Cozy getaway

We had a small family get together and had a great time. The home was in a beautiful location on a quiet lake and was perfect for our group. It was clean and well kept, and was close by to lots of outdoor activities as well as restaurants and pubs. We enjoyed the fire pit and kayaks as well. Would definitely stay again

Wonderful hideaway

We loved Drew’s serene mountain house on the lake. My son caught brim and trout everyday on the creek. We played pickle ball and went kayaking at the resort, and enjoyed the fine dining and shopping in Cashiers. A wonderful house that is clean and cozy.

The perfect mountain lake cabin!

We were fortunate to be able to visit this beautiful property for two weeks. The cabin easily accommodated five adults and two small children. It was clean and updated and had an amazing view of the lake below. All of us caught fish, including the four and six year olds! We hope to visit again in the future!

A nice getaway in the mountains

Stayed a week with another couple. Kayaking, waterboarding (brought our own) and eating at several of the fine area restaurants. The evenings and days were cool and comfortable and the house was as advertised. Check in was easy, but it might be a good idea to print directions before you get there. Cell service is pretty sketchy near the cottage.

Second Visit - Great house!

This is our second time booking an extended stay at this house, and it is still one of our favorites! We spent 2 weeks at the house and it was plenty of space for our family of four and another family that spent part of the trip with us. The house is clean, well kept, and has everything we need. The dock is fantastic for fishing and swimming, and we love the access to the kayaks and canoe. The lake is quiet and great for kids to explore since there aren't motorized boats. You can't go wrong with this rental!

Gorgeous cabin on the lake!

The pictures don’t do this place justice! This location was gorgeous, and well maintained. Our family of 5 had more space than we knew what to do with. The kids loved going down to the lake, and the view was outstanding. Would come back again if we’re in the area!!

Scenic and serene cabin on a mountain lake.

Although access is easy, the property is secluded with a great lake view and access. The house is well maintained, clean and comfortable. Fall colors were gorgeous. Kayaking the lake was a bonus. Also close to a great hike on the Whiteside Mountain trail. Great restaurants in the area also. I would come back again.

Fantastic 3 weeks away...

We had a fantastic long getaway! The house is exactly as depicted in pictures and well stocked with essentials. The dock is one of the nicest around the lake, and we spent so much time swimming, fishing, and exploring the lake on the kayaks that were provided. Highly recommend!

Amazing Place!

Look no further if you are searching for the best place to stay on a lake in Sapphire Valley! This amazing place has it all - incredible and comfortable show-home accommodations, great views of Hogback Lake, canoe and two kayaks to enjoy the peaceful waters, fun fishing and swimming, and use of the Sapohire Valley facilities (pool, activities, golf, sauna, hot tubs, great restaurants, and family activities). Best vacation spot ever! Enjoy your stay here!

Perfect place to enjoy fall colors!

We and our friends found the house just perfect for a fall escape! The beds were comfy, the kitchen ideally outfitted, living area comfortable and the view to the river so pretty. During our week-long stay, we played golf, pickle ball, hiked Whiteside and Rainbow Falls, took a boat ride on Lake Toxaway, shopped in Highlands, and ate at great restaurants. Despite all that activity, it was a wonderfully relaxing time!
