Clean & Kid Friendly!

Very clean! Everything was well thought out for a family with 4 kids! The lake area was gorgeous but we spent the day at Devil’s Fork State park, we wanted to show the kids the clear blue water! (It was a good 40 min drive, but it was long enough for the toddlers to take a nap!)

Fantastic stay!

We loved Debra’s place! It was warm and comfortable. Lots of windows with a beautiful view! The bedrooms are huge and the bathrooms each have a jacuzzi tub!!! We used the fireplace for the cool mornings. We loved the lake trail and hiked it each morning to start our day. We hated to leave and would love to return.

Long weekend Spring Break

The home was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. We ended up having a good after finding out how guest passes worked. We’re saddened on Friday couldn’t rent kayak cause they only open Sat-WedThe pictures online looked as if the lake was right outside your door but it wasn’t you had to drive down to the lake.

Awesome!

This Fairfield Lake condo is the best: size and location. We love the area and have many friends there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it to others. The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen fully stocked, living area large and comfortable. You can walk down to the lake from this unit and it is close to many other amenities. We will come again!

Weekend at Sapphire Sky

My family and I loved our stay at Sapphire Sky! We had everything we needed - the rooms are spacious and there are many thoughtful touches such as board games and puzzles for all ages. Outdoor activities, shopping and dining are all close to by. One of our favorite aspects of staying at Sapphire Sky was relaxing by the lake after a morning of fly fishing and hiking. We hope to return soon!

Smooth and impressed

Pretty awesome place to stay, I was taken back by the pictures on the walls and it makes me want to get them for my house. But as far as having a good experience for this house, it was flawless. Great place, good location too for everything that we did this weekend. I would highly recommend this to someone who would be staying in Sapphire

wonderful Thanksgiving stay

The property is exactly as described. The home was equipped with everything we needed for a great stay. The host communication was good and the Alexa with a welcome message was a nice touch. We didn't use the amenities at Sapphire Valley , we were too busy hiking and enjoying the holiday festivities in Cashiers. the lake trail on property was a great place to walk our dog.

Beautiful location

We were celebrating a special occasion and could not have chosen a better location. The cabin was secluded but conveniently located off the main road to Cashiers and Highlands. Not too many steps into the cabin was great for those of us with bad knees (and much appreciated). The cabin was modern, clean and well layed out. A great deck in the trees that offered a perfect spot for morning coffee and a pre dinner cocktail. We loved the jacuzzi tubs in each bathroom, perfect for a soak after a day of hiking or exploring. Great restaurants were just a short drive away. We can't wait to visit this lovely cabin again soon.

Mountain Paradise

We are very familiar with properties in this area. We have stayed in many while remodling our home. This property is top of the line. Bedrooms are spacious and well apointed. Primary has huge TV and a easy on & off gass fireplace. HUGE bathrooms both have jeted tubs and showers etc. Spacious, light filled den with huge TV and another fire place. Location fantastic just 50 ft from hill leading to the Lake where the boathouse and beach are. Theirs a wonderful trail that goes all the way around the lake.

Peaceful and relaxing

The cottage was exactly like the pictures. The place was beautiful and peaceful with a lot to do with a pet. We didn’t go at the right time for fishing, but the lake was stunning with a walking trail around it. Even though it was just me my husband and our little dog it was big enough for a small family.
