May 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House and a Great View This is a beautiful house in a gorgeous location that feels remote and secluded. The view is the main attraction, but the size of the house was also great since we had a big group. Each of our six couples had their own room and their was plenty of space for all of us. We spent most of our time on the deck, in the family room or around the dining table. We spent a lot of time enjoying the view, but also found a good hike about a mile from the house. You can drive to the Deep Gap Trailhead and hike north into the Panthertown trail system. This was a late May trip so the mountains were lush with the bright green of new leaves and plenty of blooming mountain laurel and dogwood. We were also thrilled to have several bear sightings as we drove up from Sapphire to the house. ##### Bruce T. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pam M. May 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mattresses Everything about this property is wonderful with one exception. All of the mattresses need to be replaced. The only good mattresses are the two queen's in the bedroom on the lower level at the end of the hall. We had a small private family wedding and the Bride and Groom took the master bedroom. Their mattress was so bad, they slept on the floor. Other than the mattress issue we could not have asked for a better more beautiful place to stay. ##### Pam M. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James S. Sep 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic, but…… This is great home, well built and appointed with a beautiful view. Everything was great for our party of 12 college friends that have been convening for almost 60 years. We did encounter a couple of issues: there are several ADA issues that need to be addressed: there is no hand rail on either of the front entryway steps (after the first fall, we made sure there was always an extra hand to hold when entering or exiting); none of the showers had grab bars, even adding them to half the baths would greatly improve safety. We were disappointed that the beautiful big grill had only two functioning burners and noted that the rugs in the room above the garage where we stayed were curling at the corners and almost caused a spill on several occasions. Last but not least, the Book of house rules, explanations, etc. was highly Asheville-centric with little to say about Cashiers-Highlands environs (which was why we selected this Home in the first place) These suggestions are offered in light of our overall delight with our stay in the spirit of improving the next patrons stay. ##### James S.

First the Good!.....Beautiful home on probably the most picturesque lot in the neighborhood. Nestled at the top of a valley overlooking a beautiful lake with waterfall off to the side. Absolutely gorgeous . The house is comfortably furnished with wonderful beds/bedding and lovely mountain inspired furniture. The kitchen is completely stocked with everything you could require. The fireplaces are amazing and the hot tub worked great and was very clean. The not so good..... The Internet is unreliable at best despite the owners note saying they had upgraded it recently. There is NO cable or satellite TV offered to renters. If you want to watch anything on TV you have to log into your own streaming services if you have them. If you don't you were out of luck. Cell service was not great for us. The Internet went out every 15 minutes or so while we were streaming something to watch. Most nights we just gave up. Not great if you have kids that need some downtime. There is a whole house speaker system that the owners have requested that you not use so no music either. A note in the description to bring your own speaker would be helpful. We drove an hour to the nearest Walmart to buy one. There were only 2! bath towels in each bathroom for a full week stay. This seems ridiculous to me. They were lots of hot tub towels that we ended up using for our showers. There was a half a roll of toilet paper in the master bathroom. Thankfully we brought our own starter supply but I would think a few spare rolls in the master would be appreciated. We received an email 2 days before arriving in Dec. saying there was a problem with local suppliers of firewood so they couldn't guarantee we would have any at the property. I called the first company that came up online and arranged for delivery the day we arrived. There was 1 dish towel in the kitchen. They were candleholders but no usable candles. The main window in the family room with the biggest view to the valley had a window covering that was broken in the half down position so we couldn't really enjoy the view. We replaced the battery in the remote to open it but that didn't work. There was no iPad with information as indicated in the welcome email (there was a house book) and we never were able to log in to the guest portal. Thankfully we have rented in the area many times. Overall fabulous but a little more effort from the management company would go a long way. ##### Beverly B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandy D.

The view is absolutely incredible, and the short walk to the falls was a great little adventure! The house provided all appliances we needed to have a fire going most of the weekend, grill and cook our meals, and entertain ourselves! The hot tub and property are immaculately maintained, and the space is very high quality and so so lovely! We would absolutely be back, and we would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy quality time with a bigger crowd!! ##### Emily B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer R.

We are a big family and always end up making multiple trips to the store for essentials, this house left us wanting and needing for nothing! Do yourself a favor and book it!! ##### Jennifer R.

We love to cook and found the kitchen equipped for all our needs, including a Vitamix, coffee grinder, and other small appliances The view of mountains, a lake, and a waterfall were beyond our expectations. The spaciousness of this beautiful home provided comfort and privacy for each couple as well as ample scenic space for gathering and enjoying each other’s company. Our last evening we booked Chef Santiago Vargas to cater our dinner. Highly recommend him and his assistant Ana. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa K.

Jul 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Property One of the finest houses I’ve ever rented with the single most extraordinary view from the back deck. It honestly looks like a green screen. This house was perfect for our three families traveling together with a selection of teens and elementary-aged kids. Plenty of getaway spaces, like the screened-in porch with a large fire place and comfortable couches, and the screened-in porch off the master bedroom and the game room over the garage and the spacious library with a giant desk and comfortable couch. Kitchen was fully equipped and lovely. We’d be hard-pressed to find something that needed improvement there. ##### Anna B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S.
