I would say the only drawback was all the stairs and steps. We are 75, making it difficult to go up and down. The other problem was the lack of lighting. Each room but the master bathroom were dark.

This is the perfect house for three families on a mountain vacation. Each floor has a king bed and bath allowing each family to have space when needed. Magnificent panoramic views.

We absolutely loved our stay at Magnificent Mountain Views. The pictures are beautiful, but they honestly do not do this property justice. From the moment we arrived, we were taken by just how beautiful the home, setting, and especially the mountain views are. It is one of those places that is simply so much better in person.The house was beautiful, comfortable, extremely well maintained, and had everything we needed. We especially loved spending time outside just enjoying the peaceful setting and those incredible long-range mountain views. It was the kind of place where you could sit for hours and never get tired of the scenery.Heather was also a wonderful host and made the entire experience so easy. She was warm, welcoming, responsive, and genuinely a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. You could tell that she truly wanted us to enjoy both her home and our time in the mountains, and we certainly did.The location was perfect for exploring Sapphire, Cashiers, Lake Glenville, and the surrounding area, but one of our favorite parts of the trip was simply coming back to the house and enjoying the beauty and peacefulness of the property.We have stayed in many wonderful places over the years, and this is definitely one we will remember. If you are considering Magnificent Mountain Views, don’t hesitate—the pictures really cannot capture how special it is. We would happily stay here again and cannot recommend both the property and Heather highly enough!

Everything about this home was amazing, from the location, to the cleanliness, to the comfiness, to the conveniences, to the nicely appointed rooms and bathrooms, to the absolutely incredible 360 views! We enjoyed every morning watching the sunrise and every evening watching the sunset! And the owner was very responsive to one minor issue we had with needing more towels. We will definitely be back!

Great place for a long weekend to hang out with friends. Plenty of space for cards/gaming. Amenities were awesome. Sleeping 8 adults was no problem. Even had a grocery store fairly close. Fire pit was the biggest hit. Looking to go back again next year

We had a wonderful time! House was well appointed and Heather was super kind! Unfortunately the house fireplace didn’t work which was unfortunate, but the outside fireplace was amazing! Great outdoor seating! You could really settle in there and enjoy the property if you didn’t want to go into town. House was clean and that’s a priority to me. Pantry has coffee and planet of essentials. Two areas inside to spread out if you had a large group. Felt secluded but wasn’t which we liked. Would recommend to others!

Always a pleasure

We've stayed at this lovely home, which we affectionately call "Bear Mountain House," several times and it never disappoints. The views are breathtaking, truly. The space is the house is fantastic, especially the two living areas. Every time we've stayed we've seen bears (from afar!), and they are a highlight. Heather is delightful to work with, and very accommodating. She texted us as soon as the house was ready and let us check in a few hours early, which was greatly appreciated. If you are looking for a genuinely unique getaway for your family, this is it. One caution: You will need AWD in the winter as the road up is a little steep.

This most beautiful mountain home is rivaled only by the spectacular views it offers. The 360 view atop the mountain is unmatched by any mountain home I have previously rented. The perfect complement to the view was the peace. I believe it was Henry David Thoreau who said, "silence is the universal refuge." I can think of no better words to describe the experience my family and I had while spending a few days in this truly remarkable sanctuary. The host was responsive and provided helpful information to make our stay even better. We hope to have the opportunity to return to this great property again.
