Don't miss the opportunity to stay here if given the chance! I've stayed in many homes through the years and I'd rank this one right at the top. Well stocked, peaceful setting, great amenities! Just a wonderful home with lot's of space and the back decks are so peaceful. Not to mention that the host had great communication throughout. Lord willing we will definitely be back!!

Gorgeous place and so much to do in, and outside the house!
Celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary with our adult children and son’s dog. This house has it all! We had so much fun bringing back memories playing pac-man and arcade games. The virtual reality video game had us all laughing like crazy! The porch looking out over the creek in the back was very peaceful. We really appreciated the written out directions for the places to hike as wifi when you are driving can be in and out. Made it to several of the recommended hikes and restaurants. Very friendly town and people. We will need to come back to see more!

Great Stay in Sapphire Valley!
We had a fabulous time at the Crystal Creek Arcade House. The house was as described--beds were super comfortable, the backyard creek was a lot of fun for our kids, and the arcade room was a HUGE hit for our young gamer (and his dad). The location of the house was great--we spent the week exploring both the Cashiers/Highlands side and the Toxaway/Brevard side of the greater area so was perfect to be in the middle. The drive to Cashiers felt quick. We would definitely stay again!

Sapphire vacation
We had a great week in Sapphire. The house was lovely and comfortable. It was clean and well equipped. The kids were happy to stay in with the steam in the back and the games inside! We’d love to revisit again one day.

A Fantastic Getaway
This was an absolutely beautiful home. It was exactly as advertised. If anything the photos don't quite do it justice. It was also very well equipped. You could not ask for better hosts than Evans & Elise. Right after checking in we received a message asking if all was satisfactory and letting us know they were ready to take care of anything that we needed. It was a perfect stay.

Fun family stay
The view and sounds of the stream from the back porch kept us outside most of the time, but when we did come in, we took a trip down memory lane playing Mrs Pac-Man. Ping pong, corn hole, and a DVD collection kept the whole family entertained at night. The house is comfortable for a family and has a large kitchen that accommodates multiple cooks.

Weekend getaway
Property was amazing. We went to the area to enjoy skiing, hiking & fishing but ended up spending just as much time relaxing at the house and hanging out by the creek. The kids spent hours playing out back and the arcade room was a huge hit as well. Our Labrador thought he was in heaven roaming through the creek!! Will definitely be back. Owners very quick with info and this home was so much better than we expected.

Relaxing for the weekend
The property was very nice. It had everything that was stated. We went up for a relaxing weekend. We loved the top porch because it was completely screened in and we didn't have to worry about our dog wondering off. The game room was awesome and we loved the old game console. The owners were great to work with. They made sure we had everything we needed. We hope to visit there again.

Birthday getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is perfect. Only thing we wished would have been different was the parking. My crew was all adults and parking multiple vehicles would have been more pleasant if the parking area was larger. Otherwise, everything was just as it was posted for review. We'd stay again for sure! :)

Perfect Cashiers/Sapphire Home
We love the Cashiers/Sapphire Valley area because it is close enough to Florida to drive in one day, has great access to amenities for the kids, and is a close enough drive to all the other outdoor and indoor activities in western N.C. This house was one of the best. Easy to get to. Plenty of wildlife like birds, deer, bears, and turkeys. Safe, clean, with access to a creek for the kids. They also enjoyed the arcade room and the ping pong table. Can't say enough good things about the home.

Great location
We had a great time and enjoyed all of the arcade games. Great movie collection. We spent a lot of time in the backyard enjoying a fire and exploring the stream. We visited Cashiers and Highlands and went into Asheville for the day. Hiked Whiteside mountain and went to the Silver Run falls. The heater on the porch was a bonus. Tim was extremely responsive and a excellent host.

"The Honey Hole"
This house was the "Bee's Knees" hence we called it "The Honey Hole". It was perfect in every way but the backyard and decks make this house. The creeks, multiple sitting areas and fire pits are dreamy. We never wanted to leave. The kitchen was well stocked for staying home and cooking. The indoor activities had something for everyone all the time. This house is close to all the hiking trails, shopping and restaurants while still being secluded and private. We can't wait to go back again.

Fun House
The Arcade house is a great house for kids, old and young. Our kids ranged from 6 to 77 and all of us loved the various games in the arcade room! The kitchen area is a nice size and filled with light. We made the top porch our morning and evening gathering space. Although the main bedrooms are upstairs, the couch bed down stairs was fun for the kids to use. We particularly enjoyed the amenities provided with this rental at the near by Sapphire Club where there are pools, boats and all manner of golfing. We recommend this rental to any young family. Sapphire Valley is an outstanding area to visit.

Perfect Family Getaway!
Our family had a blast staying at the Crystal Creek Arcade House! The house was situated in a quiet neighborhood and was well furnished with everything you would need. Tim was a great host - so helpful with answering questions and giving recommendations on places to eat and things to do. Our grandsons and son-in-law especially loved the arcade room, especially Pac-man, the Nintendo games, and the Golden Tee. Everyone enjoyed ping pong, the covered porches, cornhole, and s'mores at the fire pit. The grandsons loved racing rubber ducks and exploring the creeks. Our daughter and family also enjoyed many of the Sapphire Valley Resort amenities like putt putt golf and the gem mining (grandsons did this 3 times!) as well as fishing and hiking at Fairfield Lake. Something for everyone - a perfect family getaway!

Amazing Arcade House !!
This property exceeded or expectations ! The owners Evans and Elise were very responsive and gave great details to make our arrival a breeze. They also provided a lot of excellent information on hiking spots and restaurants. The home was just perfect. It was nice to have a large den area and the large arcade room to spend time in. These rooms are separated by a very spacious kitchen. There was never a dull moment during our stay with so many things to do at this house. There is a really nice porch that leads out to a peaceful stream area in the back. There is also a fire pit and seating around it. This made a great ending to a long day making s’mores and listening to the stream. This will definitely be a place our family will be visiting again. You will not be disappointed if you choose this home .
