Summer Getaway
As previously noted, the view from the deck gives this house marks above other houses we've stayed at in the area. We always had a pleasant breeze and lots of wildlife to view including a bear just passing through. The accommodations were exactly as described and very comfortable. The host did a fantastic job of communicating with us prior to and during our stay. Besides adding some comfortable reclining chairs on the back deck, our group gives this property a 10/10. Hope to be back again!

Birthday and Wedding Anniversary Celebration.
This year was very special (my birthday and our 70th wedding anniversary). We have stayed in several places in the Sapphire area, but the view there was the most spectacular of all our stays there. I cannot imagine that view during the fall season. The unit is very comfortable in size and furnishings. The entrance would have been a bit of a challenge for me (my 88th birthday) but we had our kids there that took care of all the driving.

It was a wonderful home.....very comfortable. Beautiful view off the back deck just like pictures. Beautiful area if you enjoy mountain setting. Host was excellent to communicate with. Driveway is short and steep like he mentions in description. There isn't much of a front or side yard so to speak for dogs or kids. Setting is beautiful in a wonderful neighborhood.

Fabulous mountain rental!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Jason was so easy to deal with and very responsive. The house is super clean and well appointed. We loved the fireplace and the thoughtful supplies in the kitchen and bath. The beds were super comfy. The location is perfect-close to Cashiers and a ton of hiking opportunities. And the view is great. Can’t say enough good things-we will be back!!

Sweet and sour
Hot water tank failure one day into stay. While the owner did his diligence in trying to contact a plumber, the immediate solution to the problem, aside from apologies, was to have two elderly individuals drive 9.2 miles round-trip and take a shower in a community center at a ski resort, and to refund a pittance of the total sum invested in this trip. This felt like “sorry for the problem, sucks to be you, glad it isn’t me” type of response so often encountered in today’s world. At absolutely no point in time was the offer made to refund the balance of the charges if we wanted to depart and find alternative lodging. Nope. It was ‘here’s $## back, now you drive to some center we as property owners enjoy and take a shower if you feel the need. Oh, and by the way, if you ever decide to stay again, you can get a reduced price.’ Nice gesture that many hosts give to returning customers, but didn’t quite address the current situation. Did we find our stay at Whitewater Whispers to be a good value? One full day of yes, absolutely. Four days of no, not a chance. Am I overreacting? Try shutting hot water off at your house for three days and report back. If I were to offer a suggestion, find someone in the area qualified to perform a visual maintenance inspection a couple of times a year. Stuff happens, but being prepared to address the stuff, not at the expense of the customer, is part of the rental gig.

A Perfect Mountain Retreat
We loved this vacation home and its stunning views. It was a bit too cold to enjoy the deck a few of the days during our stay, but the bank of windows allowed us to still enjoy the beautiful views from inside. The decor was very pleasing. There was also plenty of storage available for us to organize our stuff, which often is not the case in many vacation rentals we've booked in the past. The community the house is in is also very nice, and with all the roads being paved, it gave us plenty of places to walk the dogs. We enjoyed this vacation home so much that we spent most of our time at the house. The owner was also an excellent host who provided us with all the information we needed while not being overwhelming. He also checked to see if we needed anything during our stay and let us know that we were free contact him for any reason that might came up. We'll definitely book this home the next time we want to stay in Sapphire / Cashiers area of the North Carolina mountains.

Autumn color
Enjoyed a romantic week in the mountain air and colorful splendor of Sapphire. Home is centrally located to many quaint communities, in a paved community of nice homes, and is well appointed and clean. Hosts provided responsive and friendly communication, and were a pleasure to work with. Rear of home boasts 180 degree view of valley and mountains beyond, beautiful from dawn until sunset.

We’ve stayed at several different properties in the area and this one is by far superior. This is definitely the only place we will book for future trips. The home is conveniently located, well maintained and very clean. The back deck and view are the best feature. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway.

Great base camp
The home is clean and comfortable. The view is lovely. The kitchen is really well stocked with cooking tools. It was chilly, so we didn’t take much advantage of the porch, but in warmer weather the choice of open, covered and screened areas would be ideal. We normally book more remote properties, but the neighborhood was quiet and when you’re in the home you don’t see the adjacent homes. We’ll probably visit again.

Convenient to restaurants
We enjoyed our stay. The house is clean & the views are great. The beds are very comfortable. It is about a 10 min drive to Cashiers & closet to some restaurants. The only problem we had was with the driveway. It is very steep & difficult with not a lot of room to maneuver out of.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Gillespie

Host profile image
Jason & Sharon have been coming to the NC mountains for years but purchased the Whitewater Whispers house in 2021. They have enjoyed spending more time in Sapphire and getting to know the area and using the amenities!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house when we walked through the door and saw the vast mountain views of the Horsepasture River Valley, and then walked out to the back deck and heard the shoals of the river from the deck. Combine that with the pools, skiing, golf, and mini golf at Sapphire Valley Resort, this has been a perfect mountain retreat for our family. We hope that it is for yours!

What makes this property unique

Look forward to preparing delectable home-cooked meals in the home’s clean, well-appointed kitchen, which comes fully equipped with all the essential cooking appliances, including granite countertops, dishwasher, and full size refrigerator. Enjoy family meals around the dining table or head out outside to the deck, where you can dine al fresco overlooking the mountains. Master and guest bedrooms both have king size beds, third bedroom has twin over full bunk bed and a twin bed. The master bathroom features double sinks, a large whirlpool tub, and a stand-alone shower. The second bathroom has a tub shower combination and double sinks. The well-appointed full-sized kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, granite countertops, a dishwasher and a full size refrigerator. The large den has a stacked stone gas fireplace. A large porch spans the backside of the house with access from the master, den and guest room, has a screened porch and is partially covered. Enjoy the gas grill, the swing and the view! Wifi, 3 smart TVs, cable, full sized washer & dryer, central heat & air. Perfect for couples and family getaways. Sleeps 6-8 comfortably.
