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.

This property can not be rented for more than 30 days during the High Season Months (April, May , June , September & October)

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 us keep the rodent problem under control. He will not bother you.

We had a great time at Terri’s place. It was exactly as listed and the perfect little getaway for us. Not a ton to do in the area, but fishing and creek swimming on property was perfect.

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!

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!

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
