Fantastic

Great location for the property with neighbors but enough space between. The house itself was just right for four adult men to sleep and lounge. We appreciated the use of the fireplace during the chilly days. Hosts were very responsive to questions. Overall great experience.

Great little getaway!!

This was our first time in Sapphire. We were in town for a wedding in Cashiers and had a great weekend! The house was perfect for us. The owners checked on us each day that we were there. It was in a quiet little area and only about 15 minutes from Cashiers.

Cute house close to ski at sapphire Valley

We booked last minute and are glad we did. The house was great. The location was close to tubing and we also went into cashiers. The owners were extremely helpful with checking in, our ammenity cards and tips on where to go. We enjoyed some cozy family time by the fire. Great relaxing getaway!!!

Ideally located mountain home

My wife and I were looking for a vacation rental in the cashiers are to serve as a home base for our waterfall hiking trips. This listing fit the bill perfectly. The spatious and clean home with a great kitchen ended up being even moremimoryant since the weather did not cooperate with us on Friday. The owner was very communicative and helpful.

Beautiful Property

Peaceful Mountain is a beautiful home and Todd is a very responsive host. He took time to inform us of bear activity and safety rules before our arrival. We didn't see a bear on or around the property, but did see one walking on the golf course down the road in the evening. The driveway is crazy steep, which means no steps into the house! That was awesome for my soon-to-be 87 year old mom, who needs a walker and isn't very stable on her feet. Everything in the house is on 1 floor. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The coffee maker is a drip coffee maker with its own filter. You don't need to bring filters. I've been spoiled by Keurig brewers, so re-learning how to avoid coffee grounds in my coffee was a challenge for me! Hints for the kitchen: buy a bag of ice for the freezer. There were 2 silicone ice cube makers in there. And, do not press the black button on the faucet sprayer!!! It will shut off the water, and you will be embarrassed calling Todd for help! Also, there were ants in the kitchen, so don't leave any food out. We had to throw away a bag of potato chips that was left out on the counter, and knock ants off of dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. There were ant traps out on the counters. We saw the Whitewater waterfall. It was beautiful!!! Definitely go down the stairs if you can. You get a closer, amazing view of the waterfall. We ate at The Orchard restaurant. The food was good, but the prices are ridiculous. $35 for Mushroom ravioli with a side salad, and that was one of the least expensive entrees. We were only there for a long weekend, so weren't able to use the Resort amenities. All-in-all, Peaceful Mountain is a beautiful home, Todd is an awesome host, and I do recommend this property!

Rental process was easy, owners were friendly and responsive. The property was exactly as advertised, very cozy, plenty of space to accomodate 6 comfortably and with all the conforts of home. Great location as well, plenty of good restaurants and outdoor activites within a 20 minute drive. I would definately recommend this rental.

Perfect Private Location

Todd and Barbie were the perfect hosts. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your vacation rental. It was so spacious and had everything we needed. We did encounter a visitor. But definitely our fault for leaving the car unlocked. For those visiting - don't leave any food in your car (including unopened bags of sunflower seeds)! Yes, bears can open doors! We actually got a good laugh out of it and a great story to tell. Thanks again for making our trip memorable.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property for a girls getaway weekend. Comfortable and clean home. Lots of privacy as this home is at the end of the cul-de-sac in an established neighborhood. Lovely deck overlooking the back yard with wooded views, deer, and fresh springtime air. We would definitely love to return to this property in the future!
