Great location between a bunch of great trails and waterfalls. Plenty to do or nothing to do all works out well. The house is very comfortable and spacious. The lake is peaceful and open enough for a quick trip out on the water. We really enjoyed our time and the house!

This was perfect for our weekend trip. The only suggestion I would make is to let visitors know of the steps you have to walk down to the front door. With suitcases it was a struggle down and back up. We had a wonderful while we were there.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The house was nicely decorated and very comfortable but the views were the star of the show. The view of the lake was just beautiful. My husband and friend spent an entire day on the lake canoeing and then relaxing by the fire pit. One word of caution: the house is perched on a hillside so there are many steps getting to the fire pit and the dock. It’s not a problem if you are in fairly good shape. My husband and I are 70 and 71 and had no problem.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house in the mountains! The lake view was stunning, and we loved having the kayaks and firepit to enjoy the outdoors. The house was very clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent, and the whole experience was so relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommend!

Everything was perfect except our bed had boogers on the pillow and dirt in the bed. We had to wash everything immediately. Seemed like a cleaner just remade a bed rather than washing it.

The house was very nice and spotless. It offered easy access to Cashiers and Highlands. The lake was just the right size for some paddling and fishing. Communication with Drew was good. Our only issues were the 165 steps or so to the dock, we couldn’t get our Ford Edge down the driveway and there is literally no yard to walk your pets in.

Amazing and beautiful home with so many wonderful places to hang out. The interior was very well appointed. The colors, the lighting, the dimmer switches, the well-appointed kitchen, and the views from every window made for a beatiful time. Super comfortable furniture and bed. It was just two of us and this just perfect. The photos show it as it us but the experience was so much better. A truly lovely home. We even bought the same chairs they have by the fire pit for our fire area. Amazing!

I stayed here with my husband and dog. The pictures don’t do the house justice. The house is beautiful and tastefully decorated. It’s also way bigger than it appears in the listing. We had so much space, and it was fantastic. The outside part with the dock and fire pit is beautiful, and the daily view of the lake was one of the highlights. We stayed mid September just before peak Fall so it was very quiet and low key. We took daily walks in the neighborhood which was beautiful and quiet. There are lots of steps to navigate to get in and out of the house so that’s something for people to keep in mind if they have mobility issues, but it’s a lake side house on the side of a mountain so that should not be a surprise. My husband and I enjoyed our relaxing and peaceful week here, and we would definitely stay again in a heart beat. The host was easily available via the VRBO messenger. I’m already planning a trip for next year.

Beautiful home, set up very nicely!Everything you need and very clean.Drip coffee pot.Peaceful view of lake.Screened patio for coffee in morning.My family enjoyed the canoe and kayaks.Perfect place to get out on the water!Made some s’mores at the fire pit.We hiked the rainbow and turtle back falls, Whiteside mountain.Both hikes a bit more strenuous than we are use to but so worth it.Enjoyed Cashiers Farmers market. El Manzanillo has terrific Mexican food, super friendly staff.Sat on the patio at Micas enjoyed a nice early dinner.The Pizza is delicious.The house is in a great location for day trips to so many places.We had a superb meal at The Blind Mule in Brevard!I will say there are a lot of steps, would not recommend for elderly/handicapped.Thanks for the great memories.

Gorgeous lake views and beautiful home

This is a marvelous place to unwind, regroup, and just leave the rest of the world behind. The lake, the trees, the total lack of street noise, make you feel like you’ve really taken a step back from the day to day grind.The house itself is lovely and impeccably maintained. My small group chose to stay close to home and soak up all the relaxation the place offered. We left feeling rested and rejuvenated, having spent four days and nights enjoying good views, fresh air, a few spectacular storms, and wonderful food shared among friends.One note for those it might affect – the pics clearly show the stairs down to the dock and since two of my party of four have some mobility issues, we were aware that not everyone would choose to make the trek. But there’s also the stairs from the driveway to the house. The bottom third or so has no handrails and is a bit uneven. There was one fall taken that probably contributed to our decision to stay in rather than exploring more. Still, this won’t be an issue for most.It's a beautiful home and I would highly recommend it.

Relaxing and enjoyable family vacation

Our family trip to Sapphire was full of adventure to waterfalls, kayaking, great restaurants, and relaxing at the nearby resort’s indoor pool/ hot tub. The house is on a lake that does not allow loud boats so the kayaking was smooth. One of the bedrooms had a private balcony and my adult daughters appreciated the other bedrooms with a full bath for each person. The owners were very communicative and helped make the vacation perfect!
