Great Cabin
Such a great mountain cabin! The views were great and the cabin was very cozy...this is exactly what us from FL were expecting for a winter retreat. The cabin was perfect for the two families that went. Plenty of space! Having a little movie room was awesome. We truly enjoyed this cabin and hope to return yearly. Also, were surprised how close we where to several golf courses, good restaurants, snow tubing and amazing water falls. We enjoyed pretty good weather so where able to take some day trips to explore the area. We loved it and will definitely return to the Sapphire/Cahiers area. Sally was a pleasure to work with. She communicated very quickly and was very helpful. My friend left her Dyson blow-dryer in one of the bathrooms. Sally and Bryan quickly helped and mailed it back to us! Thank you!

Great Vacation!
We have stayed in the Cashiers area during the July 4th holiday for the last 5 years . By far, we enjoyed our time in this home as much or more than any with its amazing views. The home was very well appointed with all we needed during our 7-night stay. The views from the back porch were amazing and among the best of the homes we have rented in the past. Daily afternoon rain showers were showcased by a beautiful rainbow reaching down into the valley. One small challenge was promptly addressed by the property manager. Overall, the property met our expectations. The only small exception might be the bed in the bottom floor. It has limited privacy and the bathroom for that bedroom is adjacent to the theater room. This did not prove to be a problem for us as my son and daughter in law used this floor as their personal suite! It also made it easier for them as their dog stayed in the utility room as requested which is right by the bedroom area downstairs with direct access outside. We would recommend this property to anyone that is interested in gorgeous views, nice amenities at Sapphire Resort and a quick commute to most areas of interest.

Host profile image
I am a native to North Carolina. I love Fly Fishing in Sapphire Valley. I enjoy hiking the National Forests nearby Sapphire. I enjoy playing Golf at Sapphire National. I enjoy the air quality of Western NC Mountains. I have a wife, Delia, and three children. I am passionate about CASHIERS LOG CABIN. I make every effort to provide our guests an ULTRA CLEAN CABIN. I enjoy reading reviews from our guests. I am an expert Fly Fisherman and have been featured in NC Sportsman Magazine several times.

I built this CABIN to honor my mom. Mom purchased the 4 1/2 ACRE LOT 21 years ago as a retirement dream. Mom was passionate about the amazing views. I am extremely honored to construct the CABIN she always dreamed of. I welcome our CABIN guests to come and enjoy OUR FAMILY TREASURE !!!

CASHIERS LOG CABIN is a member of the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce. This property is not listed with any commercial real estate agency. I manage and meticulously maintain this property MYSELF. My Mom is a CPA and is my Business Manager.

Why they chose this property

My mom previewed many miles of mountain properties. In October 2002, Dave Bauer, developer of The Divide at Bald Rock, took her on a tour of the community after a fall rain when the waterfall was running hard. The development was in its infant stages and she acquired what Dave said was "his most private and prestigious lot." This lot has amazing views of the Divide Valley below. Once she saw the community, the amazing views from the lot and all of the Sapphire Valley Master Association amenities, she knew this lot was the ONE! Mom held the vacant land for 11 years. Mom and I combined resources to build this amazing cabin. The cabin was completed in July of 2016. It truly is an amazing property. I was so happy to help Mom to build her dream! In November 2019, I became sole owner of the property.

Sapphire Valley Resort amenities are included. NOMINAL FEE $2 PER PERSON PER DAY OVER AGE 14, MINIMUM 3 DAYS

What makes this property unique

The privacy on 4.2 acres and the MAGNIFICENT views are desirable features. We get numerous rave comments on the views from our guests. This is the ultimate "get away from it all" cabin. The cabin offers complete privacy on 4.2 acres, but you are still very close to all amenities and downtown Cashiers.

The property is not listed with any commercial real estate agency. I manage and meticulously maintain the cabin MYSELF. My Mom is a CPA and is my Business Manager.

In December 2023, I installed 2 NuShield Self Cleaning Air Ionization systems on both of my HVAC systems (dual systems for upstairs and downstairs). This is an uncommon feature of a rental property.

The cabin features SONY 4K ultra High Definition televisions. 75" smart 4k in the theater room. 55" smart 4k in the living room with full swivel wall mount. 48" smart 4k in the master bedroom and (2) 40" smart tv's in each of the upstairs bedrooms. BROADBAND internet with WiFi throughout the property. Playstation 4 and Xbox one for the kids (big and small). YouTube-TV package with premium channels and NFL Sunday Ticket in season.

The cabin has over 2000 square feet of covered porches(1,000 sq ft upper level and 1,000 sq ft lower level). The porches (upper and lower levels) offer amazing panoramic views of the Divide valley below. You can also hear the nearby waterfall when it is running and view the waterfall from the back decks. The cabin comes equipped with natural gas for the stove and master bedroom stone fireplace. The cabin is nestled in 4.2 wooded acres of seclusion and privacy. The summer temps rarely reach into the 80's, the fall views are spectacular, the winter low foliage views seem infinite and the springtime air is so refreshing.
