time. The lodge is absolutely beautiful and rustic. The surrounding land and views are spectacular. The employees at the... More
