Our Mountain Oasis - Where Christmas Is All Year - Single Story - Pet Friendly
Relax and unwind at Our Mountain Oasis! Our 3 bedroom, 3 bath, single story home is easy on your back, no need to lug suitcases up or down flights of stairs. The open floor plan provides the perfect gathering place for family and friends but when it is time for some quiet seclusion, each bedroom is located for privacy. Our home includes 2 suites on opposite sides of the house, each with it's own private, uncovered deck to enjoy your early morning coffee. In the living room, 2 sets of large sliding doors expand the living area further onto a large screened deck with ample seating for relaxing. This is the ideal spot for wine and conversation. The deck also includes a dining area to enjoy your steak fresh off the grill. The elevated deck offers soft breezes and a mountain view that feels as if you are floating in the trees. On cool evenings, lounge in front of one of the gas fireplaces located in the living room or on the deck. Our elegantly rustic home with its beautiful wood accents has a quiet, private ambiance yet you have easy access to the Sapphire Valley Masters Association amenities, local outdoor activities, and even some shopping if you so desire. Whether you are joining us for the solitude of a comfortable home away from home or looking to spend your days packed with outdoor pursuits, we know you will cherish the time you spend here and we will be proud to welcome you back time and time again.

Very nice property close to all the sites, HKE was wonderful and did not feel like a vacation property but more of a home. Enjoyed the Fireplace to read and relax in front of. Amenities where as described and better.
As a connoisseur of rentals, this is one of the few places I would absolutely return to... great layout, fabulous porch, tasteful decor and extremely well stocked!We took all our Christmas gifts with us and enjoyed a 5-night stay with lots of hiking, playground fun, game nights, fabulous home-cooked meals, and wine. I can't say enough good things about our stay. Maybe next time, we'll go in a bit warmer clime to take advantage of the porch, even though the floor heater and fireplace made it very hospitable for morning coffee wrapped in a blanket.Dorothy, the owner, was fabulous to work with...very responsive and informative.
Location is great and private close to Cashiers and shopping is nearby House was beautifully furnished with all the necessities and more. Very clean. We can’t wait to come back again.
We enjoyed staying in this beautiful home so much! Not only is the house very nice (and so, so clean) but the view is beautiful and it feels very private. The location is perfect. When you're at the house it feels very secluded but it's also very close to so much. We went shopping in Brevard, dining in both Sapphire and Cashiers, and visited several beautiful waterfalls in the area. We loved relaxing on the screened porch with such a nice view. And the large gathering area in the house is so well thought out with separate areas for relaxing in front of the fireplace, watching TV or playing games. Dorothy was very responsive to my questions and so nice to work with. She has really put a lot of thought into making the stay at this home very relaxing and comfortable. And I loved her detailed instruction book! We hope to return for another stay soon!
We loved our stay and appreciated the ease of contact with the owners if needed. The perfect spot for a family getaway - having a Christmas tree and decorations were the icing on the cake as we were there for Christmas!
it was a last minute trip and although it was only one night dorothy made sure it was possibly and helped me out tremendously. would definitely recommend
Great floor plan, location, and decor. Super relaxing! We came up from Atlanta, and it was convenient to Lake Toxaway, Cashiers, and Highlands. Would def stay again.
This was the perfect cabin and location for our 5-night family Christmas. Dorothy was very helpful and accommodating, and the cabin was beautifully updated and well-stocked with everything needed to make for a wonderful getaway. Comfortable, relaxing, and cozy!!
Everything about our stay was perfectly amazing!! The home is immaculate & gorgeous! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Communication was great & highly recommend! Cannot wait to stay again!
Beautiful mountain home! Home has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing getaway. Loved the screened porch you feel like you are in a treehouse with great view of the mountain. Great location to visit all the neighboring mountain towns as well. Owner is very responsive and provides many nice touches to make your stay feel upscale!
We booked our stay at this beautiful home and are already wanting to go back!
In wanting to plan a short getaway we also wanted to help the area of the Western NC Mountains that had recently sustained so much damage from Hurricane Helene.
The home sits where the views are amazing, private and just a short drive to activities. The ability to open the double doors that separate the inside from the screened in porch creates such a relaxing atmosphere.
All the rooms are well appointed and allow everyone privacy or gathering together. The owners put a lot of thought into items that would make this feel more like a home than just another vacation property. Every detail was thought out and even provide an extremely detailed guest information book.
We ended up staying at the property the majority of our time because of the relaxing environment and all the extra things that are available use (games, fireplace reading, gathering, grilling, etc).
From my initial contact with Dorothy she made the whole process of renting her home so easy!
Such a wonderful stay! We had everything we needed - and so much more! Great location - very convenient to restaurants and shopping. And the screened porch is AMAZING! Plenty of seating, a fireplace, and a great view!
We loved reconnecting with dear friends at Our Mountain Oasis. A perfect location with great views and everything you need for a wonderful vacation. The porch is amazing and elevated to be amongst the beautiful trees. We look forward to returning!
Our stay was amazing. House was beautiful with a screened porch where we spent most of our time.
The owner was wonderful to work with and always very responsive. It was a lovely way to ring in the NewYear!
We very much enjoyed our stay. The house is very nice and was just perfect for our group. Spending time on the porch overlooking the woods was very relaxing and a highlight of our stay. A great place to unwind after doing some paddling in the area.
Thank you for sharing your house with us!
What a lovely vacation retreat! Highly recommend this lovely home for a remote and relaxing getaway. Miss Dorothy is the quintessential host and took care of every sweet detail to make our anniversary celebration extra special. Home is beautifully furnished, fully stocked kitchen, plethora of books, games, soaker tub, luxurious bedding, etc. Can’t wait to return!

About the host
Hosted by Dorothy Young
My husband and I are native Texans and still generally reside in Texas where my husband owns his own real estate company. He has been a real estate broker all his adult life and we have cherished the joy of ushering families into their new homes. As for me, I have been blessed to have a career as an RN for over 40 years. I started my career as an officer in the Army Nurse Corps, proudly serving this wonderful nation. My master's degree is in emergency care and triage but I was also a hospice nurse for many years. We have 4 wonderful children and 4 energetic grandchildren, of which we are very proud. We are so glad to share our home with you and know you will enjoy your time here as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
In 2019 we took our first trip to North Carolina and absolutely fell in love with the beauty of this unique geographical area. Located in a rain forest, the lush green of the foliage and the magnificent mountains literally made every turn in the road a moment to treasure and a feast for the eyes. When we are here, we are in a cocoon of quiet peace where our minds are calmed, we can brush off our troubles, and simply relax. We unplug, literally, and it is an amazing balm for the soul. When you visit with us we hope you will do the same.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with the expansive feel as we first stepped into our home. The open living room/kitchen/dining room offers cluster areas for private conversation or work yet allows participation from all sides of the room if desired. The large screened deck which is nestled in the trees offers a protected area to enjoy the outdoors no matter what the weather brings. As I presently sit on the deck typing this for you, I am greeted by the sunset peeking through the clouds even as gentle rain drops splatter on the leaves of the trees surrounding me. I hear the birds calling to each other in the distance and the wind rustling through the branches. Just imagine yourself here, sitting with your feet up on the ottoman as I am, leaving the worries of the world behind just for the day.
