Wilstone Lodge is truly a gem—offering a peaceful setting with some of the most spectacular views!The location is perfect for lots of outdoor activities, hiking adventures or simply spending the day at the house relaxing, playing a game, and then taking in the spectacular sunset from the deck. The house was clean, cozy and equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay.Jamie is an excellent host and really has put so much thought into making your time at Wilstone as comfortable as possible. From the detailed email sent prior to our arrival, to the great welcome guide provided at the house, with helpful tips, hiking and restaurant suggestions and lots of info about the entire area. She has created a home away from home for her guests.We had a fantastic stay and highly recommend the Wilstone Lodge! We will definitely be back.

What a great view! Our family enjoy a peaceful, relaxing stay at this great mountain home. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Plenty of activities down the mountain: restaurants, golf, shopping and more. Also we were able to do a hike from the house. We will definitely be planning to stay here in the future.

Beautiful and spacious home in NC mountains provided a quiet and picturesque location for my adult family members to meet and reunite. Plenty of comfortable seating around the fireplace in the living room while two large decks and outdoor seating offered wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and valley below.

Incredible views!

We loved our stay at Wilstone Lodge! The views from the deck were magnificent and enjoyed in the mornings and each evening. The house is hilltop - but definitely worth the daily mountain road commute to town. We love the Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area! We enjoyed a most relaxing vacation in a beautiful mountain setting and will return again. Jamie was a wonderful host - with great communication!

Amazing getaway

We have stayed in the area for several years straight. Overall this was the best house we have stayed in. Great views and trails close to the house and close to our favorite places slab town and the fix for when we are hungry and want to go out. However it could be a house we didn’t leave for a week to go out.

Great House and Great Host

We normally ask questions before we commit to renting a home, and Jamie was outstanding in answering our advance questions quickly and completely. We had one minor issue after we arrived and within a few minutes of emailing her we heard back with info to fix the issue. The house and view are everything that the photos and reviews show, and then some. The two extremely large decks are highly unusual in a home in this price range. Although there are homes within a few hundred feet of this house, we never heard a sound from any of them. The road leading up to the house is paved but steep, with many sharp turns, but everyone drives it slowly and there is room for two cars to pass by each other. It can be a bit intimidating at first, but we got used to it quickly. We highly recommend this home and host.

Amazing!!!

We feel very fortunate to have booked this property for our sibling/spouses family reunion. We are a group of retirees but this property would easily accommodate families with children. The property is situated on the Blue Ridge Escarpment with breathtaking views. It is appointed with great detail for a relaxing stay or as a base to explore the beautiful area. Each bedroom is it's own suite, living rooms and kitchen are spacious with every amenity. We spent most of our time gathering and playing cards on the deck enjoying the fantastic sunrises and sunsets. The host thought of everything. Tom and Carolyn

On Cloud 9

Very nice clean cabin, extra large covered back porch with wood burning fireplace and satellite TV. Located at the top of the mountain with paved roads all the way. All the amenities you need to enjoy yourself. Spectacular views with privacy. Great Southern exposure, so you never have the Sun blaring into the home/porch from the East or West. This place did not feel like a rental, it felt like home. Jamie was great to communicate with. One of the best places we have stayed.
