Littleton House

Imagine: enjoying full days of the Balsam Range Art of Music Festival, and then enjoying late evenings around the dinner table, rocking on a large front porch, and cozying up in front of a stone fire place. Striking just the right chord? Littleton House is still available for these dates…

July 10, 2022, marks 100 years since the Junaluska Cross was presented to the Assembly by J. R. McCrary. Since then, it has brought light and hope to many people's lives. The cross is turned and not facing the lake straight on because it was designed for people in Stuart Auditorium to be able to look up and see it facing them. We are so grateful to have this beautiful cross shining on the ridge to remind us every day of the goodness of our God. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it." John 1:5

If you have pictures of the cross, post them in the comments below so we can all share the beauty of the Junaluska Cross!

But breathe deep.

Preferably in the mountains.
At sunset.
Alongside your people.
