Sapphire Hideaways' High Heaven Who lives at the top of that mountain? YOU CAN!

Welcome to High Heaven Hideaway — a guest-favorite 5-star private home from Sapphire Hideaways, tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains at 4,133 feet. This stunning, secluded retreat sleeps groups or families comfortably with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and about 4,000 sq ft of air-conditioned living space. On a clear day (or night!) the views stretch more than 60 miles — locals say it’s the best view in the area.

What you’ll love
- A gourmet chef’s kitchen fully stocked with high-end appliances and plenty of cookware — perfect for quick breakfasts or special dinners with friends and family.
- Open, two-story living spaces (this is a true two-story home, not a converted basement) with vaulted ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.
- Huge decks on two levels with cable railings for unobstructed mountain and lake views — catch spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the deck chairs.
- Elegant, comfortable bedrooms designed for privacy and restful sleep. The home has a master and two bedrooms on each level.
- Luxurious master bath featuring marble tile, his-and-hers sinks, an oversized jetted tub, and a marble shower.
- Fun extras: full-size pool table, full-size ping-pong table, theater-style recliner seating with a large flatscreen, and a telescope (please supervise children).

Special features
- Beautiful bamboo wood flooring and high-quality furnishings throughout.
- Large pantry, mudroom, laundry areas (main level and additional laundry on the lower level), and a pet area.
- Two outdoor fire pits plus an indoor fireplace for cozy evenings.
- A pretty ranch-style front that opens into a spacious two-story interior.
- Water features: a waterfall runs beside the home and there are two small waterfalls along the driveway.
- On clear nights you can even spot Clemson University stadium lights, and from the back decks you can see Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee.

Renovations and layout
The home has been remodeled top to bottom with no expense spared. The main level flows easily between the kitchen, dining, and living areas — ideal for large family gatherings — and the lower level adds extra living space with a kitchenette and entertainment areas.

Come stay with us
High Heaven Hideaway was created for family time, comfort, and memorable mountain views. We’d love to host you and show you everything Sapphire and Cashiers, NC have to offer.

A few notes
- Please supervise children when using the telescope and around outdoor features.
- There is a 3.5% non-refundable fee for credit card payments.

Thanks for looking — we can’t wait to welcome you to the mountaintop soon!
— Kim, Sapphire Hideaways

The house was absolutely beautiful. The host had EVERYTHING you could possibly need in the house. We were in town for our daughter's wedding and we couldn't wait to get back to this beautiful home to relax and enjoy the firepit and the gameroom. Everyone said they slept great ana the beds were very comfortable. I could have stayed there for the rest if my life and been very happy .

Stunning Home, Fully Equipped for Cooking & Entertainment

We were fortunate to reserve Kim’s home to celebrate a birthday. The house is beautifully decorated with the mountains providing a stunning backdrop. Each night we cooked and found the kitchen to be extremely well equipped with plenty of bowls and pots and pans. The game room downstairs had something for everyone. Communication and instructions were very clear. We had no problems with access, and Kim was super responsive. I would return and recommend this home to anyone looking for a mountain getaway.

The Perfect House

This house was truly ideal for five couples, each enjoying their own queen or king size bed. The arcade games, pool table, and ping-pong table brought endless joy! The kitchen was abundantly equipped with pots, pans, silverware, and cooking utensils, enabling us to create delightful meals as we were snowed in. With everything we needed at our fingertips, our group of ten thrived together! The views were breathtaking, enhancing our unforgettable experience. We had an incredible time!

Wonderful place with everything you need to stay entertained. The view is amazing! We loved the layout and how they setup the bedroom space. Very comfortable for sleeping and the bathrooms are done up perfect. Kim was fantastic to deal with and very responsive. It’s another reminder of why we don’t use hotels anymore. We will visit again and I just ask that anyone else who stays there to take good care and respect this beautiful place for future visitors!

Perfect House!

Our family just left High Heaven and we were so sad to go! We had the most wonderful stay. The house is so well appointed very spacious. There are 3 bedrooms on each floor. The floor plan really allows everyone some privacy and also offers many great gathering spaces. Each night we ate dinner on the upper deck and had s’mores by the fire on the lowest level. There is a pool table, pop-a-shot, and ping pong. The upper kitchen has everything you need and room to spread out and cook with others. The view- it’s spectacular. The house is super clean and equipped with everything we needed. The owner is very nice and easy to communicate with. We would give this house 100 stars if we could! All positive! Thanks for a great stay.

Beautiful home with breathtaking mountain views

We were so impressed with this lovely home and it’s gorgeous views. Our family of 15 people (which included ages of 6 months to 72 years) all agreed that we couldn’t have had a prettier place to stay and enjoy each others company. All of us fit fine in the main living area but there was also a fantastic rec room that the children loved and spent a lot of time in. The kitchen was very pretty and functioned well with two or more cooks. There was enough refrigerator space to accommodate all of our groceries, and the kitchen was wonderfully stocked with all the kitchenware you could want. The downstairs kitchen and additional laundry facilities were very helpful. The three levels of decks were fantastic and again, never felt crowded. We built a campfire one night and the set up of the space worked beautifully and allowed all of us to congregate in that very pretty area and easily talk to each other. We’d highly recommend this home for your mountain stay.

Incredible mountain views

This is a beautiful home with spectacular views from 3 levels of decks and from nearly all the bedrooms and common areas. The kitchen is big and exceptionally well-equipped. The game room has a pool table, ping pong, and an arcade player with a wide range of games for all ages. All of us (grandparents, kids and grandkids) enjoyed it immensely. There are many TVs around the home, so everyone can watch what they wish. The house is very well furnished, including LOTS of outdoor furniture and a gas fireplace on the top deck. Plenty of parking in the driveway. The winding road to the property is well paved, but narrow, so you have to go slow. We saw a bear and her three cubs in the driveway, so pay attention to the rules. We had a great time!

90th Birthday celebration

Our family gathered at High Heaven to celebrate my Mother-in-law’s 90th birthday. Our group included 2 2 year old boys, a 7 year old girl, and adults ranging in age from 25 to 90. We couldn’t have found a more perfect home for our celebration! We were in awe of the views from the upper and lower decks, as well as most of the rooms in this gorgeous home. We enjoyed everything, from cooking many meals in the fully stocked kitchen, the fireplace in the main room, the fire pit, the concrete fireplace on the upper deck, and of course, the game room in the lower level. We were all delighted to watch deer grazing in the early mornings from the dining room window and deck. Kim was wonderful to work with throughout our stay and answered my texts within minutes. Thank you Kim for sharing your home with our family. My Mother-in-law said that this was one of the best memories of her life!
