Wonderful property!!

We loved staying at the property on the lake and would definitely rebook! The cottage was very clean, spacious for what we needed, and nearby the towns for more fun. We also met the property owner and he was lovely and very helpful. Perfect place for smaller groups or just a couple!

Quaint quiet getaway

This place needs air conditioning. I wish the beach access in front of it was clean but you can't swim in it. Too much seaweed and lilliepads. There is a small beach within walking distance you can go to.if you're looking for a place to relax, it definitely does that.

Perfect family getaway

What a pleasure it was to stay in this cabin on lake Sapphire. The view was amazing and the home was cozy and clean. With a beautiful veranda room, perfect for family dinner, we got everything we hoped for. A fire pit for roasting marshmallows and fishing from the dock. Awesome family vacation!

Sapphire Lake

Nice cottage on the lake. Comfortable. Nice/helpful owner who lives next door. Kayaks are a great feature. Good location. Quiet but not too far from shopping, etc. Was able to catch 6 fish off the dock. There is a little beach around the corner that provides swimming access. People in the area are very nice.

Lovely stay- missing some important details

The location was nice. Very very close to neighbors. Advertised to sleep 8- not nearly enough bedding and one of the two actual beds was in terrible shape:(. The owners lived next door and were more than willing to help! Not enough drinking glasses and no wine glasses. Home has been updated and was pretty clean- little more detail and it would be awesome. Kayaks were such a nice addition. Only 2 wash clothes- plenty of towels. Opening ceiling throughout so very noisy and zero privacy. Loved the washer and dryer! Great house for 2-4 if owners buy a better mattress. Loons, deer, bald eagles, beavers, cranes, and a heron who landed on our kayak! Very quiet and peaceful- nearby town of Lake City is really quaint!

Ejoyed our stay. The owner was very kind and friendly.

My husband & I spent a very relaxing week at your cottage. The only complaint is the pictures showed a nice beach which was non existent It was not a swimming lake. But the views were beautiful and the owner took us for a boat ride. All in all it was a lovely vacation
