About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This mountain cabin is the perfect place for your great outdoors experience, for a romantic getaway, or for a much deserved respite! You will find that this house has everything that you will need: a fully equipped kitchen, two dining areas, a fireplace, screened porch, large outside deck with propane fire pit, all nestled on approx. one acre on a secluded cul-de-sac.

When you are enjoying your time on one of the great decks (there are 3 in all and the screened porch) you will be listening to the waterfall located at the bottom of the property. It is a steep descent to view the waterfall-but worth the experience.

The parking area is right outside the front door.

Guests can enjoy fishing located one block away on Hogback Lake. For guests who desire an active stay, our Wyndham Resort at Fairfield Sapphire Valley amenities* offer: golf, tennis, mountaineer putt-putt golf, two heated pools, outdoor pool, hot tubs, sauna, game room, fitness room, jogging track, ski/tubing area (winter months), and we have a canoe for your pleasure on scenic Fairfield Lake. Pontoon rentals are close by on beautiful Lake Glenville during the summer months.

Most Summer/Fall guests agree that the "Best Room in the House" is actually the screened in back porch. The comfortable sofa and chairs invite you to sit and enjoy a beautiful view of Hogback Mountain!

My family spent 4 nights at this cabin. It is located in a gorgeous, wooded community. The cabin is beautiful, comfortable, and is stocked with everything you could possibly need. We loved the deck spacing, furniture, wood burning stove, property grounds, and the privacy. The host communicated with many recommendations and there were information binders to answer any questions. We loved it! Highly Recommended. Thank you to the property owners for making the cabin available.

Hogback Heaven Cabin

My husband and I along with our 10 year old Sheltie stayed at this cabin Thursday November 14 to Monday November 18. What a wonderful cabin and perfect location. The cabin is well stocked and has everything one would need. The cabin is comfy and very cozy. We enjoyed sitting in the screened porch every afternoon and had a fire in fireplace every evening. The master bedroom bed is very comfortable. We loved our stay and will return.

escape

The house was absolutely wonderful. Everything needed was at the house. Loved the screened porch. House is spotless. Only negative was lack of a/c unit in downstairs bedroom. There was an a/c unit in living room but downstairs bedroom door had to be left open to have air access and it barely cooled bedroom off.

This was a great place to escape the heat and humidity of FL! We enjoyed our time and the house had a ton of charm and comfort. The frig and kitchen appliances were all clean and in great shape. The washer and dryer worked very efficiently! The screened in porch was relaxing. We look forward to returning again in the future. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Best Mountain Weekend Stay

We loved our weekend stay when we dropped our girls off at camp. It was so peaceful, clean, and beautiful! Our favorite spot to sit and relax was the screened in porch. Our dog was welcome and loved relaxing at the house and taking walks around the neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again!

Excellent vacation rental

This cabin was lovely with great furnishings and comfortable beds. The decor both indoors and outside are adorable. The home has an extensive amount of supplies and amenities to utilize during the stay. The views are beautiful here and surrounding area is peacefully calm. The location is ideal with numerous activities to enjoy close by. The pool, gym, dog park and golf course were all great perks that we enjoyed for a small daily pass fee. The owner is very good with communication and our experience was excellent from start to finish. Within a few minutes of the rental is a darling Cashiers mountain community, which is a perfect getaway location to enjoy the cooler weather, nice shopping and wonderful restaurants. This rental is a gem for sure and we hope to return again.

Perfect mountain getaway

We’ve stayed at many different Vrbo properties over the years and this is one has to be one of our all time favorites. We loved the location and took advantage of the resort amenities access. This house, as other reviews have commented, is just so homey and comfortable, and has just about everything one would need, including lots of condiments in the kitchen and Keurig pods. We would love to stay here again for sure, when we come back to the area. We found the beds to be very comfy as well which is always something I look for in reviews, so wanted to give that a mention.

A perfect cozy retreat

This was an absolutely wonderful stay. As soon as we arrived, we were charmed by the cabin and welcomed in to a lovely fragrance of apples. Everything was very clean, and the cabin is exceptionally well equipped. If you forgot something check the drawers or cabinets. I loved how the owners had advised that we could use anything in the cabin. We really enjoyed the use of the fireplace and there was plenty of wood. The cabin is situated on a really pretty property that I bet would be lovely in the summer. They even have a canoe you can use. There are games books and condiments in the fridge and little details that are just so lovely like hot cocoa and marshmallows. Even the dates on the condiments were well within their use by date (I check!) and there were frosted glasses in the fridge. The location is very close to the sapphire valley ski resort which is a great place for families. I would also say that the instructions for check out were really easy and no one rushed us out (that has happened to me at other cabins). I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone - families or couples or friends. Thank you to our generous and thoughtful hosts!

80th birthday

We arrived to find the residence immaculate and a very convenient location for side trips and dinning. Everything we needed was available. The only problem we encountered as my being 80+ was negotiating the stairs from the parking area to the front porch. OK for younger folks, but not ideal for older individuals. An improvement might be filling the gravel in with concrete.

Wonderful Respite

Our experience was wonderful at Hogback Heaven. The cabin was very clean and comfortable and offered all we needed from kitchen supplies to the incredible peace and quiet. We loved it. We had never visited this particular area ( Sapphire Valley Resort) and Gwenn made sure that we were able to obtain Amenity Cards. These are the best deal around! We enjoyed the lakes and exploring the Resort. Lots to do and enjoy and access all around you. This makes this area a wonderful choice for a multi-generational family trip I think. We are all ready planning one of those for Summer 2024! The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Surprisingly so. Maybe a few regular sized drinking glasses would be nice but that is the sum total of any improvements I could suggest. The screen porch was where we lived. Comfortable! AND THE VIEW IS AMAZING!! You have a big awesome view of Hogback Mountain from the porch and the dining space. We were struck by the quiet of the area too. Although there is a next door neighbor, the incredible quiet of the area was a delightful surprise and much enjoyed. Glenn and Glen, thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. We will be back! Thank you!

This home truly felt like a home away from home. Well-stocked kitchen, cozy decor, and the screened in porch was like being in a treehouse looking down into an enchanted forest!
