Cozy mountain cabin

We really enjoyed this home and the surrounding area of Sapphire Valley/ Cashiers. It was our first time to this area of NC. The home was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. A better TV and Netflix in primary BR would be nice, but no big deal. The owners were very nice and responsive. The drive to the home is a bit intimidating at first (GPS and daylight helps!) but after we did it a few times, we got used to the route. Ingles grocery store is a 15 minute drive and we picked up groceries there a few times. We enjoyed Slab Town Pizza and custard shop a few doors down. Slab Town had outdoor seating which would be really nice if a bit warmer. Cabin is nested in a valley in a beautiful community, but it still felt private. We enjoyed the fire pit. We didn’t get to tube at Sapphire Valley community center as we hoped because they don’t pre book and sell out fast each day during the holidays. We hiked a surrounding trails, walked around some shops in town, and around Fountain Lake. We just enjoyed nature and the peace and quiet. It was nice to be able to walk right down to a trail. It was pretty cold and trail was bit wet (after a few days of rain) but we still enjoyed ourselves. Hiking boots or water resistant shoes recommended.Overall, a great place. Highly recommend!

Very private setting

Adorable, cabin nestled in the woods with Running-brook. There’s a State walking trail a quarter mile from the home that takes you to several waterfalls. We met someone on the trail who just seen a black bear at the first waterfall. We missed it by five minutes. Highly recommend this rental property.

Exceeded our expectations!

This home is so charming! We hiked directly from our yard through beautiful trails, rarely seeing others until we joined the more popular Panthertown trails. Played golf at the community course. Cooked on the grill and had several relaxing fireplace/firepit evenings. Great internet speed. This home is very private, quiet, with no neighbors in sight... and in a gated community. Owners were very helpful when called upon. We will return!

Awesome property, centrally located, immaculately maintained

My family has been traveling to the mountains for the past 15 years and this is the first place to exceed our expectations. It is obvious that the Hyland’s care deeply for their property. The outside is spotless and has lots of great places to discover, the inside is very comfy, clean and well maintained. We would highly recommend staying here and we hope to return each year.

Why they chose this property

This home is perfectly located in the mountains with access to Fairfield Lake, Community Pool, Mini Golf, Workout room, and a Community Center. This Bald Rock Community has private access to Panthertown which is a national forest and countless hiking trails within walking distance. There is a beautiful creek that runs over 500 feet throughout the 6 acre property. The creek is perfect for kids to play in below the wrap around porch on the home!
