Peaceful Mountain at Sapphire Valley
Well, my husband and I have stayed there on and off for the last six months for local work, so we know the place well. Sadly, our project has come to an end, so our most recent stay will be our last for work. BUT, we love everything about Todd and Barbie and the house, and we will be back for fun hiking weekends. Hiking, waterfalls, everything nearby. It's the best place we've stayed in the area. Private, squeaky clean, big deck, large dining room table for big meals or spreading out the paperwork, GREAT internet connection and TV options. We'll definitely be back on our own - we feel so comfortable there in every way. I could not recommend any higher - would give it a "10" if I could. Todd and Barbie also bent over backwards to help us with a couple of last-minute schedule changes. Such honest and thoughtful hosts. Thanks Todd and Barbie for EVERYTHING over the last few months. We love you guys!

Sapphire Daze - an amazing view, with a cottage!
Beautiful view and plenty of room for our family. Kerry responded quickly to my questions and gave clear directions. I’m glad she recommended to stay on paved roads since we arrived at night and alternate routes take you down gravel roads. Convenient location for our stay to enjoy snow tubing and amenities at the Sapphire Valley Community Center.

Riverfront Fishing Cabin
This house was super comfortable, and the location is ideal for enjoying the Tuckasegee river centrally located close to Sylva and Dillsboro. The kitchen is updated with all the amenities. The two bedrooms are comfortable and the porch is well done and very relaxing. We also enjoyed bonfires at night in the adjacent fire pit

Beautiful Trillium home - club amenities available
Place and the host were amazing! :) Trillium is a special area and this house was special. Jennifer was fantastic and super helpful!

Scotchland. Wood burning fireplace. 5 min to town
Wonderful home. Would definitely stay again.

Modern Lakefront Cabin: Access to Resort Amenities
Wonderful trip in an incredible location! The house was so welcoming and situated on the most peaceful lake. We hope to be back soon! Highly recommend - and was especially accommodating traveling with three young children.

Lake front with private dock & gorgeous views!
Beautiful, secluded location. Perfect ti get away from it all. Make sure you bring anything you need with you, the closest town is 25 min away. Great hiking nearby.

Lake Junaluska Golf Course | Sleeps 18 | Firepit
We have stayed as a team for two retreat years now. We will rent it again next year hopefully! It’s a great property!

Quilted Corner-C
Great location - a very short walk to the lakeside trail. We had everything we needed for our weekend stay. Alice and Philip were very responsive.

Cozy Mountain Hideaway
Very clean, nice comfortable beds super clean bathroom, well stocked kitchen!!! don’t buy coffee or sugar. It’s already there. Very responsive host.

Lovely apartment in Cashiers, Sapphire Valley!
We loved our stay in Sapphire Valley! Our place was perfect, private and close to all amenities and restaurants. We will definitely come back. Sarah was amazing. Always responded quickly to any question we had.

Starstorm Mountain Apartment-Pet Friendly
This is a great spot for a family of four. The beds were comfortable. The space was big enough to spread out a little bit. The view from the deck is great as well. If you don't mind being 30 minutes away, this is a great place to stay while visiting Asheville. It's about an hour from Looking Glass Falls too. It's also a beautiful drive to the Tail of the Dragon from here. If you're coming from Raleigh this makes for a much shorter drive home after spending a day driving near the Dragon.

Falling Waters:Cascading Waterfall Views from deck
Great place! Very private you have a direct view of the falls. Very nice stocked kitchen, the beds were very comfortable, and very well furnished! We will definitely go back!

NEW! Sapphire Hilltop Cozy Condo
If you're looking for a condo in the Sapphire Valley Resort don't hesitate to book Heather's place! It was fully stocked with everything we needed and honestly the cleanest Airbnb we've ever stayed at!!! It was a super easy check in/out process, the decor was super charming, beds were so comfy, and Heather had really high quality shower/kitchen supplies. We were pleasantly surprised with all the extra touches! In addition to this we also really enjoyed the pool, lake, playground, and arcade. It was the perfect family getaway!

Beautiful Cozy Mountain Retreat
By far the best airbnb host we’ve ever had super fast to respond to questions and the accommodations were better than described. Beds were absolutely marvelous woke up every morning feeling better than new. This airbnb is a nature lovers dream. Highly recommend Sandy and the unit

The Bond "0" Condo
Our family of four had an incredible stay at this cozy Airbnb! The views of the snow-covered mountains were absolutely stunning and made for a perfect backdrop throughout our stay. Our family had plenty of space to relax and unwind. The kids loved the Murphy bed! We especially loved gathering around the fireplace, with plenty of wood provided to keep us warm and toasty. Everything was just perfect, and we’d definitely love to stay again in the future!

Updated Cottage at Lake Junaluska Golf Course!
This is our third stay. We love coming here. Love the house and location. Always pristine clean and quick to respond if anything comes up. Near all our favorite things to do.

Renovated in Highlands - 1M to downtown Highlands
Loved our time here! Convenient to shopping, great restaurants and many hiking trails. My family of four was very comfortable in this home - will definitely come back!

Cottage at Casuarina Lodge - Luxury, Pet Friendly
We will definitely be back. The hosts really care about your stay and make sure everything goes flawlessly.

Hike & Boat: Cozy Bear Lake Cottage!
Bear Lake is beautiful and isolated. Top notch staff, beautiful spaces and good amenities. The house was in fantastic shape and was everything advertised. The back porch is a fantastic place to hang out and enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains on the other side of the lake. A few things to consider - the road to the house is curvy and very steep. Also, cell service is very poor, so make sure to set your GPS and copy a picture with the door code before leaving the service areas.

Storybook cottage on stream- perfect for families!
We had a wonderful few days at this mountain cottage. The house is even better than the pictures suggest. It was extremely comfortable and well decorated. Travis was very responsive when I contacted him with questions . All in all an excellent house to rent. Thank you Travis

Laurel Ridge Cottage at Lake Toxaway
This home was exactly as described. We especially loved the outdoor space!! The location was superb, and the view was beautiful! We would definitely rent this home again!!

Lake Junaluska Historic Cottage
Brian, David and I will defiantly come back to stay again. We love Lake Junaluska and your location is perfect for easily jumping over to downtown Waynesville, the lake or Maggie Valley. As I mentioned in our conversation, you guys did an amazing job with the renovation bringing this sweet little house back to something very special. We felt very much at home instantly and the directions you provided made the check in and out seamless. The house was very clean and I very much appreciated the little touches of items provided in the kitchen. I would also note, the little notes on how to use the fireplace and other items were tastefully done and left no room for questions. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and we will look forward to our next stay. Holly and David C.

Romantic Cottage overlooking Lake Laurel
Allison was very responsive and helpful with a short notice booking. Everything was as shown in the listing. Kitchen was well equipped and shower was great.
