We had a family vacation here in July, and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The house, decks, and view are gorgeous. We were happily surprised to find that our group of 8 adults, 4 teens and 1 preschooler both had plenty of space to be separate and also fit comfortable around the dinner table. The game room was a big hit! We spent a lot time on the deck taking in the natural setting. The owners of the home keep it so well-stocked with amenities that you basically just need to bring your clothes and food! There are businesses such as a grocery store, post office, coffee shop, bistro, etc. within a very short drive. At the end of our stay, everyone agreed we should come back!

We had an amazing time at Black Dog Cabin. The house is not only clean and beautiful but huge - perfect for several couples or families giving everyone enough space and privacy. The owners have everything you could possibly need and are very well organized. It was a relief to not have to pack all of my kids' supplies and toys as everything we needed (except diapers!) was there - highchairs, bed rails, monitors, strollers, even a sand box in the back! I would highly recommend this house to anyone and will surely come back ourselves!

My family, consisting of six adults and two kids, has just enjoyed a fabulous week at Black Dog Cabin. Right from the start, it was a most enjoyable experience: i. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and extremely helpful in organising the rental. ii. The house is everything and more than we expected - it's refreshing to stay in a house that feels like a home and not just another 'rental property'. In particular: a) The layout of the house is perfect. It is ideally suited for use by either one big family or for those needing a separation of accommodation. b) The house has everything you would have in your own home and all you could possibly need to enjoy your stay iii. Access to the Community Clubhouse facilities, e.g. indoor swimming, table tennis, etc. was a nice plus for the rainy days iv. The Sapphire/Cashiers and surrounding areas are just full of wonderful scenic opportunities as well as adventurous things to do. All in all, I could not be more delighted that we chose this geographic area, and Black Dog Cabin in particular, to experience our first visit to North Carolina. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this property. If you go, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Brian Green

After years of looking for "the right place", we finally found it. So many places are loaded with misleading camera angles and glorified descriptions. Not Black Dog Cabin! We had a small "family reunion" (5 adults and 4 kids under 9 years old) during Christmas 2008. We never ran out of things to do even though it rained 3 of the 4 days we were there. From the game room to the kitchen, everything we needed was there! The roads in the area are good. The house is secluded yet close enough to get what you need. There is even a resort that you can access as a guest about four miles away. The resort has ski slopes and a tube run. There is also golf within 3 miles. The owner are some of the nicest and most accomodating people that I have ever dealt with. Look no further... you have found "the right place"! Chuck Lakeland, FL

After years of looking for the "right place" we finally found it at Black Dog Cabin! So many places will fool you with camera angles and overblown descriptions but not here. From the gameroom to the kitchen the owners have thought of everything. We had 5 adults and 4 kids (all of the kids under 8) and never ran out of things to do! Even though it rained for 3 of the 4 days we were there! The house is secluded but close enough to get what you need. The roads are good and there is a resort that you can access as a guest. We all went snow tubing and even my mother went down the run! The owners are some of the nicest and most accommodating people that I have ever dealt with. Do not look any further... You have found the "right place"! Thanks again. Chuck Flagler

Week of July 21 28, 2008. Our family enjoyed your home very much. Could not have asked for a more comfortable and well equipped home for the week. Enjoyed relaxing on the porches and just taking in the scenery. Family trips to local waterfalls and the guys played golf. Also went fishing. An excellent week of rest and relaxation while being treated to the amenities of your home. We will be back next year.

Had a lovely reunion with grandkids and their parents, NJ, SC and CA. The ten of us enjoyed decorating a tree, many meals cooked and eaten together, board games galore, and even a surprise flash snowstorm that interrupted our outdoor marshmallow roasting. What a great place to enjoy the kids and yet have room to retreat and refresh. Everything was first class; we wanted for nothing...and the kid-friendliness extended to age-appropriate books! How great is that!
