About this property
Wooded Sapphire Valley location/ Screened porch, Grilling deck, Firepit close in
This home is set in the beautiful wooded area of Holly Forest I in Sapphire Valley. It is a great location for golfing, hiking, fishing, and everything outdoors, shopping, restaurants and just enjoying the mountains of western North Carolina. Cashiers and Highlands N.C. are close by for shopping, art fairs, outdoor concerts, and restaurant dining.
Upon returning from an active day, you can sit on the screened porch and enjoy a cocktail while grilling on the outside deck. During cool evenings, an outdoor fire in the fire pit is perfect for making s’mores. In the colder months, make a fire inside and cook in the fully equipped kitchen. Watch sports or movies on any of the three TVs. And finally, fall into bed in either the downstairs master or one of the two upstairs bedrooms. In the summer you can listen to the sounds of cicadas and crickets as you are lulled to sleep, ready for the next day of fun!
Along with this rental, you can purchase an adult guest pass for $6 for 3 days which gives access to all the amenities of the Wyndham Resort at Fairfield Sapphire Valley. Enjoy reduced fees at the Sapphire National Golf Course. There are also tennis courts, two heated pools and hot tubs, a sauna, exercise room, an outdoor pool, a nine hole golf course, putt- putt and more. There are paddle boat and canoe rentals at Fairfield Lake and pontoon rentals at nearby Lake Glenville. In the winter there is a small ski slope and tubing area available. Additional days are offered for $2 a day and children are free.

Lovely cabin tucked in the woods. Convenient to everything. Would stay here again.
Only negative was having to drop off the garbage. There should be garbage pickup
The property was exactly as described. It was lovely, away from the main road, and surrounded by woods. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we had no problems cooking our meals here. We enjoyed the screened in porch, and spent a lot of time relaxing and reading on it. We took advantage of the amenity cards and went swimming and boating on the lake at Sapphire Valley Resort. We hope to return next summer.

Perfect for our family stay
This was an ideal property for a 4-night 3-generation stay in the lovely Sapphire Valley area. The house was very clean, modern and well-equipped. Our 2 year old granddaughter was in 7th heaven on the screened porch, and for some reason was totally fascinated by the small metal goats in the backyard! We mostly ate our meals in, so the kitchen and dining area were perfect. So many extra special touches - spices, nice plush towels, maps and guidebooks, cleaning supplies, etc. Loved having the gas grill to cook hamburgers, and also the fire pit (with wood and kindling). If I could mention 2 very, very small suggestions: a second chair on the front porch would be nice, and there was not a toaster (everything else we possibly wanted though). Broiled our bagels instead. We would definitely come back here!
This is a great home with great location. We had some problems with the outside lighting but ended up figuring that all out. We enjoyed the home very much. The street is lovely but has more traffic with cars/trucks and some construction vehicles than we were expecting. Loved our stay and this beautiful home.
The property was easily accessible, very clean and comfortable. Also convenient for day trips to see the beautiful mountains. We will be back.

Quick getaway
The property was as described. Disappointments were the very strong musty/mildew odor throughout the house, especially upstairs, (maybe due to carpeting?). Odor first night with air on was extremely strong! The downstairs bedroom fan made a bad noise, and queen room upstairs fan hummed. The fact that we had to drive OUT of our way to find the recycle center to drop off our garbage when we left was upsetting, especially given the price of the rental! Seems the cleaning crew could take it or a garbage service could be hired! So beware that is asked of you to do. Otherwise, do want to say the beds were super comfortable, very clean, updated. Enjoyed the back porch, well stocked kitchen, nice TVs every room. Everything else good, but if your an allergic person to mildew smells, wouldn’t work for you.
My family and I just spent a week in the cabin and it couldn’t have been better. The rooms are spacious, kitchen is fully equipped, decor is super cute. We enjoyed drinking coffee on the beautiful patio and listening to the birds every morning as well as having drinks and s’mores by the fire pit at night. The location is very convenient to lots of activities, shops, and restaurants.
We had an amazing time in Sapphire. The house was perfect. It was clean and well equipped. We didn’t need anything. It made for a relaxing and lovely vacation. We hiked, played games, rested, and generally had a delightful visit.
Easy access off the main road. Beautiful cozy cabin in the woods. Very well equipped. All the comforts of home. Close to shopping, whitewater rafting, and waterfalls. We'll definitely be back
Floridians looking for cooler golf and found it at Sapphire Valley. Other public courses within an hour's drive. Rental property was only 2 miles from Sapphire National and a great place to stay. We'll be back.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything was so clean and prepared at the house. There is a firepit outside in the wood - it was so relaxing having a fire outside at night! It's a little bit drive to town but it was expected. Our family enjoyed the time together! Thank you for letting us stayed at your beautiful home!
Beautiful home. Beautifully decorated and especially clean. It was nice to have plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, and dish soap for the entire stay. The one slight inconvenience (no fault of owner) was there isn't a trash pick up, so you need to take your trash to the dump at the end of your stay. The owner leaves a list of several options but all are at least 15 min away.
Lovely home just a short drive from beautiful Gorges State Park. We were there in February and enjoyed the wood fireplace (and wood pile). Quiet neighborhood but we had an easy drive to the grocery store. Loved the soaking tub.
Property was very clean, well-stocked, centrally located for the waterfall hiking that we wanted to get in and very relaxing with screened back porch and fire pit.
We enjoyed our stay. We were able to sit back and enjoy the house and the quiet and peaceful location regardless of the changing weather. My brothers said they could see coming back and doing it again!
I have rented numerous homes in the Cashiers area. This house is clean, comfortable and well stocked. We were lucky that our frenchie was allowed to vacation with us.
The cabin is laid out well with upstairs and downstairs bedrooms. Very comfortable beds and good quality linens and towels. The back porch looking over the forest and well lit firepit is also nice. So appreciated the ability to bring our pups with us. Just a few minutes to Cashiers.
We had a great stay at this cabin. We loved the fire-pit out back. The cabin had everything we needed. The community center was a big plus with the kids. It is close to the supermarket. Internet connection was great.
