quick ski trip

The house is absolutely charming and quite spacious. Had everything this family of 6 needed. Love the master on main with additional bedrooms upstairs. The 2 full baths was what sealed the deal for us! and the price and location COULD NOT BE BEAT! We appreciated the supply of games and the multiple porches. We appreciated the labels on the light switches but could have used more! That was our biggest issues, finding the right light switches! So obviously, we didn't have any issues, we just had a lovely time.

Great stay in a comfy cabin!

We stayed with out children who are 11, 4, and 3. The kids loved the cabin and the amenities. We hit the beach or pool almost everyday and enjoyed the doc in the afternoon. Great kitchen with lots of extras needed to cook ( lots of pots and pans etc ) overall had a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend !

Fabulous Weekend at a Comfortable Cabin by a Lake

We were looking for a peaceful, comfy place to stay in the NC mountains, and this place was just that and more. The house was roomy and tastefully decorated and the natural surroundings were lush and beautiful! We had a short set of stairs down to the dock on a lovely small lake with 3 kayaks - one for each of us. There was a great deck in the back off the living room that looked over the lake, and a fire pit in the front yard. The house's location made it easy to drive to Cashiers and Highlands for shopping and restaurants and the kitchen was well enough equipped so that we could cook some meals at home too. Thank you for a great stay! We hope to come back again one of these days. Meredith, Diane, Jean

Wonderful Cottage

Had the most wonderful time! Only 1 tiny snafu at check in (some miscommunication on the code - agency's fault, not the owner's). Once the owner was made aware, it was resolved quickly. (Owner was super nice!) We (me, hubby, 15 yo boy, 12 yo boy, our dog) spent the long weekend kayaking (provided!), fishing (off our own dock!), hiking (waterfalls!), relaxing (2 decks!), making s'mores by the campfire (firepit!) and just having a blast. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Great location, too! We will be back.

Sapphire Stay

Unfortunately, the first impression of this property was that it was somewhat rundown. Cleaning the front porch area would go a long way. When stepping inside, there was a musty smell - not good for asthma/allergy sufferers. The inside was clean and the back verandas were great. I think this could be a great place if a little more effort in cleaning up around the outside was taken.

As described.

We enjoyed our stay and basically lived on the porch. The only problem I had was when the owner did not respond appropriately to our first problem. After we had a second problem , he responded and came by to fix them. It was pretty much as described and we learned to enjoy all the amenities of the house and area.

My husband,2 dogs and myself went for a birthday/anniversary getaway The house was beautiful, clean, well furnished and very comfortable. The beds were excellent,we slept like rocks after hiking and gem mining during the day. The best part was the peace, just sitting on the porch and relaxing.The host was wonderful, always available if we had a question, thank you for sharing this wonderful place! We would definitely recommend staying here again and again!!

Perfect choice for our reunion

I rented this property for a reunion with two old friends and am so glad I did. This simple but comfortable house on a beautiful mountain lake was the perfect choice. The house was clean, the owners very responsive and helpful. We loved the lake which is full of bass, and the location perfectly convenient to Whiteside (both mountain and brewery) and Panthertown Valley. The internet worked great and the deck overlooking the lake was a welcome hangout in the evenings.

A quiet place in the woods

This was our first time renting a property thru VRBO. The property was in a quiet neighborhood and although we saw lights on in several of the other nearby cabins, we didn’t hear any of the neighbors. If you are looking for a quiet place to unwind, this cabin should fit your needs.

Perfect Lakeside Getaway

I went to the cabin in Sapphire recently with a few of my friends from work and we had a wonderful stay. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the TV had HD sports at night, and we spent hours kayaking and fishing on the lake. It is as advertised, a no frills cabin nestled perfectly in the mountains. The fire pit out front is quite a nice touch, particularly as we were there on one of the nicest days of the year so far. I would recommend this cabin to any family or group looking to get out into the woods but not surrender all of the comforts of home.

Lake house Retreat

We had an awesome Birthday celebration at the lake house. We fished off the dock, took the Kayaks out, enjoyed views of the lake while having dinner from Slab Town Pizza and local brews from Whiteside Brewery. Cabin is centrally located, perfect lake house getaway from the hustle and bustle and getting back to nature.
