Home is fully furnished, and beautifully landscaped.

Our cabin has a wilderness setting on 1.5 private acres. Beautiful back yard deck overlooks stream with waterfall. where you can often view wild trout. Open window or screen door and hear the sound of the waterfall throughout the home. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee on the covered deck out front overlooking a second waterfall. An enclosed Gazebo with swing also sits next to the pond.

The home is spacious with high ceilings. It has a large Master bedroom and two other bedrooms. A large living room, dining room and eat in kitchen with table and large island overlooking pond! All bed linens and towels provided. Fully equipped kitchen including dishes and cooking utensils. TV is setup with Roku streaming. A second Roku TV in the Master Bedroom.

The home borders Gorges park which has several streams and waterfalls within walking distance. Upper Whitewater Falls, the e highest waterfall east of the Rockies, is minutes away. The falls plunge an amazing 411 feet!This is an extremely desirable area in North Carolina, close to Cashiers & Highlands. Brevard is a 30-minute drive and Asheville is an hour and 15 minutes away. Area is famous for the many waterfalls in the surrounding regions. Great summer and winter recreation close by, including: hiking, fishing, horseback riding, white water rafting, tubing, etc.

Kick your shoes off and splash around in the crystal clear creek just steps from the living room.

This property can not be rented for more than 30 days during the High Season Months (April, May , June , September & October)

We do not have access to the Sapphire Lodge .

If you see a large black snake, that is "Poopyconder" ( named by one of our grandkids) Please do not kill him. He is a rat snake and helps us keep the rodent problem under control. He will not bother you.

A Peaceful Getaway

We had the best time at this perfectly equipped, peaceful cabin. The location was great, easy to find and felt like a tucked away little paradise. The cabin had everything we could possibly need to cook all our meals and enjoy the whole weekend. Groceries are less than 20 mins away which was nice in case we forgot something. The little corner store down the street had lots of useful items as well. There were hikes nearby, Gorges State park is just a few miles down the road. The pond and creek in the back and front of the house were lovely. We enjoyed coffee on the back porch while the kids ran around collecting pine cones. We will definitely be back!

Its proximity to everything is perfect it’s centrally located 15 minutes to ingles in cashiers and 25 minutes to Brevard.

Beautiful location. The house was spotless and cozy. Enjoyed the swing by the small pond as well as the large deck. With the beautiful weather, we were able to enjoy both. The owner responded quickly to questions. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Comfy with split plan

We arrived to very super clean and well kept home. We loved everything about it. Usually with a different bed I need a couple of days to get used to, the master bed put me in dream land. We did a lot of cooking and everything was there for us. Description does mention hot tub, but its really a big jacuzzi type in master bath. Young adults enjoyed their bedroooms. Plenty of hot water for all. Loved taking my morning comfy out by pond. Definitely would stay again.

Waterfall wind down

Sitting on the porch and listening to the little waterfalls at this property was priceless! My family truly enjoyed "getting away from it all" here. We took day trips to Brevard, Highlands, and Lake Jocassee, but cherish the quiet evenings we spent making s'mores and listening to the frogs at this property. The home was clean and the beds were comfortable. Utensils and supplies we needed for making meals and snacks were available in the kitchen. We bothered the poor host with questions about Wifi (it's hard to "unplug" sometimes), and they always answered quickly and kindly. We are so thankful to have found such a lovely retreat and hope to come back some day!

Stunning Landscape and Great Amenities!

The drive to this property was a little iffy until you hit the beautiful garden gate then you're immersed into all things green and beautiful. The creek running on the property made for soothing morning with coffee and great nights around the fire. It was hard to leave. Everything you need was here and available, from wine glasses to toilet paper. The owner is very responsive and replies promptly. Very customer service oriented and has gone above and beyond making out trip special. You won't regret booking this beauty.

Amazing property

I have never stayed in a house that is so well equipped. Everything we could possibly need was provided down to a garlic press. The location is ideal with a stream on one side and a pond and waterfall on the other making it quiet and restful. Both the TV and WiFi worked perfectly. Overall a great stay.
