EcoFriendly

Ecofriendly

Carolina Mornings supports green business models which reduce waste and conserve energy. That's why we have instituted an EcoFriendly certification program which allows property owners to participate in minimizing our environmental footprint. Every cabin certified as EcoFriendly maintains a recycling program in addition to choosing other green features such as low-wattage light bulbs, heat pumps, low-flow toilets, solar panels, and much more. Owners are encouraged to combine features which reduce carbon emissions, conserve energy and manage resources in a sustainable fashion. Our reservations and services offices also qualify as EcoFriendly under the same conditions... meaning that brokers and owners have jointly agreed to share the burden of preserving the natural integrity of Western North Carolina and the planet Earth at large.

We are also proud to participate in the National Wildlife Federation's "Backyard Habitat" program at select properties!

What Is The Program?

The National Wildlife Federation has created a network of micro-refuges to ensure that throughout our country, local wildlife can still find food, water, shelter, and places to raise their young even in areas that are developed. Carolina Mornings vacation rentals are part of that effort!
