New years’ vacation

My extended family stayed in this house through the new year. The house is big and there are several different areas for groups to gather and play games, watch TV, etc. The views from the multiple decks were incredible. The gas fireplaces worked well, and the outdoor fire pit with stocked wood was wonderful. The management company made it easy to check in and check out.

Wonderful rental house

We had a wonderful stay at this house for a last minute family getaway. The house design allowed for groups to have plenty of space and room to spread out. The game room downstairs was a HUGE hit with the kiddos. Wifi was strong for the area and the kitchen was well stocked for our needs. Only complaint / request would be for more seating on the lovely porch to enjoy the view! Would rent again!

Great views and great family house

The house is as described with 6 bedroom/5 bath and is great for a large family or multiple families. 3 master suites which is nice. Lots of room and close to the town of Cashiers. Incredible views. The only negative was the renovations that were underway. Looks like there are new owners and they are making improvements. Didnt bother us but I can see where this may bother the tenant looking for perfection.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Property was dirty and poorly stocked with bar accessories.

We are accustomed to renting properties for our group and were very disappointed in the cleanliness and accommodations. We had 8 adults and outside there was a table and four chairs. This house had 6 bedrooms and it was so surprising to see the lack of outdoor seating. A couple of the bathrooms were dirty with toothpaste and hair in the sinks, and one closet had no light bulb. The porch windows looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months. Dead flowers were left in the dining room. The newel posts had so much dust, you could write your name in them. You would of thought with COVID being so prevalent, extra attention would have paid to those areas. We contacted the management and they tried to get someone to come and clean, but it was going to be 2 days, so we said never mind. We. Leaned it ourselves. We were given a garage door opener, it didn’t work. We met the neighbor and were told there was a cleaning crew there most of the day. Not sure what they did. The bar area had absolutely nothing in it. No wine glasses, no drink glasses and no wine or bottle openers.

Great house , Linens and towels smelled muty and mildewy.

It was easy to rent the house and the property was nice except the cleanliness of the house was not great. It had not been dusted and shower curtains and mildew you on them . The towels and sheets smelled musty and moldy. We found damp towels in the dryer that had been in there for a while because it made the laundry room and kitchen area smell musty as well. The kitchen did not have enough dishes for as many rooms is that house is capable of holding.. The refrigerator and the great room was full of ice it had melted and refrozen. The refrigerator in the laundry room had been unplugged and smelled of mold and mildew. The kitchen refrigerator had mildew around the door. The house was a great house, just not well cared for as far as upkeep.

Great Time In Sapphire

Had a wonderful time . The home was plenty big enough to accommodate all 10 of us. Plenty of room to do things as a group but yet one could have some peace and quiet if you wanted to. Kitchen well stock with dishes and utensils. Linda Barden from Landmark Vacation Rentals is AWESOME. She was very helpful from the beginning of the booking process til check out. The one criticism is that there is not much “ stuff “ in the house . Such as games ,movies and books about the local area. Overall though , we had a Wonderful time .
