Fantastic experience. Owners were great. Communication, their recommendations, and checking on us during the stay. The property is quiet, well equiped, close enough to amenities but still private. We would visit Sapphire again and we would consider staying here as well. Great property and a nice value.

What a phenomenal house! Everything was well kept, clean, and exactly as presented on VRBO. The back yard area was so much fun. We walked in the creeks, saw deer crossing in the early evening, and roasted marshmallows in the fire pit! The hosts were easily reached with the random questions I threw at them.We plan on returning next year!

The house had great activities for our family. The game room was great (though we could never get the VR headset to work). We loved the ping pong table! There were some maintenance items that needed addressing, which were brought to the attention of the owners. Also, the house could probably use a good deep clean, and address the maintenance issues that were brought up. We gave the owners some ideas on how to really allow guests to arrive and feel relaxed vs having to run out to get basics (paper towels, hand soap, etc). Could use a refresh on clean, stain free towels in the primary bathroom as well as the bedding in the primary.

The stream outside the house was so relaxing to listen to and we spent a lot of time sitting outside in the beautiful nature that surrounded the house. Location was central and easy to get to restaurants and grocery store. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you again for a wonderful and relaxing vacation!
