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!

Perfect Getaway

We had a great time exploring the Cashiers, Sapphire and Highlands area. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood and convient to all of the locations we wanted to explore. It was very comfortable and had every item you could need in a rental house. It was very clean, organized and inviting. The back porch is amazing. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great week at Hogback Creek. David our host was excellent in his description of the house. Left all necessary to check in. House is fully equipped, has everything you might need for an enjoyable stay. House is well taken care of and clean. Car is necessary as the house is in a nice rural community, but remote for shopping and points of interest.

Fabulous Creekside Cottage in Sapphire

Creekside is a lovely home with beautiful decor. It was refreshing to sit on the deck listening to the babbling creek and singing birds high among the beautiful tree tops. The host David is excellent, friendly, communicates in a timely manner and with articulation, We were sad to leave and hope to return there in the near future.

One of the best cabins we have ever stayed in! David, the host, was wonderful and his communication was remarkable. He often provided a response within minutes when hours or even the next day would have been fine with us. (Wish we could have given 6 stars for communication with the host but only 5 were permitted). The cabin was clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the features we wanted. The neighborhood was great, with a picturesque drive from the main road to the cabin that will be a lasting memory. The covered back porch and fireplace were perfect for our fall visit, and we can imagine that would be a great spot in spring and summer too, maybe even winter for the non-Florida folks. Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area was just what we were looking for and this cabin will be a repeat visit for sure, hopefully many times.

About the host

Hosted by David Bennett

Host profile image
I live in Florida and enjoy traveling and spending time in the mountains enjoying nature and the cooler temperatures in Western North Carolina. The Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area is filled with great hiking and has numerous waterfalls that will take your breath away.

Why they chose this property

I first visited the Sapphire Valley years ago while visiting my parents in Asheville and knew that I wanted a little getaway of my own. I found this house and knew it would be a wonderful place to spend a few week each year relaxing.

What makes this property unique

The Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area is unique in its beauty, peace and so many outdoor activities to enjoy. The great restaurants, art galleries and shopping are the added bonus for those who like to spend a little time indoors.
