My family and I just completed a 16 day stay at this beautiful property. We were sorry when the end of our stay came and did not want to leave. The house is exactly as pictured on the listing and is stocked with every amenity we could need. It was very clean and comfortable. Our host Jason was quick to respond and kept in touch with us throughout the booking, stay and checkout process. We took advantage of all the activities including hiking, golf, mini golf and local restaurants. We love the area and look forward to returning next year. Highly recommend!

Two things made our week here perfect. First, the host, Jason, was so helpful from initial booking to our leaving the property, and everything in between. He responded almost immediately to my many inquiries. Second, the house was exactly as advertised….clean, and well stocked. The house had a great layout, comfortable beds, and great showers! Finally, the deck was our favorite! Lots of comfortable seating and great views.The house is in an excellent location, and Jason made sure we could use the amenities in the area. The neighborhood has a beautiful lake, and there is a stunning waterfall nearby. We loved our stay so much we’ve already spoken to Jason about a two week stay next summer!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Gillespie

Host profile image
Jason & Sharon have been coming to the NC mountains for years but purchased the Whitewater Whispers house in 2021. They have enjoyed spending more time in Sapphire and getting to know the area and using the amenities!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house when we walked through the door and saw the vast mountain views of the Horsepasture River Valley, and then walked out to the back deck and heard the shoals of the river from the deck. Combine that with the pools, skiing, golf, and mini golf at Sapphire Valley Resort, this has been a perfect mountain retreat for our family. We hope that it is for yours!

What makes this property unique

Look forward to preparing delectable home-cooked meals in the home’s clean, well-appointed kitchen, which comes fully equipped with all the essential cooking appliances, including granite countertops, dishwasher, and full size refrigerator. Enjoy family meals around the dining table or head out outside to the deck, where you can dine al fresco overlooking the mountains. Master and guest bedrooms both have king size beds, third bedroom has twin over full bunk bed and a twin bed. The master bathroom features double sinks, a large whirlpool tub, and a stand-alone shower. The second bathroom has a tub shower combination and double sinks. The well-appointed full-sized kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, granite countertops, a dishwasher and a full size refrigerator. The large den has a stacked stone gas fireplace. A large porch spans the backside of the house with access from the master, den and guest room, has a screened porch and is partially covered. Enjoy the gas grill, the swing and the view! Wifi, 3 smart TVs, cable, full sized washer & dryer, central heat & air. Perfect for couples and family getaways. Sleeps 6-8 comfortably.
