We had a wonderful stay in this mountaintop cabin. The home interior was beautiful with nice furnishings and everything we needed for our stay. The mountain view from this cabin is breathtaking. We enjoyed sitting on the deck by the fire pit staring at the gorgeous mountains. Truly a special place, we’d highly recommend it and hope to visit this home again.

Wonderful property
House was amazing. Everything you need is available there. Property manager very responsive and professional The only thing is that the listing doesn’t show it’s far away from the club amenities and restaurants Also mirrors should be added on some of the curves which are kind of dangerous to drive especially at night or when it rainsBesides this we had an amazing ime

Sapphire Mountain View
Despite the fact that we had torrential rains when we arrived and for the next 2 days we had a very nice time enjoying the wood burning fireplace, playing games and telling the same stories and jokes we share each year. The living room and dining area was very nice. We had plenty of kitchen and bath supplies. The sun came out the third day and fourth morning and view was spectacular! Again, despite the rain the fall foliage was spectacular. Some of the rooms did not have dressers or chests and there were no hangers in the closets, so if you like to hang clothes it might be advisable to bring some hangers. I would also point out that the road up from US 64 to the house is approximately 3 miles and steep and winding.

Beautiful Home, Well Appointed, Stunning View
This is a beautiful home with a stunning view. The home had everything we needed to enjoy a few days in the mountains with 3 generations to celebrate my moms birthday (pack and play, board games, cards, legos, cozy blankets, gas fire pit and gas grill, wood burning fire place with gas starter, plenty of linens). The home is spacious and beautifully decorated. The road up to the house is narrow and winding so be prepared for that (takes about 10 min from main road). The house manager quickly addressed some small issues we had and was available as needed.
This is an absolutely beautiful mountain home with STUNNING views. The house was a perfect fit for our 8 adults and toddler. Everyone had plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, etc. and we loved the outdoor fire pit and grill. The king beds were all very comfortable. As all of us were coming from flatland Michigan we were unprepared for the road leading up to the house as it is can be steep, narrow, and winding. But we did get more comfortable with it over the course of our stay. We utilized the pool and found it to be well worth the $5 access fee. Plenty of things to do there.
