Perfect in every way
I consider myself picky, but every detail was truly perfect. The view of the mountains is breathtakingly beautiful. We had a lot of rain but the outdoor porch is designed so that we could still sit outside comfortably under the covered area, or inside a screened in porch, and stay dry. We loved having the grill and the house had everything we needed and more. The gathering area was perfectly designed for all of us to sit and play games, watch movies, or simply enjoy the fireplace. Every piece of furniture was very comfortable (especially the bed) and the house was spotless. We drove a short distance and hiked trails, saw waterfalls, strolled through the shops in Highlands and afterwards even went swimming at a covered, heated public pool they have there. However. I would have happily just stayed on that porch the entire time. We hope to return in the future!

Great House for a Getaway
Beautiful home in a quaint neighborhood with amazing views! The floor plan was perfect and allowed my parents to be on one side of the house and my family (my husband and I and our four children) on the other. The home was equipped with everything we could have needed and more! It was very clean and tidy and the owner offered many suggestions on places to eat and shop and things to do locally with our children. Access to a laundry room was a huge plus when coming in from tubing. The amenities at Sapphire Valley were great too. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again if we are ever in the area!

10/10 Mountain Home
This house was so perfect for our family! Having the split floor plan gave us privacy near the kids and my parents got peace and privacy on the other side of the common rooms. The first thing we all did every morning was to look at the view of the mountains. My dad and I sat and swung enjoying that view a lot. All of the beds and furniture was quite comfortable and we loved having the fireplace. The location was central to Brevard and Highlands and we were able to do a lot of adventuring with a quiet and restful place to come back to.

Awesome view
We had a fabulous time at Jason’s house in Sapphire Valley. Some of us played golf and walked the dogs at the dog park. The view was amazing and we loved sitting on the deck to watch the sunset. We had no problem getting amenity cards. Communication was easy and Jason was available for questions at a minute notice.
The house was clean and well appointed. We would definitely come back.

A lovely and well furnished/equipped home with the best view of the mountains that I have had in my 4 years of staying in sapphire valley. Jason had our names all ready at the sapphire community desk which made the process go super fast for our use of the lake and the other included facilities. Hope to stay here again. Thank you, Jason.

Summer Getaway
As previously noted, the view from the deck gives this house marks above other houses we've stayed at in the area. We always had a pleasant breeze and lots of wildlife to view including a bear just passing through. The accommodations were exactly as described and very comfortable. The host did a fantastic job of communicating with us prior to and during our stay. Besides adding some comfortable reclining chairs on the back deck, our group gives this property a 10/10. Hope to be back again!

Birthday and Wedding Anniversary Celebration.
This year was very special (my birthday and our 70th wedding anniversary). We have stayed in several places in the Sapphire area, but the view there was the most spectacular of all our stays there. I cannot imagine that view during the fall season. The unit is very comfortable in size and furnishings. The entrance would have been a bit of a challenge for me (my 88th birthday) but we had our kids there that took care of all the driving.

It was a wonderful home.....very comfortable. Beautiful view off the back deck just like pictures. Beautiful area if you enjoy mountain setting. Host was excellent to communicate with.
Driveway is short and steep like he mentions in description. There isn't much of a front or side yard so to speak for dogs or kids.
Setting is beautiful in a wonderful neighborhood.

Great find in Sapphire Valley! Jason was a great host and answered all of our questions. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. The home was very clean. It was close to the Sapphire Valley Resort where we we enjoyed tubing. We also enjoyed some great hikes too.
