  • Spacious home with great view and location

    5/5

    This was a great house for our 2 families of 4. It was nice to have both an upstairs and downstairs living area. The kitchen was well stocked and the furnishings were great as well. We would stay here again!

  • Get house for family vacation!

    5/5

    This house worked out very well for our family vacation. We are a family of ten over three generations and the house was very comfortable for all. The kitchen has all of the accessories needed to cook in, which we did several nights. The porch has great views of the mountains including Chimneytop and Whiteside Mountain off in the distance. The house was very clean and comfortable.

    We learned quickly not leave the doors or windows open in the cars as we had a momma bear go in to grab a couple of candy bars in one of ours. The bears seem to be all over but mind their own business unless you are careless with food or garbage. We saw a big one walk by when we were eating dinner outside at a restaurant within a couple of hundred yards of the stoplight in Cashiers.

    For a small daily fee you are allowed to use the recreational amenities of the Sapphire Community. We had a nice afternoon at Fairfield Lake swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding.

    The property manager was very quick to respond to several questions that we asked him over the week.

  • Amazing views and very comfortable

    5/5

    Incredible Mountain views and escape! Perfect for a family stay away from the busyness of the world and settle into the tranquility of the mountain countryside. We heard lovely birds and saw deer outside grazing below every morning. A few items to be aware- very curvy steep 1 mile drive from 64–be prepared to drive slowly and cautiously— we saw some black bears from the road — they did not appear aggressive but we were careful not to disturb or agitate- the home is beautifully appointed and equipped with everything you need. The owner suite bed is incredibly comfortable! The only drawback for us was not enough towels! I would have brought extra had I known. If you go the resort their towels are small if you want big beach towels -bring them! The resort area is adequate but not fancy (older) the Sapphire National golf course has incredible views but has seen better days in terms of course maintenance- it’s a shame because it is a beautiful place!! We enjoyed nevertheless and it was inexpensive with the resort pass discount. There is plenty to do around the area - hiking and waterfalls; horseback riding; zip lining; golf; tennis (on the resort); shopping and restaurants. Make your reservations at least a week out if you want guaranteed seating. You will enjoy this area !! It’s incredibly breathtaking !!!

    Thank you so much for choosing to stay at our mountain house! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time and enjoyed the incredible views and tranquility of the area. It sounds like you truly embraced the natural beauty surrounding the property, with lovely birds and deer sightings each morning.

    We're glad the home itself met your expectations. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the towels. We will definitely take your feedback into consideration and make sure to provide additional towels for future guests. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

    It's also great to know that you explored the resort area and took advantage of the amenities available.
