Beautiful Home in Cashiers

This is a beautiful home in a convenient location to downtown Cashiers. The furnishings are both high end and comfortable. As beautiful as the inside is, you'll still want to spend most of your time outside on the large decks, at the firepit, or admiring the gorgeous water features. This rental will be a go-to whenever we visit the area.

If you’re looking for a rustic place where no one will bother you, this is your place. While the place can use some updates and repairs, it is very clean and comfortable. There is plenty of wildlife in the area, and if so chose, you can completely go off grid with the world as there is not any cell signal. There is WiFi that is available. Hot tub fits 4 comfortably. A small stream adds to the nature feel with the clean running water. The community road can be daunting though as it is has steep hills and is gravel, so be prepared and having a higher profile vehicle is necessary, not a lower riding car

Quiet, carefree and beautiful place!

This is a jewel of a place! The pictures don’t do it Justice. The porch is amazing and the inside is comfortable and has everything you need for the week. We brought lots of staples which we didn’t need. Our family of 6 adults, 2 young kids, plus 4 month old were pleasantly surprised and want to come back again!!

Great cabin, great location. A lot of privacy.

Enjoyed the cabin. It was comfortable and roomy. However, was disappointed with hot tub (temperature would not increase above 62) and wood stove in living room was not operable.

Remarkable stay in well-appointed stay with family and pet. The setting for the water garden to the outdoor fire pit and two open decks and hot tub to the tasteful furnishing fully equipped was a delight. Cooking, entertaining and for last minute items a short distance to nearest grocery. Highly recommend.

Perfect Mountain Hideaway

We were anxious because of some reviews concerning the road leading to the cabin. Yes it was a gravel road and yes it’s in the mountains, so there are ups, downs and some curves, but my brother’s RAV4 had no issues. Yes there are bugs in the woods, some got in the house, but they didn’t bother us. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer!

Our stay at Moose Creek

The home was nice and had lots of space. We felt that it was time for some updates. As older folks, we felt that the upper entry could use some stone and step leveling to make it easier to get up on the porch. The road is narrow and very winding but accessible if you take slowly. Overall a good stay

Perfect getaway to unplug, relax, & unwind

This cabin was perfect for our family! 8 of us plus 1 dog! There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out! Plenty cookware, linens, and towels!! The kids had a blast playing in the creek finding craw dads and salamanders! If you’re looking for somewhere to just relax let go and let the kids play outdoors worry free this is your spot! No cell service was the wifi worked great for us! We will definitely be returning!!

Wonderful Mountain Experience

Our family met at this location for Christmas this year. It was a wonderful getaway with beautiful mountain views. We booked here because it was pet friendly. My dog loved the yard and area around the house to explore. The house has wonderful amenties with jacuzzi, wood burning fire pit, gas fire pit and deck heating, gas grill, wifi, large screen TVs and a poker table. It's not far from Gorges State Park for those that enjoy hiking, and it's very close to the ski resort. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful getaway.

Great house for large family

The cabin is large, plenty of room. Definitely needs some updates on lighting and shower fixtures. The hot tub needs maintenance, and different heating source needed downstairs. Property management/cleaning management also definitely needs improvement. This is a pet friendly house and it shows.

Fabulous mountain retreat!

Sapphire Elegance truly is an elegant mountain retreat with plenty of room and gorgeous views, decks, and decor. This was the nicest rental home we have ever enjoyed. The owners have thought of everything - from every form of seating you could want inside and out, to wind screens and heaters on the decks. The two water features that run through the property are particularly special, creating a spa-like atmosphere. The lot is huge, so the nearest neighboring houses are almost impossible to see through the woods. There are plenty of attractions in the area, but this home is so well done that it is an attraction on its own - you won't want to leave.

Powell/Markakis Family vacation

This property was perfect for a family vacation. The road to get to the house was a little rough for us Florian’s. Not used to mountain driving. The house was very clean, lots of room and very homey. Enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and the sound of the creek. Only negative, the grill didn’t work while we stayed and we had planned on grilling. Really turned out to bit be a problem. I would highly recommend this house to anyone that enjoys a peaceful vacation. Perfect.

Quiet getaway weekend

The location is perfect for secluded quiet time. The road to get to the cabin can be a little difficult depending upon the vehicle you drive. The cabin is spectacular with lodge feel. Beautifully decorated and space for people toget away and spread out. Cell service is obsolete. WiFi is the only option for service but even then some cellular service is un obtainable. The hot tub was a great addition to the location. The beds are firm and the headboard in the lower bedroom can be difficult for some. The cleanliness of the cabin was spectacular. All the amenities that you need including a K cup coffee pot is provid I I love you, but you’re gonna have to slow down a little bit and give my meds time to. ed, but it’s not listed in the details.
