100 Consecutive 5-STAR reviews. I am a native to North Carolina. I love Fly Fishing in Sapphire Valley. I enjoy hiking the National Forests nearby Sapphire. I enjoy playing Golf at local golf courses. I enjoy the air quality of Western NC Mountains. I am married to Delia Shinn, and we have three children. I am passionate about CASHIERS LOG CABIN. I make every effort to provide our guests an ULTRA CLEAN CABIN. I enjoy reading reviews from our guests. I am an expert Fly Fisherman and have been featured in NC Sportsman Magazine several times.
I built this CABIN to honor my mom. Mom purchased the 4 1/2 ACRE LOT 24 years ago as a retirement dream. Mom was passionate about the amazing views. I am extremely honored to construct the CABIN she always dreamed of. I welcome our CABIN guests to come and enjoy OUR FAMILY TREASURE !!!
CASHIERS LOG CABIN is not listed with any commercial real estate agency. I manage and meticulously maintain this property MYSELF. My Mom is a CPA and is my Business Manager.
Why they chose this property
My mom previewed many miles of mountain properties. In October 2002, Dave Bauer, developer of The Divide at Bald Rock, took her on a tour of the community after a fall rain when the waterfall was running hard. The development was in its infant stages and she acquired what Dave said was "his most private and prestigious lot." This lot has amazing views of the Divide Valley below. Once she saw the community, the amazing views from the lot and all of the Sapphire Valley Master Association amenities, she knew this lot was the ONE! Mom held the vacant land for 11 years. Mom and I combined resources to build this amazing cabin. The cabin was completed in July of 2016. It truly is an amazing property. I was so happy to help Mom to build her dream! In November 2019, I became sole owner of the property.
Sapphire Valley Resort amenities are included. NOMINAL FEE $5 PER PERSON PER DAY OVER AGE 14, MINIMUM 3 DAYS
What makes this property unique
100 consecutive 5-STAR reviews !! GATED LUXURY COMMUNITY !! The privacy on 4.2 acres and the MAGNIFICENT views are desirable features. We get numerous rave comments on the views from our guests. This is the ultimate "get away from it all" cabin. The cabin offers complete privacy on 4.2 acres, but you are still very close to all amenities and downtown Cashiers.
The property is not listed with any commercial real estate agency. I manage and meticulously maintain the cabin MYSELF. My Mom is a CPA and is my Business Manager.
In December 2023, I installed 2 NuShield Self Cleaning Air Ionization systems on both of my HVAC systems (dual systems for upstairs and downstairs). This is an uncommon feature of a rental property.
The cabin features SONY 4K ultra High Definition televisions. 75" smart 4k in the theater room. 55" smart 4k in the living room with full swivel wall mount. 50" smart 4k in the master bedroom and (2) 40" smart tv's in each of the upstairs bedrooms. BROADBAND internet with WiFi throughout the property. Playstation 4 and Xbox one for the kids (big and small). YouTube-TV package with premium channels and NFL Sunday Ticket in season.
The cabin has over 2000 square feet of covered porches(1,000 sq ft upper level and 1,000 sq ft lower level). The porches (upper and lower levels) offer amazing panoramic views of the Divide valley below. You can also hear the nearby waterfall when it is running and view the waterfall from the back decks. The cabin comes equipped with natural gas for the stove and master bedroom stone fireplace. The cabin is nestled in 4.2 wooded acres of seclusion and privacy. The summer temps rarely reach into the 80's, the fall views are spectacular, the winter low foliage views seem infinite and the springtime air is so refreshing.
