We had a wonderful stay at this mountain home. It's a beautiful home and extremely well stocked with supplies. The yard is very spacious and the trail down to the river is great hike for all family members. Our dog especially enjoyed it. You could not ask for a better host than Todd. We had just a couple questions for him and his responses were instantaneous and helpful.

Laid-back pleasure

This house certainly met our needs. We appreciated the comfy living room, with plenty of room for the six of us. The kitchen was extremely well-equipped. This was great, because we ate many of our meals at home. We are forever grateful for the obvious love of dogs by the owner. We did bring throws to cover all the living room furniture and lessen any dog hair problems. The outdoor gas grill was superb. The dining room table was large, and we used it for family dinners and game time. The amenities cards were so affordable, and we loved the rec center and Red Bird Golf. Very convenient location! Many thanks to Todd for providing his super comfortable home!

Sheet/towel layout and lighting

It would have been nice to have the sheets and towels folded on the bed up check-in. Overall, the house needs more and brighter light options, especially in the main room. A couple of floor lamps with dimming capability would have been very appreciated. One in the corner of the master would have been nice.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Mountain Fresh! Todd is a wonderfully responsive host. The house is spacious and comfortable with special care given to all cleaning aspects. Internet worked perfectly. Even though we didn’t plan to need it, the office space came in very handy for a few hours. We had perfect early fall weather that was the icing on the cake of a great weekend!

Great location, the cabin had everything we needed and then some. My family enjoyed it immensely, and Todd was very responsive and got things resolved immediately. I would advise to update your Guide as follows: the Amenities fee is now $5/day and there is no minimum, and the WIFI codes are wrong. I called Todd and he gave me the correct codes on the call. BTW I found the thermostat somewhat schizophrenic, I would set it to 72 and before I knew it, it went to 69. I couldn't break the code! All in all, I give it 5 stars.

Great Mountain House

We had a great time and stay. I stayed with my wife, three children, and a nanny. There was plenty of room for all of us, and everything was as described. The property is located in Sapphire, NC, and was very close to our other friends in the area too. We had a wonderful stay and would stay again in the future. I recommend this home to anyone looking for a long weekend in the mountains. Thank you.

Perfect

We really enjoyed this home and location. I chose it mostly because it had access (for a small fee) to the Sapphire Valley Community Center and Fairfield Lake, both if which were awesome to use. The house itself was immaculate and very well equipped. I really liked access to the extra towels and blankets if needed, which we did not, but some places only give you the bare minimum. The kitchen had everything needed to make any meals. The beds were comfortable and I liked that there were 3 bathrooms. The huge sofa meant everyone could enjoy being together in the evenings. Todd was very responsive to messages. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Great stay in Sapphire!

This was our first stay at this property. We have stayed at several other properties in the Highlands and Cashiers areas in the past. We were impressed by this property, and we will certainly plan to return in the future. The house has everything you need in terms of towels, linens, cookware, laundry, etc. It is very clean. It is also very conveniently located to the grocery store and other shops, which are about 10 minutes away. If you have a chance to book a reservation at Canyon kitchen, which we did, this is the closest property we have ever stayed to that restaurant and spa. The property also comes with access to the community center, which includes a pool, a gym, access to water activities, etc. My husband enjoyed a morning swim every day for the low price of $2.00. The photos of the home are accurate. It has a very grand downstairs area with an open kitchen leading out into a large great room which leads out to the deck. There is a master with attached bath on the main, as well as a second bedroom and bathroom on the main. There is a third bathroom and third bedroom upstairs. For folks like us who unfortunately had to work a lot during our “vacation,” I feel it is important to note that the Internet works very well, as does cell service. We had consistent Internet and cell service the entire time. Communication with the owner was excellent from the time of booking through the time we arrived. Overall, I would recommend this property.
