Sleeps 2 to 6 people very comfortably. Great for single person, couple (s) and kids. Large front porch with outdoor dining/seating, along with a picnic table on the lawn. HUGE 1-acre fenced yard for large & small dogs! They will enjoy their best vacation EVER! Outside has a charcoal grill and wood burning fire pit.

1 BR loft cabin with 1.5 bath, open floor plan on main level with LR, full kitchen & full bath. 2nd floor master bedroom loft with 1/2 bath and king bed. Sleeping for 2 downstairs on chaise lounger.
DirecTV satellite TV, Wi-Fi, Amazon, and Netflix. Wood burning stove, gas heat, electric heat & A/C units. Kitchen with fridge, stove, oven, microwave, small appliances, dishware, glasses, cookware & all basic utensils. W&D, full modern bath w/large walk-in shower.

Guest yurt (350 SF of a trendy, modern, insulated, circular wood-framed structure with canvas and lattice walls/ceilings; on a wood foundation) is only 100 feet away from main cabin.
The yurt has full kitchenette with fridge, stove, sink, & small appliances. Ductless HVAC system, queen bed, reclining love seat, and single cot, chair/ottoman, TV w/ built-in DVD Player/DirecTV & Wi-Fi. 1/2 bath, wood floor, surrounding windows and operable skylight.

The best amenity of this property is the 4 acre, private, 4000 foot elevation with level lawn areas (bocce ball court & corn-hole) and fenced in yard!
Just relax and enjoy the great panoramic views of Sapphire Valley and the amazing granite rock faces of the mountains. Located only 5 minutes from Panthertown Valley, aka "the Yosemite of the East." (6700 acre paradise for mountain biking, backpacking, trout fishing, clear swimming holes with beaches & hiking).
More than 20 of the finest waterfalls are within a 30 minute drive. Lake Glenville (highest elevation lake east of Mississippi) has pontoon and kayaks rentals in warm weather. Whiteside Mountain has an excellent, cliff-top view, hiking loop with 700' high cliff walls. Whitewater Falls is the highest waterfall east of the Rockies that plunges a staggering 411 feet, and Gorges State Park, aka "Gorgeous" due to its unique waterfalls, rugged river gorges, sheer rock cliffs, and awesome plant life, are both within 20 minutes of the property.

When you rent our place, with a rare, gem of a view, you get the entire property to yourselves! Sit on the adirondack chairs and enjoy a cocktail with a million dollar view, or roast some smores and enjoy the best stargazing ever!

Love Rover's Retreat!!!

This is such a peaceful place to visit with dogs. The view is amazing, the house and yurt are small but perfectly laid out and equipped. Our dogs LOVED the yard. We loved the location and easy access to hiking, restaurants, a couple of cute towns, and mountain lakes. We absolutely plan to return next summer!

Great Getaway

We had such a great time staying at the Rovers Retreat! It's exactly what anyone can want in a place to stay in the mountains. The views from the front yard are amazing and a great backdrop to do some reading or enjoy a spot by the fire. Kim and Brad are great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend!

Rejuvenating

This was one of the most relaxing vacations my family has ever taken. We had plans to go see the sites, but this cabin was soooo peaceful that we just picked up food at the local markets and enjoyed bonding all weekend with the beautiful view. Great way to just relax!

Great Place to Getaway

Really great place to get away for a few days. We have a family of 6 and had plenty of room for everyone. Very nice, simple accommodations, with an outstanding view. Hiking trails literally 5 min from the house, on the same road. Owners were very nice, easy to deal with. We would definitely love to come back.

Wonderful, private stay in the mountains!

I cannot recommend Rovers Retreat enough!! The cabin was perfect, very cute, with very comfortable amenities and everything that we needed for our stay. The property is absolutely beautiful with an incredible view right out the front door. We loved sitting at the picnic table, in the Adirondack chairs, and around the fire pit. My kids loved the hammock and swing, too. There are so many great places to hike and explore nearby - definitely recommend Rainbow Falls. The owner was just wonderful, very communicative, kind, and helpful! Our dogs had the best time ever and we're so happy to come along! The fenced in property gave them plenty of room to roam. You won't regret staying here!

A weekend away at Rover's Retreat

We had a great stay at the place. Great location for exploring Cashiers and Sapphire. Communication with the owner was easy and always helpful. Really nice to have the fenced in space for dogs. The view from the property was amazing in the morning and evening. The cabin was nicely equipped and very warm and welcoming. We'd definitely stay here again!!
