Great little getaway!!

This was our first time in Sapphire. We were in town for a wedding in Cashiers and had a great weekend! The house was perfect for us. The owners checked on us each day that we were there. It was in a quiet little area and only about 15 minutes from Cashiers.

Cute house close to ski at sapphire Valley

We booked last minute and are glad we did. The house was great. The location was close to tubing and we also went into cashiers. The owners were extremely helpful with checking in, our ammenity cards and tips on where to go. We enjoyed some cozy family time by the fire. Great relaxing getaway!!!

Ideally located mountain home

My wife and I were looking for a vacation rental in the cashiers are to serve as a home base for our waterfall hiking trips. This listing fit the bill perfectly. The spatious and clean home with a great kitchen ended up being even moremimoryant since the weather did not cooperate with us on Friday. The owner was very communicative and helpful.

Beautiful Property

Peaceful Mountain is a beautiful home and Todd is a very responsive host. He took time to inform us of bear activity and safety rules before our arrival. We didn't see a bear on or around the property, but did see one walking on the golf course down the road in the evening. The driveway is crazy steep, which means no steps into the house! That was awesome for my soon-to-be 87 year old mom, who needs a walker and isn't very stable on her feet. Everything in the house is on 1 floor. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. The coffee maker is a drip coffee maker with its own filter. You don't need to bring filters. I've been spoiled by Keurig brewers, so re-learning how to avoid coffee grounds in my coffee was a challenge for me! Hints for the kitchen: buy a bag of ice for the freezer. There were 2 silicone ice cube makers in there. And, do not press the black button on the faucet sprayer!!! It will shut off the water, and you will be embarrassed calling Todd for help! Also, there were ants in the kitchen, so don't leave any food out. We had to throw away a bag of potato chips that was left out on the counter, and knock ants off of dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. There were ant traps out on the counters. We saw the Whitewater waterfall. It was beautiful!!! Definitely go down the stairs if you can. You get a closer, amazing view of the waterfall. We ate at The Orchard restaurant. The food was good, but the prices are ridiculous. $35 for Mushroom ravioli with a side salad, and that was one of the least expensive entrees. We were only there for a long weekend, so weren't able to use the Resort amenities. All-in-all, Peaceful Mountain is a beautiful home, Todd is an awesome host, and I do recommend this property!

Great location as well, plenty of good restaurants and outdoor activites within a 20 minute drive. I would definately recommend this rental.

Perfect Private Location

Todd and Barbie were the perfect hosts. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your vacation rental. It was so spacious and had everything we needed. We did encounter a visitor. But definitely our fault for leaving the car unlocked. For those visiting - don't leave any food in your car (including unopened bags of sunflower seeds)! Yes, bears can open doors! We actually got a good laugh out of it and a great story to tell. Thanks again for making our trip memorable.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this property for a girls getaway weekend. Comfortable and clean home. Lots of privacy as this home is at the end of the cul-de-sac in an established neighborhood. Lovely deck overlooking the back yard with wooded views, deer, and fresh springtime air. We would definitely love to return to this property in the future!

We loved this place. Very clean. We didn’t take family but this is a great place for kids. (3 bedrooms) Great driveway with no climbing. Nice large porch with grill and table/ chairs. Basketball goal/ puzzles and books. So relaxing. This is what we needed this weekend . Home setting was based on Family. Beautiful Home!!! Very relaxing! Will rent a gain for sure. Hostess stayed right on top things . Never bothered us but just a phone call away they were there if you needed them.

Good location; comfortable accommodations

Description and photos are very accurate. The house has a very comfortable, open design in the main living area (kitchen-diningroom-livingroom) and 3 nice bedrooms with very comfortable beds, and a large deck with a table and chairs for dining. (A couple lounge chairs might be a nice addition!) Everything was clean and in great condition. Todd checked in with us by text several times to make sure everything was fine, and he responded readily to texts or phone calls when we had questions during the week. Ingles supermarket is less than 15 minutes away. Very convenient. Two features to be aware of: 1) There is no view; you are surrounded by trees -- very private and peaceful except for the occasional noise of traffic on 64 which runs (out of sight) below the house. 2) This is definitely the steepest driveway I have ever seen, but our cars had no trouble with it. The first time down is quite a thrill! Would not want to try to get out when there's snow! Overall, the location was great for us to get out during the day to explore the area with hikes to many waterfalls and vistas, and we enjoyed relaxing mornings and evenings at the house with occasional visits from a bear and 3 deer.
