WELCOME

Welcome to the website for the Waterdance© property owners association. We are a mountain and river community in Cullowhee, North Carolina. Waterdance© is located in beautiful western North Carolina near the towns of Cashiers, Highlands, Tuckasegee, Sylva, and Dillsboro. We are just north of Lake Glenville, the highest elevation large lake east of the Rockies. Jackson County is known for its many waterfalls and mountain views. Waterdance© is an easy and scenic drive from Asheville (60 miles) and Atlanta (150 miles).

Enjoy long range views at Waterdance© from elevations as high as 3,500 feet. Enjoy excellent fly fishing on our own section of the West Fork of the Tuckasegee River. Enjoy our mountain top and river pavilions. Enjoy our well-maintained paved roads, gated access, trails, and a variety of homes and homesites — some with long range views, some with water front, and some with both.

The board of directors and homeowners of Waterdance© invite you to learn more about our amazing mountain and river community. Please check out the information and images on our website. Please use the "contact us" feature for more information. Members (homeowners) may access the password-protected sections of the website. Thanks for visiting our website, and please visit in person!
