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.

If I could give this property and the hosts six stars, I would. This house couldn't be in a better location. You're ten minutes by car to Gorges State Park. You're also within 10-12 minutes of several great restaurants. The house is spacious, well-stocked, and perfectly clean. Check in could not have been easier. We hiked all day, ate out, and slept soundly. The backyard is its own private paradise. The creek is beautiful. We felt safe, close to the things we wanted to do, yet it was completely private. Communication was excellent. If you're on the fence about booking a house near Sapphire, don't hesitate. This one checks off all the boxes.

This home was perfect for our family of four. Our kids (13 and 15) loved exploring the creek behind the house. It kept them entertained for hours. The porches were ideal for relaxing and unwinding after a day of adventure.The house strikes a great balance between modern and classic fun, offering gaming entertainment along with old-fashioned favorites like ping pong, checkers, and board games.The location is also incredibly convenient to Cashiers. Some of our favorite nearby adventures included hiking Rainbow Falls at Gorges State Park, playing footgolf at Sapphire Country Club, and zip lining at Highlands Aerial Park.We’d absolutely stay here again!

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!
