We had a wonderful stay in North Carolina at Fern Hollow Cottage over Thanksgiving! We love Sapphire and the surrounding areas. There is so much to do and see for our family. The cottage was a fantastic place to stay and is wonderfully accommodating. Being a short-term rental owner myself, I have become fairly critical of places that we stay with our family. Fern Hollow Cottage was the nicest, cleanest, and most well-equipped property we have stayed at in recent years. It checked all of our wants and needs when searching for a mountain house and we would gladly return in the future!

The home was perfect for our family, giving lots of space for a family of 6 plus a baby. We particularly enjoyed the outside upper screened patios. The kitchen was easy to get around and was well equipped. Bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. We had a great week and would definitely book this property again!
