Serene Lakefront Cabin with Dock/Kayaks/Canoe & New Fire Pit!!

Beautiful remodeled mountain, lakefront home in Sapphire, NC. Includes amenities to Sapphire Valley Resort and location near 100s of miles of hiking trails. Cahsiers/Sapphire are is home to many beautiful waterfalls and all the great destinations of western North Carolina mountains.

Quiet, serene location... no motorized boat traffic on the lake and although minutes to Hwy 64, absolutely no road traffic noise can be heard. Just the birds, frogs and crickets :)

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

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!

Lovely mountain lake home!
We loved renting this cozy mountain home, perfectly set up for our human and furry family! Everything is so fresh and clean, we appreciated the soaps and spices on hand. It's nice to have some empty cabinet space to store things, as well. We had a fantastic time jumping off the dock (deep at the end!), and using the canoes and kayaks with life vests provided.It was our boys first time in a canoe, and it was the perfect place to start. The water was calm, we had fun watching for underwater trees and limbs. We saw and heard hawks, doe and fawn, and a heron. All from the yard or lake! We hiked Rainbow Falls and Silver Run Falls (the latter had a great swimming hole, but COLD!), ate at Whiteside Brewing and Crossroads Custard, went to the Sapphire Valley Resort (Drew helped us get the guest passes for a minimal fee, on an as used basis) and picnicked on the Green. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and Drew was very helpful answering questions beforehand and during our stay. We couldn't be more pleased!

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!

Location is great - house is just ok
The location was great. It only took about 10 min to get to Cashiers. My kids loved fishing off the dock and using the kayaks and canoe. The house was disappointing. There were several doors that didn’t latch and therefore couldn’t be locked for privacy. The master was one, plus there is a sliding barn door from dining area into master so privacy is limited. The blinds on the master windows are light fingering so if you are sensitive to light, you’re not going to be able to sleep in. Also, there is a door to the exterior from the master with paned windows and no window treatment on that. The master bathtub is very old and very slick. The shower curtain liner had mold on it and there were several light bulbs burned out around the house. We only stayed 2 nights so we just dealt with it , but it would have been really frustrating had we planned to stay longer.

Family friend for active family
We enjoyed our stay by the lake. We had a wide range of ages and everyone had something to do. I will say that there are a lot of steps leading down to the lake and able and active people would have no problem going down and up, but small children and older adults may decide not to make the decent down as often. You don’t have to go far to find something to do, we hiked, went to the indoor pool, went to the Whiteside Brewery which has a field the kids can play in. We even spent an entire day at the house, went out on the Kayaks, grilled, the kids enjoyed the whole loft area and made it into a stage and put on a performance. Great stay and super relaxing. Drew answered all my questions beforehand and check in and out was a breeze.

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!!

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!

AN AMAZING!! peaceful retreat
WOW! WOW! The Lake - the views - the area - the quiet - the peacefulness ! If you are looking for a beautiful well done space in the heart of the mountains tucked in beside a beautiful mountain lake - rent this property! It was everything and more ! So close to Cashiers and Lake Toxaway and things to do right close at hand as well. Drew was perfect with food and activity recommendations but to be honest you won't want to leave the house and decks, dock and porches - so amazing ! book it!

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.

Best time ever!
We had the best quality family time with our two sons.....we spent time just kayaking and fishing for hours and spent time around the fire pit just talking....everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom so there was plenty of privacy. Check in/out was very easy. The house and property looks exactly as it does in the pictures. Everyone is already thinking about the next time we might be able to come back again!! Thank you so much...

We had great time with our friends at this house. The stairs to dock will give you great workout (we named the house Stair master) but we all got used to it after 2 days. We took advantage of the canoes, fished of the dock and had fires in the fire pit. This house has all you need.

Beautiful vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our restful yet adventurous stay at this property. The house is just beautiful. It was clean and comfortable and even a little luxurious. The bed in the master bedroom was AMAZING. It was so fun to kayak off the dock, go on adventures in Gorges State Park and hike to nearby waterfalls (the hike back up from Glen Falls is no joke!). We went to Mica's, Cornacopia, Slabtown Pizza and a pub (can't remember name) in Cashiers and Sapphire and had great meals. Relaxing, fun and memorable family time. Thank you.
