Peaceful Retreat w/ Loft in Nantahala National Forest. â›· đź›¶
Our Sapphire Valley home is the perfect place to gear-up for adventure or stay in and relax. Located more than 3,100 feet in elevation, this getaway is in the middle of all the beauty the Blue Ridge Mountains and Nantahala National Forest have to offer!
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by vaulted ceilings and an open living room featuring comfortable furniture and a wood burning fireplace. The main level includes a fully equipped kitchen, recently updated bathroom, stackable washer/dryer, and a master bedroom with access to a private outdoor deck. Head upstairs to the loft and you will find two twin beds, a single foldout futon chair, and an additional bathroom. Spend time on the deck or hangout in our hammock.
Staying with us comes with the option to purchase Sapphire Valley Resort amenities. These amenities are not at the home. They are in a separate, but very close drive-able location. You may join for $2/day (must have a 3 day minimum). Your amenity card will allow access to a private lake, canoe/paddle board rentals, two outdoor swimming pools, an indoor heated pool, two hot tubs, wet sauna, exercise room, arcade, ping pong, outdoor miniature golf, horseshoes, basketball courts, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, playground, track, and picnic tables.
Other area activities to enjoy are golf, skiing in season, zip lining, hiking, exploring waterfalls and mountain vistas, shopping, restaurants and more. Just a quick trip to Cashiers, Brevard, or Highlands, and an hour and a half from Asheville.

We had a very nice stay. Everything was neat and clean. Very quiet!! We had everything that we needed to make our stay enjoyable. This place was decorated nicely. It is close to the skiing resort, restaurants & all the amenities. Our family enjoyed staying here playing games, watching movies, hanging out and making memories.
We booked this unit for a long weekend stay and it was an excellent choice. The owners were great and the property had everything you might possibly need in a home away from home. Pretty sure it had more than you would probably need. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking in the area.
This rental was very nice! The furniture is comfortable as are the beds! Kitchen is well appointed with some extras that we have rarely found in rentals. Nice porch and yard - it was nice to have the grill as well! 100% would rent again!! Owners were very easy to reach and helpful anytime I had a question

Carly, Thanks for staying with us! We’d love to have your family back anytime.
Everything about this home was perfect. From the moment I walked in the amazing birch smell around the house was amazing. The kitchen was well stocked with items to be able to cook. My son loved all the games avaliable and the upstairs loft area. My husband enjoyed relaxing on the lounge chair and working in the desk nook.
The home is close to many unique hiking spots, a beautiful golf course, and highly rated restaurants.
I would highly recommend staying here.
From the first contact with the owners we received so much reassurance and information about our lodgings. On our arrival we were in awe. The attention to detail and innumerable amenities to add to our comfort were overwhelming. It was charming, personal, comfortable and cute. Definitely hated to leave.
This townhouse had everything we needed. It was cozy but provided enough room for our family to have space. It is a short drive (less than 10 minutes door to door) to the ski resort and the amenities. The owners were very easy to work with and communicated everything we needed ahead of time. We enjoyed our relaxing stay and would stay here again.
Great location , cozy house with extra touch brings more to a relaxing stay.
Close by skiing resort, supermarket, restaurants, and many trails in the beautiful mountains nature made a positive impact on the vacation. Owners’ effective communication, and personal touch in a cozy house continued to a relaxing and full of fun family time.
Details, details, details are what the owners thought about when offering their home for rental! The location was perfect to see the Fall colors---close to Gorges State Park, Whiteside Mountain, quaint restaurants and fun breweries, yet nestled off the main roads to enjoy a quiet cup of morning coffee on the patio. The home was decorated so cute and very well appointed---plenty of towels, blankets, utensils, cookware, pantry staples and even wine & chocolates on arrival. Complete contact instructions, helpful hints for the area and emergency information was given. The wi-fi and cell service was excellent. Five stars all around. Thank you!!

Hi, we're the Sullivans. It’s nice to meet you!
Why they chose this property
Early in our marriage, when we lived off plain pasta and scrambled eggs, we met a family who frequently shared their Rocky Mountain cabin with us. As a young couple who often paid for gas in spare change, we loved escaping to the mountains, and we dreamed of one day owning a mountain getaway of our own to share. Fast forward twenty-two years, and you find yourself looking at (or possibly standing in!) the very place we ’ve always wanted.
