Aug 29, 2017 #### Fantastic vacation cottage in the NC mountains We greatly enjoyed our stay at Once Upon a Stream for a late summer vacation with old friends and to see the solar eclipse as it passed over the Sapphire Valley. The house is clean and well appointed, and the kitchen equipped with everything you need to cook/grill. We originally booked because the house seemed perfect for families with small children; we weren't disappointed. The owners have thoughtfully provided a pack n' play as well as a toddler-size inflatable bed. Our four-year-olds really enjoyed the bunkroom, which included a closet full of toys and games. We also spent a great deal of time on the deck enjoying the secluded forest view and listening to the creek running down the slope. The rental also included amenities passes to the Sapphire Valley resort and we had a blast at the outdoor swimming pool as well as boating and swimming in the nearby lake. Lastly, Travis, the owner, was a great resource for things to do both leading up to and and during our stay. With young kids of his own, he was able to provide a number of helpful tips and ideas for excursions that the whole family could enjoy. I would highly recommend Once Upon a Stream for families of all sizes looking for a relaxing mountain getaway. ##### John W. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie H.

Our young boys loved the lower level setup with the bunk beds and the foosball table, and most importantly they spent both days down exploring and playing in the creek. There was ample space to spread out when necessary so our little one could nap or so grandparents could relax. It really was a perfect setup for our family. Plus, it was close to multiple easy waterfall trails which we enjoyed as well. ##### Katie H. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### barbara h.

The accommodations were roomy and permitted 13 people to spread out in the house and on the decks. The activities at the nearby resort were numerous- something for everyone. The stream at the house was a magnet for the children who went “mining” for beautiful rocks. The owner, Travis, was most helpful and accommodating. It was easy to reach him when necessary. We would definitely want to return here- both to the house and the area. ##### Cecile S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evan M.

Location is incredible, close to a zillion hikes and an easy 15 minutes into Cashiers and all the wonderful restaurants. Travis was super helpful for restaurant recommendations and things to do that were appropriate for the ages of our kids. Also loved the access to Sapphire rec center. We swam, played mini golf, did the zipline, and rented boats multiple days. Would stay here again in an instant! ##### Evan M. Stayed 11 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna G.

We were a family of 10 including 3 children and we were very comfortable in the space. The main area has a beautiful view of the mountains, the kitchen is well equipped and open and the downstairs area was perfect for playtime. Very nice home and host. ##### Anna G.

Owners are exceptionally responsive and available to assist throughout the stay. Easy access to Cashier’s, Highlands, Gorges State Park, and horseback riding. Stream out back kept the kids busy rock hunting. Decks great for just enjoying the color explosion in the fall. ##### Denise B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary M.

It was the perfect getaway. The house was nestled in the woods. We had enough space for everyone to have their privacy and gather. We enjoyed the balconies, fire pit, and the stream. The owner was always responded to us by phone and text, and problems we had were taken care of immediately. The Sapphire resort amenities were a big plus. Thank you! ##### Margaret S.
