Glenville House Details

The Essence of Glenmerle: In the late 70's, Sheldon Vanauken had A Severe Mercy published that chronicled the life and love of his relationship to his wife. The book spoke of perfect selfless love and of protecting that tender flame of love between two married people. A Severe Mercy became an immediate hit among idealistic college folk who dreamed of their future prince or princess, among young couples trying to recapture their initial romance, and middle-aged couples weary with the busyness of life, desperately wanting to rekindle their vows.

A Severe Mercy became winner of the National Book Award and Gold Medallion Award and continues to stir Christians to guard against all that corrupt a relationship. The book contains eighteen letters by C.S. Lewis, of Chronicles of Narnia fame, as he encourages his friend, author Vanauken, to embrace a faith that becomes a barrier against all destruction.

The book's setting predominately takes place at the home of the author, a place called Glenmerle. This peaceful retreat, far from civilization, became the jaunt of the couples' long walks, discussions, and picnics. The Vanaukens would run away to Glenmerle, amid lilacs, springs, trees, and quiet waters, when life became hectic and 'creeping separateness' threatened their marriage. The location is never identified as it symbolizes what Glenmerle eternally is. As the truths of this book have impacted our 28 year marriage, we seek to dedicate to the memory of the Glenmerle of A Severe Mercy this North Carolina version. It is our hope and prayer that your time here will reflect the same eternal purposes of undying faith, unconditional love, and a quiet timeless existence.

Ski: Nearby Sapphire Valley and Wolf Mountain offer attractive ski packages to their guests.

Golf: This area boasts of six premier public daily fee courses, while the nearby Waynesville Country club features 27 holes of golf that are framed by the blue-green North Carolina Mountains. There are also several exclusive private clubs in the area.

Guest Book: We have really enjoyed our time here. If I could put it in a word, it would be restoration. The tranquility and peace in this house has been so healing - body, soul and spirit. I also appreciate the tasteful and beautiful way every detail has been thought out to ensure comfort. I am grateful there are refuges of rest and peace like this around in the middle of a hectic, fast paced world. Thanks for following your dream for this place on behalf of all the people who will benefit. Bruce and Teri Truitt Woodstock, GA
