About this property

Our Mountain Oasis - Where Christmas Is All Year - Single Story - Pet Friendly

Relax and unwind at Our Mountain Oasis! Our 3 bedroom, 3 bath, single story home is easy on your back, no need to lug suitcases up or down flights of stairs. The open floor plan provides the perfect gathering place for family and friends but when it is time for some quiet seclusion, each bedroom is located for privacy. Our home includes 2 suites on opposite sides of the house, each with it's own private, uncovered deck to enjoy your early morning coffee. In the living room, 2 sets of large sliding doors expand the living area further onto a large screened deck with ample seating for relaxing. This is the ideal spot for wine and conversation. The deck also includes a dining area to enjoy your steak fresh off the grill. The elevated deck offers soft breezes and a mountain view that feels as if you are floating in the trees. On cool evenings, lounge in front of one of the gas fireplaces located in the living room or on the deck. Our elegantly rustic home with its beautiful wood accents has a quiet, private ambiance yet you have easy access to the Sapphire Valley Masters Association amenities, local outdoor activities, and even some shopping if you so desire. Whether you are joining us for the solitude of a comfortable home away from home or looking to spend your days packed with outdoor pursuits, we know you will cherish the time you spend here and we will be proud to welcome you back time and time again.

This place has it all!

As a connoisseur of rentals, this is one of the few places I would absolutely return to... great layout, fabulous porch, tasteful decor and extremely well stocked!We took all our Christmas gifts with us and enjoyed a 5-night stay with lots of hiking, playground fun, game nights, fabulous home-cooked meals, and wine. I can't say enough good things about our stay. Maybe next time, we'll go in a bit warmer clime to take advantage of the porch, even though the floor heater and fireplace made it very hospitable for morning coffee wrapped in a blanket.Dorothy, the owner, was fabulous to work with...very responsive and informative.

Beautiful home and location!

We enjoyed staying in this beautiful home so much! Not only is the house very nice (and so, so clean) but the view is beautiful and it feels very private. The location is perfect. When you're at the house it feels very secluded but it's also very close to so much. We went shopping in Brevard, dining in both Sapphire and Cashiers, and visited several beautiful waterfalls in the area. We loved relaxing on the screened porch with such a nice view. And the large gathering area in the house is so well thought out with separate areas for relaxing in front of the fireplace, watching TV or playing games. Dorothy was very responsive to my questions and so nice to work with. She has really put a lot of thought into making the stay at this home very relaxing and comfortable. And I loved her detailed instruction book! We hope to return for another stay soon!

We are in our 70s and 80s, brothers and spouses, who look for places to get together each year.

This house was perfect for the 6 of us. It's nicely furnished, has wonderful beds, and the deck was our favorite gathering place. The host provided a notebook full of information on the house and area. And the bears and deer were delightful!

Weekend of Tranquility

My husband and I enjoyed our weekend away at Mountain Oasis. Our favorite "room" of the clean home is the big, screened in porch which overlooks woods and a mountain in the distance. It was quiet and peaceful which is just what we were looking for. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds super comfortable. We look forward to coming back and staying longer.

Beautifully Relaxing!

We booked our stay at this beautiful home and are already wanting to go back! In wanting to plan a short getaway we also wanted to help the area of the Western NC Mountains that had recently sustained so much damage from Hurricane Helene. The home sits where the views are amazing, private and just a short drive to activities. The ability to open the double doors that separate the inside from the screened in porch creates such a relaxing atmosphere. All the rooms are well appointed and allow everyone privacy or gathering together. The owners put a lot of thought into items that would make this feel more like a home than just another vacation property. Every detail was thought out and even provide an extremely detailed guest information book. We ended up staying at the property the majority of our time because of the relaxing environment and all the extra things that are available use (games, fireplace reading, gathering, grilling, etc). From my initial contact with Dorothy she made the whole process of renting her home so easy!

Mountain respite

The house is as described on the website and was great for a getaway for our family of 5. We enjoyed the screened porch with a nice view and the amenities that were included - pool, lake access, track and basketball court. We had a bear visit in the front yard which was exciting! The host was responsive and friendly. Overall a very nice VRBO experience.

About the host

Hosted by Dorothy Young

Host profile image
My husband and I are native Texans and still generally reside in Texas where my husband owns his own real estate company. He has been a real estate broker all his adult life and we have cherished the joy of ushering families into their new homes. As for me, I have been blessed to have a career as an RN for over 40 years. I started my career as an officer in the Army Nurse Corps, proudly serving this wonderful nation. My master's degree is in emergency care and triage but I was also a hospice nurse for many years. We have 4 wonderful children and 4 energetic grandchildren, of which we are very proud. We are so glad to share our home with you and know you will enjoy your time here as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

In 2019 we took our first trip to North Carolina and absolutely fell in love with the beauty of this unique geographical area. Located in a rain forest, the lush green of the foliage and the magnificent mountains literally made every turn in the road a moment to treasure and a feast for the eyes. When we are here, we are in a cocoon of quiet peace where our minds are calmed, we can brush off our troubles, and simply relax. We unplug, literally, and it is an amazing balm for the soul. When you visit with us we hope you will do the same.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the expansive feel as we first stepped into our home. The open living room/kitchen/dining room offers cluster areas for private conversation or work yet allows participation from all sides of the room if desired. The large screened deck which is nestled in the trees offers a protected area to enjoy the outdoors no matter what the weather brings. As I presently sit on the deck typing this for you, I am greeted by the sunset peeking through the clouds even as gentle rain drops splatter on the leaves of the trees surrounding me. I hear the birds calling to each other in the distance and the wind rustling through the branches. Just imagine yourself here, sitting with your feet up on the ottoman as I am, leaving the worries of the world behind just for the day.
