What a phenomenal house! Everything was well kept, clean, and exactly as presented on VRBO. The back yard area was so much fun. We walked in the creeks, saw deer crossing in the early evening, and roasted marshmallows in the fire pit! The hosts were easily reached with the random questions I threw at them.We plan on returning next year!
The house had great activities for our family. The game room was great (though we could never get the VR headset to work). We loved the ping pong table! There were some maintenance items that needed addressing, which were brought to the attention of the owners. Also, the house could probably use a good deep clean, and address the maintenance issues that were brought up. We gave the owners some ideas on how to really allow guests to arrive and feel relaxed vs having to run out to get basics (paper towels, hand soap, etc). Could use a refresh on clean, stain free towels in the primary bathroom as well as the bedding in the primary.

Thanks again for staying with us! Again, apologies that our cleaning team made some oversights. Basics are always provided at check-in, and the team should be using newly purchased towels and linens. We have also scheduled a deep clean for this week and do so periodically. Sorry that we slipped uncharacteristically in those areas on your stay!
Beautiful, perfectly manicured property with no stone unturned. Nature at its best. Several sirens gathering areas. Multi game opportunities for all ages. Everything in perfect working order. Owner provides so many extras. I smiled the entire time I was there! All of the recommended things to do and places to eat were spot on!!!
House was exactly what we wanted and matched pictures. Tranquil back yard with stream and our kid loved the Arcade room. Would book again and wanted to stay longer!
We had the best time at Crystal Creek Arcade House. The hosts had everything we needed and more-and communication from them was great! The stream outside the house was so relaxing to listen to and we spent a lot of time sitting outside in the beautiful nature that surrounded the house. Location was central and easy to get to restaurants and grocery store. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you again for a wonderful and relaxing vacation!
We couldn’t have found a better place to stay for a quick family getaway. From the game room to the awesome backyard , there were plenty of things to keep our young kids entertained. Great location too. There are a ton of trails with awesome waterfall views close by. Host were awesome and answered any questions in a timely manner. Would definitely book again.
We came to the area to go hiling and see some waterfalls. The house is in a good location within a short drive to many
local attractions and activities
This was the perfect setting for my 3 boys for a weekend of mountain coasters, snow tubing, and skiing! We loved everything about the property and had a wonderful time
We had an amazing time in Sapphire at this house. It is close to some beautiful waterfalls, Cashiers, Highlands and the Sapphire Valley Resort where we fished, swam, and took our dog to the dog park. The hosts were amazing and very responsive. I highly recommend this place.
We had a wonderful stay at the Arcade home! The home was as described. We so appreciated the supplies that were included. The home was clean and beautifully decorated! The ping pong table was a big hit! We enjoyed working with the owners and property manager. We love visiting Cashiers, and can’t wait to come back! Thanks for a great weekend away!
My family went for a Christmas get-away and loved the house! All of us were adults, and it was great house and layout to host all of us. Loved the back deck and arcade room! Thanks for having us!
Beautiful, comfortable home. Spacious and relaxing environment with plenty to do. We enjoyed staying here so much. The babbling brook in the back yard is very peaceful. We saw two baby deer in the back yard. This place is now on our list of favorite places to stay.
