Serene Lakefront Cabin with Dock/Kayaks/Canoe & Fire Pit!!

Beautiful remodeled mountain, lakefront home in Sapphire, NC. Includes amenities to Sapphire Valley Resort and location near 100s of miles of hiking trails. Cahsiers/Sapphire are is home to many beautiful waterfalls and all the great destinations of the western North Carolina mountains.

Wonderful lake-view, lower deck and fire pit, see photos!

*Recently upgraded high-speed internet! We got rid of the slow satellite link system and upgraded to recently offered fiber-optic based system that is true high-speed and a HUGE improvement!

Quiet, serene location... no motorized boat traffic on the lake and although minutes to Hwy 64, absolutely no road traffic noise can be heard. Just the birds, frogs and crickets :)

The property was amazing! We loved our stay and will be rebooking at this property in the future. The only note I have is that this property has a TON of stairs (107 to be exact) in the back of the house to access the lake, which the pictures don’t accurately reflect. If you have a condition that prevents you from doing a lot of stairs, this isn’t the right location for you.

This was perfect for our weekend trip. The only suggestion I would make is to let visitors know of the steps you have to walk down to the front door. With suitcases it was a struggle down and back up. We had a wonderful while we were there.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house in the mountains! The lake view was stunning, and we loved having the kayaks and firepit to enjoy the outdoors. The house was very clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent, and the whole experience was so relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommend!
