Gorgeous place and so much to do in, and outside the house!
Celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary with our adult children and son’s dog. This house has it all! We had so much fun bringing back memories playing pac-man and arcade games. The virtual reality video game had us all laughing like crazy! The porch looking out over the creek in the back was very peaceful. We really appreciated the written out directions for the places to hike as wifi when you are driving can be in and out. Made it to several of the recommended hikes and restaurants. Very friendly town and people. We will need to come back to see more!

Don't miss the opportunity to stay here!!
Don't miss the opportunity to stay here if given the chance! I've stayed in many homes through the years and I'd rank this one right at the top. Well stocked, peaceful setting, great amenities! Just a wonderful home with lot's of space and the back decks are so peaceful. Not to mention that the host had great communication throughout. Lord willing we will definitely be back!!

A Fantastic Getaway
This was an absolutely beautiful home. It was exactly as advertised. If anything the photos don't quite do it justice. It was also very well equipped. You could not ask for better hosts than Evans & Elise. Right after checking in we received a message asking if all was satisfactory and letting us know they were ready to take care of anything that we needed. It was a perfect stay.

Great Stay in Sapphire Valley!
We had a fabulous time at the Crystal Creek Arcade House. The house was as described--beds were super comfortable, the backyard creek was a lot of fun for our kids, and the arcade room was a HUGE hit for our young gamer (and his dad). The location of the house was great--we spent the week exploring both the Cashiers/Highlands side and the Toxaway/Brevard side of the greater area so was perfect to be in the middle. The drive to Cashiers felt quick. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect Cashiers/Sapphire Home
We love the Cashiers/Sapphire Valley area because it is close enough to Florida to drive in one day, has great access to amenities for the kids, and is a close enough drive to all the other outdoor and indoor activities in western N.C. This house was one of the best. Easy to get to. Plenty of wildlife like birds, deer, bears, and turkeys. Safe, clean, with access to a creek for the kids. They also enjoyed the arcade room and the ping pong table. Can't say enough good things about the home.

Fun House
The Arcade house is a great house for kids, old and young. Our kids ranged from 6 to 77 and all of us loved the various games in the arcade room! The kitchen area is a nice size and filled with light. We made the top porch our morning and evening gathering space. Although the main bedrooms are upstairs, the couch bed down stairs was fun for the kids to use. We particularly enjoyed the amenities provided with this rental at the near by Sapphire Club where there are pools, boats and all manner of golfing. We recommend this rental to any young family. Sapphire Valley is an outstanding area to visit.
