  • Beautiful remodeled mountain, lakefront home in Sapphire, NC. Includes amenities to Sapphire Valley Resort and location near 100s of miles of hiking trails. Cahsiers/Sapphire are is home to many beautiful waterfalls and all the great destinations of the western North Carolina mountains.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house in the mountains! The lake view was stunning, and we loved having the kayaks and firepit to enjoy the outdoors. The house was very clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent, and the whole experience was so relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommend!

Cozy getaway

We had a small family get together and had a great time. The home was in a beautiful location on a quiet lake and was perfect for our group. It was clean and well kept, and was close by to lots of outdoor activities as well as restaurants and pubs. We enjoyed the fire pit and kayaks as well. Would definitely stay again

Relaxing and enjoyable family vacation

Our family trip to Sapphire was full of adventure to waterfalls, kayaking, great restaurants, and relaxing at the nearby resort’s indoor pool/ hot tub. The house is on a lake that does not allow loud boats so the kayaking was smooth. One of the bedrooms had a private balcony and my adult daughters appreciated the other bedrooms with a full bath for each person. The owners were very communicative and helped make the vacation perfect!

Gorgeous cabin on the lake!

The pictures don’t do this place justice! This location was gorgeous, and well maintained. Our family of 5 had more space than we knew what to do with. The kids loved going down to the lake, and the view was outstanding. Would come back again if we’re in the area!!

Fantastic 3 weeks away...

We had a fantastic long getaway! The house is exactly as depicted in pictures and well stocked with essentials. The dock is one of the nicest around the lake, and we spent so much time swimming, fishing, and exploring the lake on the kayaks that were provided. Highly recommend!

The perfect mountain lake cabin!

We were fortunate to be able to visit this beautiful property for two weeks. The cabin easily accommodated five adults and two small children. It was clean and updated and had an amazing view of the lake below. All of us caught fish, including the four and six year olds! We hope to visit again in the future!

Wonderful hideaway

We loved Drew’s serene mountain house on the lake. My son caught brim and trout everyday on the creek. We played pickle ball and went kayaking at the resort, and enjoyed the fine dining and shopping in Cashiers. A wonderful house that is clean and cozy.

Scenic and serene cabin on a mountain lake.

Although access is easy, the property is secluded with a great lake view and access. The house is well maintained, clean and comfortable. Fall colors were gorgeous. Kayaking the lake was a bonus. Also close to a great hike on the Whiteside Mountain trail. Great restaurants in the area also. I would come back again.

Amazing and beautiful home with so many wonderful places to hang out. The interior was very well appointed. The colors, the lighting, the dimmer switches, the well-appointed kitchen, and the views from every window made for a beatiful time. Super comfortable furniture and bed. It was just two of us and this just perfect. The photos show it as it us but the experience was so much better. A truly lovely home. We even bought the same chairs they have by the fire pit for our fire area. Amazing!

Perfect place to enjoy fall colors!

We and our friends found the house just perfect for a fall escape! The beds were comfy, the kitchen ideally outfitted, living area comfortable and the view to the river so pretty. During our week-long stay, we played golf, pickle ball, hiked Whiteside and Rainbow Falls, took a boat ride on Lake Toxaway, shopped in Highlands, and ate at great restaurants. Despite all that activity, it was a wonderfully relaxing time!

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The house was nicely decorated and very comfortable but the views were the star of the show. The view of the lake was just beautiful. My husband and friend spent an entire day on the lake canoeing and then relaxing by the fire pit. One word of caution: the house is perched on a hillside so there are many steps getting to the fire pit and the dock. It’s not a problem if you are in fairly good shape. My husband and I are 70 and 71 and had no problem.

Beautiful home

We had great time with our friends at this house. The stairs to dock will give you great workout (we named the house Stair master) but we all got used to it after 2 days. We took advantage of the canoes, fished of the dock and had fires in the fire pit. This house has all you need.

A nice getaway in the mountains

Stayed a week with another couple. Kayaking, waterboarding (brought our own) and eating at several of the fine area restaurants. The evenings and days were cool and comfortable and the house was as advertised. Check in was easy, but it might be a good idea to print directions before you get there. Cell service is pretty sketchy near the cottage.

Second Visit - Great house!

This is our second time booking an extended stay at this house, and it is still one of our favorites! We spent 2 weeks at the house and it was plenty of space for our family of four and another family that spent part of the trip with us. The house is clean, well kept, and has everything we need. The dock is fantastic for fishing and swimming, and we love the access to the kayaks and canoe. The lake is quiet and great for kids to explore since there aren't motorized boats. You can't go wrong with this rental!

AN AMAZING!! peaceful retreat

WOW! WOW! The Lake - the views - the area - the quiet - the peacefulness ! If you are looking for a beautiful well done space in the heart of the mountains tucked in beside a beautiful mountain lake - rent this property! It was everything and more ! So close to Cashiers and Lake Toxaway and things to do right close at hand as well. Drew was perfect with food and activity recommendations but to be honest you won't want to leave the house and decks, dock and porches - so amazing ! book it!

Best time ever!

We had the best quality family time with our two sons.....we spent time just kayaking and fishing for hours and spent time around the fire pit just talking....everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom so there was plenty of privacy. Check in/out was very easy. The house and property looks exactly as it does in the pictures. Everyone is already thinking about the next time we might be able to come back again!! Thank you so much...
