Everything was perfect. Pictures did not do it justice. The cabin was spotless and everything we needed was there. Very private. Rarely heard a car or anything else except for birds and the creek. And the crackling of the wood in the outdoor fireplace! The back deck was incredible. Plenty of good restaurants in Sapphire and Cashiers. Truly the most relaxing vacation we have had in a long time. Can’t wait to come back!

What a wonderful retreat. The location was perfect for enjoying the leaves and fall in western NC. And this must be the best house I have ever stayed in from the stocked kitchen for cooking and serving to the special welcoming touches throughout the house. The hosts really outdid themselves. Will return when in WNC!

Perfect Getaway

We had a great time exploring the Cashiers, Sapphire and Highlands area. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood and convient to all of the locations we wanted to explore. It was very comfortable and had every item you could need in a rental house. It was very clean, organized and inviting. The back porch is amazing. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great week at Hogback Creek. David our host was excellent in his description of the house. Left all necessary to check in. House is fully equipped, has everything you might need for an enjoyable stay. House is well taken care of and clean. Car is necessary as the house is in a nice rural community, but remote for shopping and points of interest.

Fabulous Creekside Cottage in Sapphire

Creekside is a lovely home with beautiful decor. It was refreshing to sit on the deck listening to the babbling creek and singing birds high among the beautiful tree tops. The host David is excellent, friendly, communicates in a timely manner and with articulation, We were sad to leave and hope to return there in the near future.

About the host

Hosted by David Bennett

Host profile image
I live in Florida and enjoy traveling and spending time in the mountains enjoying nature and the cooler temperatures in Western North Carolina. The Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area is filled with great hiking and has numerous waterfalls that will take your breath away.

Why they chose this property

I first visited the Sapphire Valley years ago while visiting my parents in Asheville and knew that I wanted a little getaway of my own. I found this house and knew it would be a wonderful place to spend a few week each year relaxing.

What makes this property unique

The Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area is unique in its beauty, peace and so many outdoor activities to enjoy. The great restaurants, art galleries and shopping are the added bonus for those who like to spend a little time indoors.
