Home is fully furnished, and beautifully landscaped.

Our cabin has a wilderness setting on 1.5 private acres. Beautiful back yard deck overlooks stream with waterfall. where you can often view wild trout. Open window or screen door and hear the sound of the waterfall throughout the home. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee on the covered deck out front overlooking a second waterfall. An enclosed Gazebo with swing also sits next to the pond.

The home is spacious with high ceilings. It has a large Master bedroom and two other bedrooms. A large living room, dining room and eat in kitchen with table and large island overlooking pond! All bed linens and towels provided. Fully equipped kitchen including dishes and cooking utensils. TV is setup with Roku streaming. A second Roku TV in the Master Bedroom.

The home borders Gorges park which has several streams and waterfalls within walking distance. Upper Whitewater Falls, the e highest waterfall east of the Rockies, is minutes away. The falls plunge an amazing 411 feet!This is an extremely desirable area in North Carolina, close to Cashiers & Highlands. Brevard is a 30-minute drive and Asheville is an hour and 15 minutes away. Area is famous for the many waterfalls in the surrounding regions. Great summer and winter recreation close by, including: hiking, fishing, horseback riding, white water rafting, tubing, etc.

Kick your shoes off and splash around in the crystal clear creek just steps from the living room.

We do not have access to the Sapphire Lodge .

If you see a large black snake, that is "Poopyconder" ( named by one of our grandkids) Please do not kill him. He is a rat snake and helps keep rodents under control. He will not bother you.

Peaceful getaway, close to waterfalls

We really enjoyed our short getaway here. The cabin is spacious with porches on front and back. Boys caught and released a few small trout from the stream, short hike to Bearwallow falls and nextdoor at Gorges State Park, the 1.5 mile hike to Rainbow Falls was well worth it. Loved the place and area, great trip!

Serenity at its Best!

We had a wonderful time here. Terri was very attentive and wanted to be sure we had everything we needed. There are parks and waterfalls within a short drive from the property. To the west is the quaint town of Cashiers and to the east is Brevard, both are perfect to visit, shop, and dine. Ashville is just over an hour drive and is a great place to spend the day. The property itself is a quiet and serene oasis with all the amenities of home. Our daughter had a small intimate wedding here, as well! We've stayed here numerous times over the years and will continue coming back again and again!

Amazing property

I have never stayed in a house that is so well equipped. Everything we could possibly need was provided down to a garlic press. The location is ideal with a stream on one side and a pond and waterfall on the other making it quiet and restful. Both the TV and WiFi worked perfectly. Overall a great stay.

Simple place to get away

A good place to get away. Loved the pond and stream and proximity to national parks. The house has everything you need. It’s a double wide made to look like a cabin with nice decking around it and plenty of seating. Communication with the owner was good. Thanks for the stay.

Cozy and Close

The outdoor property is awesome with a pond in the front and Bearwallow Creek in the back. There's a fire pit in the backyard next to the creek. Our kids loved being outside. The house is located off the road a good ways so you feel like you're really getting away. You can be on several great hikes in just minutes with the house just down the road from Gorges State Park. The location of the property is just about perfect with several parks close by, waterfalls in every direction, plenty of hiking, and a short drive to Cashiers and Highlands. Highly recommend this property to anyone that wants to hike and relax in the woods for a few days. Owner replied quickly to our messages. Can't wait to get back.

This property was amazing and felt like a home away from home. Very private! We enjoyed drinking coffee on the deck overlooking the pond every morning. The stream and waterfalls were relaxing. Easy access in and out of property. Lots of spaces for families to play games and eat. Well stocked for eating in. We would stay here again and again!
Beautiful in fall!

One of a kind beauty!

The property is park like, with a fish pond, waterfall and creek, plants and flowers. Private and relaxing with two decks that overlook the water. Kitchen is large and the place has an extra frig in laundry room. Beds are comfortable. The place could sleep 6 to 7 if one had a big family but it was just the two of us with daytime family. Two large tables could seat 12 if needed. Windows graced most of one side of the house. We have stayed at many VROB places and this was by far one of our favorites! Parks, and waterfalls right down the road and a convience/gas station less than a mile off 64. Restaurants and shopping nearby. Host was so nice and helped with questions. This place is a jewel!

A Peaceful Getaway

We had the best time at this perfectly equipped, peaceful cabin. The location was great, easy to find and felt like a tucked away little paradise. The cabin had everything we could possibly need to cook all our meals and enjoy the whole weekend. Groceries are less than 20 mins away which was nice in case we forgot something. The little corner store down the street had lots of useful items as well. There were hikes nearby, Gorges State park is just a few miles down the road. The pond and creek in the back and front of the house were lovely. We enjoyed coffee on the back porch while the kids ran around collecting pine cones. We will definitely be back!

Piece of Paradise

The pond and creek that flows on property is stunning the land is a place of memory making. Its proximity to everything is perfect it’s centrally located 15 minutes to ingles in cashiers and 25 minutes to Brevard. The entrance of this community had me questioning my decision but please ppl don’t once you go through the gates it’s amazing it’ makes you feel like your on your own oasis This is our second stay and live the fireplace inside and out

Comfy with split plan

We arrived to very super clean and well kept home. We loved everything about it. Usually with a different bed I need a couple of days to get used to, the master bed put me in dream land. We did a lot of cooking and everything was there for us. Description does mention hot tub, but its really a big jacuzzi type in master bath. Young adults enjoyed their bedroooms. Plenty of hot water for all. Loved taking my morning comfy out by pond. Definitely would stay again.

Waterfall wind down

Sitting on the porch and listening to the little waterfalls at this property was priceless! My family truly enjoyed "getting away from it all" here. We took day trips to Brevard, Highlands, and Lake Jocassee, but cherish the quiet evenings we spent making s'mores and listening to the frogs at this property. The home was clean and the beds were comfortable. Utensils and supplies we needed for making meals and snacks were available in the kitchen. We bothered the poor host with questions about Wifi (it's hard to "unplug" sometimes), and they always answered quickly and kindly. We are so thankful to have found such a lovely retreat and hope to come back some day!

Stunning Landscape and Great Amenities!

The drive to this property was a little iffy until you hit the beautiful garden gate then you're immersed into all things green and beautiful. The creek running on the property made for soothing morning with coffee and great nights around the fire. It was hard to leave. Everything you need was here and available, from wine glasses to toilet paper. The owner is very responsive and replies promptly. Very customer service oriented and has gone above and beyond making out trip special. You won't regret booking this beauty.
