Everything was perfect. Pictures did not do it justice. The cabin was spotless and everything we needed was there. Very private. Rarely heard a car or anything else except for birds and the creek. And the crackling of the wood in the outdoor fireplace! The back deck was incredible. Plenty of good restaurants in Sapphire and Cashiers. Truly the most relaxing vacation we have had in a long time. Can’t wait to come back!

What a wonderful retreat. The location was perfect for enjoying the leaves and fall in western NC. And this must be the best house I have ever stayed in from the stocked kitchen for cooking and serving to the special welcoming touches throughout the house. The hosts really outdid themselves. Will return when in WNC!

When you walk in the door, this house hugs you and says “welcome home!” So inviting and comfortable. Well appointed, nice kitchen, pet friendly, and sits by a babbling mountain brook. What more could you ask?!

We loved sitting on the covered deck and listening to the creek. The single level floor plan was also great. Everything was super clean and perfect for us.
