We had the best family vacation in Sapphire Valley. The house was amazing for our group ranging from age 2 to 70! We had thunderstorms most afternoons so the game room, garage and screened in porch were a huge hit! One of the friendliest and most responsive host I've worked with. It was a wonderful family vacation!

Thank you. It warms our hearts that families can come together in settings like this.
Immaculate, beautiful home located in great location. Gated community, walking distance to park, horseback riding, and less than 5 minute drive to grocery store and other shops. Well stocked kitchen, with everything you’d need. We enjoyed the screened patio & the fire pit when winding down at the end of the evenings. It was everything we expected and more! The hosts were hospitable, provided tips for us to maximize our stay, and we’re extremely responsive.

Thank you. Keep us in mind when the mountains and seasons call for you.
What an amazing property! The house is beautiful with wonderful amenities. We had a lovely time in the play room on rainy afternoons, playing pool and ping pong, and enjoying the other games. The porches are absolutely lovely- we sat out at night watching the fireflies, and listening to country sounds. The location is excellent; you are two miles or so to a great grocery store, and 30 minutes to Highlands with all their great shops and restaurants. The house is well stocked and has an amazing kitchen, and lovely bedrooms. The owners are easy to work with and best of all, nice people. We all hated to leave, and can’t wait to go back. A beautiful part of North Carolina, we highly recommend !

Thank you so much for the kind words. You will love the winter resort too.
Our extended family spent 2 wonderful weeks in this amazing home. From the first inquiry through out the stay the owners were easy to work with and accommodating. Everything about this home is GREAT! The location is perfect in a gated country club neighborhood with access to amenities (golf, tennis, puttputt, lake, water activities). The home is large and spotless. The kitchen is a dream and so well equipped. Game room could keep all ages entertained . The beds were so comfortable. Lots of special indoor and outdoor spaces to be alone or together. We thank the owners for sharing their amazing home.

It makes our day to know you have enjoyed this home as we do. Thank you. Floyd and Lory
Our family spent 4 weeks in this beautiful home/property which had ‘everything’ in spades…a thoughtful layout inside & out, perfect location, abundant amenities & lovely, informative hosts! The house is very close to a LOT of activities & good restaurants - super convenient. However, our favorite place was the front porch where we rocked, read, dined & played games while enjoying the beautiful landscaping and native trees. Such a comfortable home for all of us (we were aged 6 to 66). Floyd & Lori, thank you so much for sharing your home & providing local info that made our family’s summer the best ever. Truly, a blessing!

Thank you for the nice words. You have been great to work with. Appreciate your attention to our home.
From the photos in the listing, one can see this is truly a “luxury listing.” This home is new, spacious, well appointed and very comfortable for an extended family. Everything in the home is first class. We planned for nine people, and the house can easily accommodate that size group. Each bedroom has a private bath in addition to a full bath off the game room and a half bath on the first level. We particularly enjoyed gathering our whole group in front of the fireplace to watch football games. We also could have gathered around the gas fireplace table on the screened porch or the wood fire pit in the back yard. The game room is amazing. It has a pool table, ping pong, shuffleboard, card table, two flat screen TVs, fridge and microwave ( you could spend your whole vacation in there). This home has location, location, location. It is located in the Sapphire Valley Resort. Our kids loved the community center with the gym, miniature golf and lots of activities.
The house is easily accessible from the main road and does not require a long winding drive up a mountain. The center of Cashiers, with a grocery store, coffee shop, farmers’ market, wine cellar and boutique shopping is about a ten minute drive away. The owners, Floyd and Lory, are very gracious and easy to work with. They have done a wonderful job designing, building and furnishing their home. We felt privileged to be welcome to stay there.

It certainly is rewarding when a family finds the same magic In this home and location as our family enjoys. We certainly appreciate the positive review.
The home is very spacious and well designed. We were a group of 14 family members staying over Christmas and we had a great time. We had more than enough space to be together when we wanted to, yet have plenty of privacy when we needed downtime. Mr Harper (Floyd) and his wife are phenomenal hosts and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay, answered any questions that came up and made sure we felt at home at all times. We will definitely be back.

Great feedback. You were valued guests and hopefully will return.
We had the best time! This house is amazing - full of great supplies, lots of space, and the most amazing game room. Our family barely wanted to leave! The neighborhood has tons to do and cool places to explore, and the house is situated super close to cashiers / highlands and loads of hiking and waterfalls. Floyd was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions! Wonderful vacation!
We’ve stayed at numerous rentals in the Cashiers/Sapphire area and have had really good experiences, but this is hands down THE BEST place!!!
Floyd & Lory are wonderful, caring host and their house is everything they say it is and more. If you have a large group or just want to be near the amenities of Sapphire Valley this is the place.

Thank you Michael. We have been so busy with our gang have not had a chance to thank you for the lovely card and champagne. However, Lory will be in touch with Stephanie soon.
We just enjoyed a great week on this beautiful property (party of 12 with 6 kids ranging in age from 7-12).
The house was perfect as it offered something for everyone and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The entire house is very clean and well kept. The kitchen was spacious and the game room offered hours of entertainment for both the kids and adults.
The location is perfect as we were able to spend time skiing and hiking during the day. The kids enjoyed the yard and some of the amenities on site. There are some great restaurants near by like Table 64 and the Library.
Floyd was very helpful and welcoming from the start. We would definitely recommend and will likely be back.
