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.

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.

Creekside Cottage

We loved Creekside Cottage. The location is beautiful and the cottage is comfortable and well appointed, with all the comforts of home. Everything is easy and well communicated. Much better than staying in a hotel! The steep driveway was a surprise, but not unexpected in the area.

So relaxing!

We loved staying at David’s cottage! It’s the cutest cottage. Beautifully decorated. The master bed was so comfortable! We loved the master bath as well. We spent most of our time on the huge porch listening to the creek below. We cooked a lot and the kitchen had everything we needed. We were able to bring our black lab Sadie with us too and she loved hiking the area! We can’t wait to be back to creeksde cottage!

Escape from Florida's Heat

This property was secluded, the VRBO description was spot on. The sound of the creek was so relaxing. Sitting on the covered deck, listening to the creek was so very relaxing. Would return with no hesitation.

About the host

Hosted by David Bennett

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.
