Beautiful and spacious home in NC mountains provided a quiet and picturesque location for my adult family members to meet and reunite.

Incredible views!

We loved our stay at Wilstone Lodge! The views from the deck were magnificent and enjoyed in the mornings and each evening. The house is hilltop - but definitely worth the daily mountain road commute to town. We love the Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area! We enjoyed a most relaxing vacation in a beautiful mountain setting and will return again. Jamie was a wonderful host - with great communication!

Amazing getaway

We have stayed in the area for several years straight. Overall this was the best house we have stayed in. Great views and trails close to the house and close to our favorite places slab town and the fix for when we are hungry and want to go out. However it could be a house we didn’t leave for a week to go out.

Great House and Great Host

We normally ask questions before we commit to renting a home, and Jamie was outstanding in answering our advance questions quickly and completely. We had one minor issue after we arrived and within a few minutes of emailing her we heard back with info to fix the issue. The house and view are everything that the photos and reviews show, and then some. The two extremely large decks are highly unusual in a home in this price range. Although there are homes within a few hundred feet of this house, we never heard a sound from any of them. The road leading up to the house is paved but steep, with many sharp turns, but everyone drives it slowly and there is room for two cars to pass by each other. It can be a bit intimidating at first, but we got used to it quickly. We highly recommend this home and host.

Amazing!!!

We feel very fortunate to have booked this property for our sibling/spouses family reunion. We are a group of retirees but this property would easily accommodate families with children. The property is situated on the Blue Ridge Escarpment with breathtaking views. It is appointed with great detail for a relaxing stay or as a base to explore the beautiful area. Each bedroom is it's own suite, living rooms and kitchen are spacious with every amenity. We spent most of our time gathering and playing cards on the deck enjoying the fantastic sunrises and sunsets. The host thought of everything. Tom and Carolyn

Very nice clean cabin, extra large covered back porch with wood burning fireplace and satellite TV. Located at the top of the mountain with paved roads all the way. All the amenities you need to enjoy yourself. Spectacular views with privacy. Great Southern exposure, so you never have the Sun blaring into the home/porch from the East or West. This place did not feel like a rental, it felt like home. Jamie was great to communicate with. One of the best places we have stayed.

Anniversary

This was one of the best experiences in my life and that’s a special statement considering my wife and I have been to many places around the world! If your looking for a beautiful and big mountain house with dreamy views from 4,300 feet up and on top of the mountain, don’t look further, your dream vacation is right here! The house is in new condition and has the best of everything, from the large rooms and bathrooms , to the dreamy kitchen, family room and dining area. The view from the main floor and back deck is somewhat surreal, it’s almost hard to put into words. You won’t find a fireplace in many places like the one on the outside deck. It’s a stunning stacked stone fireplace that you would typically expect inside large well appointed homes. The inside and outside fireplace are both wood burning but they include a gas line to quickly lite your fire! The property the house is on the largest piece of land I’ve seen going up the mountain, about 3 acres, most mountain homes were on a piece of land big enough just to fit the house. While the 2 mile drive up and around the mountain is a bit steep, hilly and winding, we took it slow and actually enjoyed the beautiful houses and views along the route! If you love the outdoors like us, there are countless trails at all difficultly levels the see nature and absolutely beautiful waterfalls Sapphire is well known for. Obviously my wife and I loved this house and location, I do believe you’ll not go away disappointed and will say, this house met everything described in the VRBO summary and more! One last note, the house owner was extremely responsive, had all the answers to our inquiry’s and we felt like she tried to make sure everything was perfect for us! Great job! Thank you and hope to be back with our family!

What a wonderful place to spend Spring Break! House was immaculate, and we immediately felt at home. The kitchen was well equipped, and there was a great selection of games, puzzles, and books. Views were stunning and access to private trail head was amazing, never needed to move our car. Our kids were delighted to search for gnomes and fairies on the beautiful wooded property! Would highly recommend!
