About Glenville
Set high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Jackson County, Glenville is a peaceful community centered around scenic Lake Glenville. At roughly 3,500 feet above sea level, it offers cool summer breezes and a classic mountain lake lifestyle, with plenty of room for boating, swimming, and fishing. Day-to-day life is quiet and spread out, though Highway 107 connects residents quickly to dining and shops in Cashiers to the south and Cullowhee to the north. It is an appealing spot for anyone looking for waterfront views and a slower, rural pace in western North Carolina.
