Annual Christmas Tree Trip
We had a great time in Sapphire Valley. We had a group of 9 ranging in age from 5 years old to 85 years old. We go up the weekend before Christmas each year to get our Christmas trees at Bear Valley. The house was a great place to play family games, enjoy the hot tub, and relax. We even had a great surprise on Friday morning - SNOW! What a memorable trip!!

Mountain Retreat
We love the Sapphire area and were anxious to return! This house is located in a perfect spot! Close to Fairfield Lake, the Recreation Center, restaurants, waterfalls and hikes! This property is comfortable, cozy and spacious. We enjoyed quiet evenings out by the fire pit and soaking in the hot tub! It did not disappoint.

Thanksgiving 2023
The house was beautiful and very well maintained. Our family of 12 had plenty of room and enjoyed all the amenities the home offered. The owners were easy to work with and made sure we had a great experience. Many wonderful family memories were made over this Thanksgiving holiday.

Relaxing retreat
What a great property! Lots of space for family to break off for games downstairs and a quiet puzzle upstairs. Didn’t try the hot tub but it looked great. Older parents were very comfortable in primary suite, while kids were on the main and mom and dad in the basement. Easy to get to Sapphire and Cashiers restaurants and explore the waterfalls. Would highly recommend!
