**Details about water supply for our neighborhood: Our home as well as our nearby neighbors' homes (there are 4 homes on this large ridge area) share a treated spring water supply. A holding tank and pump system provide great water pressure and water supply. Since we share a spring with our neighbors, out of an abundance of caution, guests are asked to use water responsibly. In the event of a power outage, the water pump at the holding tank will not operate. We supply gallon jugs of water that are stored in every bathroom and the utility room and laundry room. We do not have a generator.
**Details about the Sapphire Valley Resort amenities available for guest use: Sapphire Valley Resort charges guests $5/day or $25/week if you would like to use any of the Sapphire Valley amenities. Pick up amenity cards at the Guest Services Center. The Sapphire Valley Resort website has a current activity schedule as well as details about all the amenities offered. Some of the amenities have additional fees. For example, boat rental at Fairview Lake has hourly and daily rates. Please contact Sapphire Valley Resort for up to date availability and fees for all of the amenities offered.

Relaxing Getaway

Beautiful and spacious home in NC mountains provided a quiet and picturesque location for my adult family members to meet and reunite. Plenty of comfortable seating around the fireplace in the living room while two large decks and outdoor seating offered wonderful views of the surrounding mountains and valley below.

Great getaway

The house was great! Everything was clean and well maintained. The owner is easy to work with. This definitely isn’t the typical bare bones rental. The view and property was great.

Incredible views!

We loved our stay at Wilstone Lodge! The views from the deck were magnificent and enjoyed in the mornings and each evening. The house is hilltop - but definitely worth the daily mountain road commute to town. We love the Sapphire/Cashiers/Highlands area! We enjoyed a most relaxing vacation in a beautiful mountain setting and will return again. Jamie was a wonderful host - with great communication!

Wonderful property!

Wonderful property! Just as pictured. Extremely stocked with items so I would suggest stopping by the house before heading to the store so you can see what you actually need. I’ve never stayed at a property with better views. We all enjoyed our time here- from adults to children.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Wilson

We recently fell in love with the Cashiers/Sapphire area as an escape from the heat and humidity of almost 30 consecutive summers in Charleston, South Carolina! My husband and I are both from Chattanooga, Tennessee and we feel very much at home in the mountains.

Why they chose this property

When we were looking for a mountain home, we thought we wanted to be closer to Asheville. Then we looked at homes on the Cashiers-Highlands Plateau and the elevation won us over. We are still very close to Brevard and Asheville. We are in love with the lush beauty and waterfalls in Panthertown Valley which is accessible on foot from the front door of Wilstone Lodge.

What makes this property unique

The Nantahala National Forest is 0.4 miles from our doorstep. There is something calming about being in a place where you can walk around and not see many cars or people. But if you need to, you can drive down the mountain and be in the Cashiers grocery store check out line in 20 minutes with a Starbucks in hand!
