I have stayed at many condos in Sapphire over the years. I must say that this condo is the best I have been in. It is upgraded, very clean and convenient to all that the mountains have to offer. I will, definitely stay there again the next time I come back.
This unit was exactly as described and better. So well appointed and comfortable. The first day of our stay rained the entire day but we did not even mind- stayed in and played games, read by the fire- so cozy. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything we need to cook in two of our 3 nights. I'd highly recommend this place and would stay here again.
A beautiful condo and view of Fairfield lake Kim is very responsive. Great info on the townhouse and things to do. Short drive to Cashiers. Wonderful meal at the library in sapphire valley. You won’t. E disappointed Parking in front was easy just a few steps to the Townhouse.
This is probably one of, if not the most beautiful and well kept vrbos we have ever stayed at! From the decor down to the little extras that make your stay all that much easier, Kim had literally thought of everything! Beautiful accommodations! Friendly service! Quality furnishing and appliances. Coffee and hot tea available as well as sugar! Stunning views of the river and mountains! We will highly recommend Kim to anyone staying in the Sapphire area!

We enjoyed our stay at this very comfortable and convenient condo. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and peaceful view. The location was perfect for visits to Rainbow Falls or Whiteside Mountain. There are plenty of nearby restaurants, as well. I would definitely love to return.

We enjoyed our weekend in Sapphire. We liked spending time on the deck, and it was so peaceful and quiet. The kitchen was large and well equipped, and the living/bedroom spaces were comfortable and decorated nicely. We felt at home!

Hi Lori! Thank you for writing your review! It sounds like you really were happy with the unit and I’m so glad to hear that!
We had a great time staying here. The condo was well equipped and located close to everything that we wanted. The bed and linens were very comfortable. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are located downstairs. We will be renting there again.

We have the cleanest and well appointed units! Oh so comfortable furnishings..... and top of the line kitchen utensils and equipment!

I am a native Floridian born and raised in Miami, and now in Jacksonville Beach area, but I escape up to the mountains every chance I get!
I've been bringing my 3 boys (now full grown) up to the area for over 30 years! We just love it up there and have the best vacation memories from the years of visiting. Now, we are fortunate enough to offer this experience to our guests. It honestly makes me so happy to see couples, families and friends enjoying our spaces and making great memories!
Enjoy!
