We felt like we were perched in a treehouse for a few days! The house was immaculate and comfortable. The host, Jason, was a quick communicator and very helpful. We would love to come back!
Very comfortable home. Enjoyed the views and listening to the river below. Appreciated the host communication. Easy to get to the town of Cashiers as well as Lake Gorge Park.
My husband and I very much enjoyed our week-long stay at this lovely property with a beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains. The bed was very comfortable, as was all furniture. The bathroom and kitchen were perfectly outfitted with everything we needed, and it was exceptionally clean. We will highly recommend this house To anyone looking for a cool and comfortable stay in the NC mountains!
House was perfect. Well stocked and very comfortable. Great neighborhood and close to resort amenities and restaurants. Host Jason Gillespie was the best Host communicator I have ever delt with. This was truly one of the best of the best. Thanks, Jason, for a great visit.

Beautiful
This is the third time we have stayed in this lovely home. Great views, comfortable bed, very clean, everything you could possibly need is there.
As previously noted, the view from the deck gives this house marks above other houses we've stayed at in the area. We always had a pleasant breeze and lots of wildlife to view including a bear just passing through. The accommodations were exactly as described and very comfortable. The host did a fantastic job of communicating with us prior to and during our stay. Besides adding some comfortable reclining chairs on the back deck, our group gives this property a 10/10. Hope to be back again!
We’ve stayed at several different properties in the area and this one is by far superior. This is definitely the only place we will book for future trips. The home is conveniently located, well maintained and very clean. The back deck and view are the best feature. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway.
We had a fabulous time at Jason’s house in Sapphire Valley. Some of us played golf and walked the dogs at the dog park. The view was amazing and we loved sitting on the deck to watch the sunset. We had no problem getting amenity cards. Communication was easy and Jason was available for questions at a minute notice.
The house was clean and well appointed. We would definitely come back.
Really enjoyed our week at Jasons’s property. The views and sunsets are absolutely amazing. Having a king bed in each of the main bedrooms then a kids room with bunk beds was perfect for our 2 families of 4. Will definitely be back!
Great find in Sapphire Valley! Jason was a great host and answered all of our questions. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. The home was very clean. It was close to the Sapphire Valley Resort where we we enjoyed tubing. We also enjoyed some great hikes too.
Well located for the Sapphire / Cashiers area, convenient to everything. Very comfortable. Nice view from the deck. Property is well stocked, especially the kitchen for food prep and food storage. Enjoyed the stay!
Excellent home with beautiful Mountain View’s. Clean and well equipped. Secluded but easy access to town and resort facilities.
Great communication with owner. We will rent again.
Loved the views. Nicely appointed and very comfortable. Well equipped kitchen. Couldn’t have asked for more. Property host very helpful and responsive. We would stay here again.
It was a wonderful home.....very comfortable. Beautiful view off the back deck just like pictures. Beautiful area if you enjoy mountain setting. Host was excellent to communicate with.
Driveway is short and steep like he mentions in description. There isn't much of a front or side yard so to speak for dogs or kids.
Setting is beautiful in a wonderful neighborhood.
This year was very special (my birthday and our 70th wedding anniversary). We have stayed in several places in the Sapphire area, but the view there was the most spectacular of all our stays there. I cannot imagine that view during the fall season. The unit is very comfortable in size and furnishings. The entrance would have been a bit of a challenge for me (my 88th birthday) but we had our kids there that took care of all the driving.

About the host
Hosted by Jason Gillespie
Jason & Sharon have been coming to the NC mountains for years but purchased the Whitewater Whispers house in 2021. They have enjoyed spending more time in Sapphire and getting to know the area and using the amenities!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this house when we walked through the door and saw the vast mountain views of the Horsepasture River Valley, and then walked out to the back deck and heard the shoals of the river from the deck. Combine that with the pools, skiing, golf, and mini golf at Sapphire Valley Resort, this has been a perfect mountain retreat for our family. We hope that it is for yours!
