Stunning Home, Fully Equipped for Cooking & Entertainment

We were fortunate to reserve Kim’s home to celebrate a birthday. The house is beautifully decorated with the mountains providing a stunning backdrop. Each night we cooked and found the kitchen to be extremely well equipped with plenty of bowls and pots and pans. The game room downstairs had something for everyone. Communication and instructions were very clear. We had no problems with access, and Kim was super responsive. I would return and recommend this home to anyone looking for a mountain getaway.

The Perfect House

This house was truly ideal for five couples, each enjoying their own queen or king size bed. The arcade games, pool table, and ping-pong table brought endless joy! The kitchen was abundantly equipped with pots, pans, silverware, and cooking utensils, enabling us to create delightful meals as we were snowed in. With everything we needed at our fingertips, our group of ten thrived together! The views were breathtaking, enhancing our unforgettable experience. We had an incredible time!

Wonderful place with everything you need to stay entertained. The view is amazing! We loved the layout and how they setup the bedroom space. Very comfortable for sleeping and the bathrooms are done up perfect. Kim was fantastic to deal with and very responsive. It’s another reminder of why we don’t use hotels anymore. We will visit again and I just ask that anyone else who stays there to take good care and respect this beautiful place for future visitors!

A trip to remember

This house was absolutely stunning. So clean and that VIEW is breathtaking. We enjoyed cooking and having breakfast and dinner outside on the balcony. The game room was perfect for our group of 8. So much to do in this house. We were just sad we couldn’t stay longer. The decor in this house was beautiful and just so comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Perfection!

Nestled perfectly in the Smoky Mountains, High Heaven with its stunning views and all the amenities you could possibly want or need, did not disappoint. The owner was just as excited about our stay than we were. She made us feel welcome and at home during our stay. The bedding is luxurious and the kitchen fully stocked. The place is tastefully decorated and super clean. The downstairs was a fun place to hang out and I loved being able to hear all of the waterfalls that are on the property. Perfect for large family and/or group. I definitely recommend and hope to be back.

We absolutely loved everything about High Heaven. The house is so beautiful, comfortable and extremely clean - we could have stayed forever :-) The kitchen is unbelievably well stocked with just about any kitchen tool you could possibly need, including 4 nice coffee machines, Kitchen Aid mixer and even Le Creuset pans. The view from the two decks is absolutely breathtaking. I probably took 50+ pictures :-) Kim is a wonderful host... She is super friendly and always responded to my questions quickly. We highly recommend this place and would love to come back!

Perfect House!

Our family just left High Heaven and we were so sad to go! We had the most wonderful stay. The house is so well appointed very spacious. There are 3 bedrooms on each floor. The floor plan really allows everyone some privacy and also offers many great gathering spaces. Each night we ate dinner on the upper deck and had s’mores by the fire on the lowest level. There is a pool table, pop-a-shot, and ping pong. The upper kitchen has everything you need and room to spread out and cook with others. The view- it’s spectacular. The house is super clean and equipped with everything we needed. The owner is very nice and easy to communicate with. We would give this house 100 stars if we could! All positive! Thanks for a great stay.

Family Retreat

Where do I start...High Heave had everything you could want in a mountain vacation rental and more. It was truly a home away from home. You can tell the love and detail Kim has put into this property and we are so thankful she has opted to share it with others! The home was spacious enough for our three families (6 adults, 3 kids) in that it never felt like we were on top of each other, but also had common areas large enough we could gather comfortably. The outdoor living space is superb and functional with an absolutely incredible view. The game room was perfect for the little and "big" kids. Location, location, location...the property was central enough to the town of Cashiers but also close to all the wonderful outdoor hikes in the area. We cannot wait to come back -- May even start a family trip tradition back to High Heaven!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Shoup

Host profile image
I'm Kim, the owner of Sapphire Hideaways that owns and manages several different properties in the Sapphire, NC area.

We have the cleanest and well appointed units! Oh so comfortable furnishings..... and top of the line kitchen utensils and equipment!

If you need something specific, just ask and I will do my very best to get it for you!

I am a native Floridian born and raised in Miami, and now in New Smyrna Beach area, but I escape up to the mountains every chance I get!

I've been bringing my 3 boys (now full grown) up to the area for over 25 years! We just love it up there and have the best vacation memories from the years of visiting. Now, we are fortunate enough to offer this experience to our guests. It honestly makes me so happy to see couples, families and friends enjoying our spaces and making great memories!

Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

The view is said to be the best in all of Sapphire! It really is incredible and what made me purchase this home and lovingly rehab it for 2 and 1/2 years!

When things got tough or challenging that view kept me going!
