Holly

We had an amazing stay here and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation! The home is well very appointed with everything you need during your stay. The beds are very comfortable with great mattresses and pillows. It was the perfect place for our group of seven. The porch is a serene place for enjoying your coffee and cocktails, it's so incredibly quiet you can hear the acorns dropping! This location is convenient for all activities in the area, and my son really enjoyed fishing on the private lake! We will definitely return!

Loved our stay in Sapphire.

The house was great. It came equipped with everything you would need, you can tell the owners spend a lot of time here. Perfect layout for our two families and never felt crowded with 4 adults and 4 kids. Comfortable beds and couches. Pillows were okay, not great. The outside seating areas were very nice. Would definitely stay here again.

Family gathering for a wedding

Blessed to have all 4 of my children join me for my nephew's wedding. Although the wedding activities took up most of our time, it was nice to come back to this beautiful property. Wish we would have had more time to enjoy it.

All was good except issues with TV streaming service on one day of football watching. Not sure of the source of the TV connection problem but it was fine the next day. Hosts were good in quick replying to our questions and difficulties.

From the Owner: "We’re not sure what may have caused the streaming issues with the TV, as we’ve never had a problem before. However, out of an abundance of caution for future stays, we’ve decided to replace that TV to ensure everything works smoothly."

Terrific property. The agent was great but the evolve communication system with verification codes was cumbersome and didn’t work. No dishwasher pods or plastic trash can liners.

Thank you so much for your kind words about our property and for recognizing the on-site agent’s efforts — we truly appreciate it. We’re very sorry to hear that the Evolve communication and verification process was frustrating. Unfortunately, their system is managed separately from us as owners, but we’ll be passing this feedback along so they can continue to improve the guest experience.We also appreciate your note regarding dishwasher pods and trash can liners. These items should have been stocked by the management team before your arrival, and we’ve already addressed this with them to ensure it doesn’t happen again.Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your honest feedback — it really helps us and our management team make future stays even better.

Family Reunion

The house had plenty of space for the 7 of us. The front porch wasn't used much but the back deck was used almost continuously. The kitchen was well stocked and we prepared 3 meals a day on most days during our 6 day stay. The front hall where the stairs to the basement is located is open to the living room with no way to put up a baby gate, so we did have to keep a close watch on our 2 year old. It wasn't clear that the rec center isn't on-site, but about a 10 minute drive away. The rec center was nice but with rain every day we didn't get much chance to use it. The neighborhood is very quiet and we enjoyed our stay very much.

A beautiful home. We arrived to a dirty back porch, and a broken fire pit. Couldn’t use either! Management sent a cleaning crew, and a handyman, but was uneasy to use the fire pit due to broken gas knob. Never found or had instructions to find community center for amenities which description made them sound close! Not! Disappointing! Walk to lake is VERY steep. Would be helpful if owner supplied instructions how to set thermostats, and use TV’s. No cable so need your own sign in for streaming. They have Samsung Plus (free and LOUSY!) TV. Would think they would provide cable. The inside home is lovely, clean, and kitchen well stocked. Could tell family owned with pride. If instructions were provided for pool location,a ‘how to’for amenities, thermostats, TV usage, it would have made our visit easier! GPS sent us past house onto dirt road too!

From the Owner: 'Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While I’m glad you found the inside of the home clean, stocked, and welcoming, I’m very sorry other aspects of your stay fell short.I do want to clarify that our home is professionally managed by Evolve and their local partners, who are responsible for cleaning, preparing, and maintaining the property before each guest’s arrival. We’ll be working with them closely to ensure the porch and fire pit are properly serviced so future guests don’t encounter the same issues.Just before your stay, we had a brand-new TV installed. Unfortunately, the management team didn’t load our Hulu and YouTube TV accounts at setup, which understandably caused frustration. This will be corrected so guests won’t need to bring their own logins unless they prefer.We also appreciate your comments about instructions for the thermostat, TVs, and community amenities. The guest guide should have clear directions and helpful tips."
