📍 Open House Event | Mount Soma, Clyde | Saturday, May 23
Two unique mountain retreats. One community. One afternoon to explore them both.
🏡 Open House | Saturday, May 23 | 11:30 AM–1:00 PM
Hosted by Danielle Fontenot | Firefly Realty
This Saturday, both available cottages in the gated Mount Soma community will be open — a rare opportunity to tour two distinctive income-producing mountain properties back to back and experience this one-of-a-kind setting for yourself.
12 Lila Lane | MLS #4375360
A versatile 3-level cottage currently part of Mount Soma's short-term rental program, with each level rented individually. Upper level with full kitchen, private deck, and ensuite bedroom. Main level kitchenette and bonus room with deck access. Lower level fully independent suite with exterior entrance. Mini-split systems and propane heat throughout.
14 Lila Lane | MLS #4372672
Another 3-level cottage with three fully independent living spaces — each with its own kitchen or kitchenette, full bath, and private deck or exterior entrance. Upper two levels can combine into a single two-story residence, or operate separately. Lower level features a private bedroom, full kitchen, and separate exterior entrance.
Both properties sit within the serene, peaceful grounds of Mount Soma near the Vedic Temple of North Carolina — walking trails, tranquil community spaces, and mountain views all around. About 15 minutes to I-40 and 30 minutes to Waynesville.
Whether you're an investor, a lifestyle buyer, or simply curious about this remarkable community — Saturday is your chance to see it in person.
Come explore. I will be there to answer all your questions!

Forest Service News Release

Fire restrictions on all four National Forests in North Carolina beginning April 15

Dry conditions and fire danger remain high across North Carolina

ASHEVILLE, N.C., April 14, 2026—The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service will restrict all open burning and campfires outside of developed recreation sites on North Carolina’s four national forests starting Wednesday, April 15, 2026, in response to the elevated fire danger occurring across the state.

The restriction includes building, maintaining or using an open fire, campfire or stove fire on the Pisgah, Nantahala, Uwharrie and Croatan National Forests. Visitors are still permitted to use commercially available fuel stoves, such as portable propane camp stoves or covered charcoal grills. Forest Service-provided grills, metal fire rings and firepits are also available for public use at developed recreation sites and campgrounds while the restriction is in effect.

These restrictions will remain in effect until there is a change in fire danger to reduce the risk of human-caused fires during unusually high fire danger and/or burning conditions.

Fire professionals analyze several factors when deciding to enact fire restrictions. These factors include the number of human-caused fires, fire danger ratings, persistent adverse weather conditions, fuel moisture conditions, and the potential threat to firefighters and public safety.

The restriction on the four federally managed national forests follows the statewide ban issued on all open burning.

For more information, visit www.fs.usda.gov/r08/northcarolina, follow the National Forests in North Carolina on Facebook (www.facebook.com/nfsnc), or contact the local district ranger’s office.
