About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Luxurious Mountain Retreat with Amenities. Clean & Spacious, Deck, Views, Stream

Nestled in the beautiful North Carolina mountains among the community of Holly Forest, this expansive retreat is located among serene woods, complete with a stream and small waterfall running alongside the property. Watch the wildlife surrounding you, including the hummingbirds in the summer, song birds all season long, and deer. Hike the backyard down to the rippling stream, especially after a rainfall!

The stars are breathtaking at night, especially the view from the back deck. Get used to being immersed in nature and wildlife at all times. There's a beautiful and accessible stream with a small waterfall that runs alongside our property, which we've seen deer take refreshing drinks from!

When you stay at our Luxurious Mountain Retreat, you are far enough away from the noise to feel secluded with privacy, and just a short drive from local shops, restaurants, community events and exciting activities. Our guests enjoy amenities provided by the Sapphire Valley Resort, and nearby excursions such as white water rafting, tubing, and skiing; it's the perfect mountain getaway for any type of vacation.

Less than 15 minutes to Whitewater Falls and Gorges National Park, a stay at our home is perfect for visiting hiking trails, along with Horseback Riding, Sapphire Valley Golf & Tennis, shopping & local cuisine. Just 5 minutes from Cashiers, 20 minutes from Highlands, and 1 hour from Asheville. Local grocery store Ingles is nearby for gourmet and basic food shopping needs. This is the ultimate secluded mountain retreat for any occasion.

The house was great and the owner was very responsive and nice. We would have liked a bit more of an open layout and we wished their was more room in the kitchen/sitting area next to it. But other than that the house was great.

Great mountain

Huge property - way up in mountains and woods. Winding road up to property a little difficult to navigate with large van we had. Less then 10 min to Sapphire National golf course. 15 min into Cashiers. House had a lot of rooms & spaces downstairs & up. Very clean. Kitchen well stocked. Quiet at night.

Wonderful Escape

We had a delightful 3-day family getaway weekend at this property. The house is spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. As pictured, the upstairs has a open sitting area with a great view of the outdoors. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped. Downstairs offers a pool table, a table for games or puzzles, a reading spot, and another kitchen area! The property owner, Liz, could not have been nicer or more responsive to all my questions. She genuinely wants her guests to have a nice stay. (Thanks, Liz!) One could have a great time just staying at the house, but Sapphire is a great place to visit. If interested, the owners will arrange for you to get a pass to the Sapphire Valley Resort. (You just have to pay the resort a small fee of $2/day/person - 3 day minimum). The resort offers extra amenities including a nice little gym and access to Fairfail Lake which was great for paddle boarding along with other boating options. For eats, Table 64 was phenomenal right in town. You can also take a short drive to Cashiers for other options. Between the beauty of Sapphire, the elegance of the house, and the friendliness of the owner, this is a great place to stay and we would definitely stay here again!

Over-the-top Master Bedroom

This is a very large house with all the kitchen amenities anyone could ever want. We had 4 adult couples and an adult single in our party. The Over-the-top main Master Bedroom compared to the other bedrooms made for vastly different bedroom experiences for our group. The main master had a king bed, his and hers closets, and his and hers bathrooms, all in a rather large room. This bedroom was far superior to the others (King, Queen, Queen, and Twin), particularly the bedroom with the small twin beds. Also, 2 bedrooms had to share a bathroom, while the Main Master had 2 bathrooms. Everything else about the house is very nice including the large dining room, pool table, huge deck space, and very large great room. The area is very quiet, except for the bear who visited after a cookout using the outdoor grill. All in all, a very nice vacation experience in spite of the disparity in bedrooms.

Sumner fun

The house is spacious and allow us to spread out. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to easily accommodate our 8 adults and 2 children. The deck was good for early morning coffee. The downstairs great room was perfect for family gathering and board games. The area is close enough to Cashiers and a Ingles food store is nearby. The time of year was good with highs in the mid 70s

Difficulty in getting to property as GPS systems were baffled several times. Hard to read directions on phones and navigate roads at the same time..

New Years Eve

Overall very nice. Love the access to area offerings. Adequate bedrooms. The furniture arrangement for a large group seemed awkward. We had 10 people and rooms with TVs would not accommodate all of us. Loved the pool table and downstairs kitchen. Master bedroom was especially spacious. Would have liked a seating area in that room. Beautiful views and surroundings. Internet and phone service was virtually nonexistent.

Great place for family vacation!

This is a beautiful house with comfortable beds and luxury linens. The mountain views are spectacular!!!The house was very generously appointed and the kitchen had everything a cook could want--except a potato masher! The owner did an incredible job of answering our questions and giving us information about the house. We loved our stay here. However, the paved roads are curvy and steep getting to the house, not sure if we all could have made it if it had snowed! But it would have been beautiful!!! We had a visit one night by a black bear...very exciting!!! This was an amazing place to make Thanksgiving memories!! Thank you, Liz!
