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!

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.
