This unit was exactly as described and better. So well appointed and comfortable. The first day of our stay rained the entire day but we did not even mind- stayed in and played games, read by the fire- so cozy. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything we need to cook in two of our 3 nights. I'd highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

This is probably one of, if not the most beautiful and well kept vrbos we have ever stayed at! From the decor down to the little extras that make your stay all that much easier, Kim had literally thought of everything! Beautiful accommodations! Friendly service! Quality furnishing and appliances. Coffee and hot tea available as well as sugar! Stunning views of the river and mountains! We will highly recommend Kim to anyone staying in the Sapphire area!

I'm Kim, the owner of Sapphire Hideaways. I own and manages several different properties in the Sapphire, NC area.

We have the cleanest and well appointed units! Oh so comfortable furnishings..... and top of the line kitchen utensils and equipment!

If you need something specific, just ask and I will do my very best to get it for you!

I am a native Floridian born and raised in Miami, and now in Jacksonville Beach area, but I escape up to the mountains every chance I get!

I've been bringing my 3 boys (now full grown) up to the area for over 30 years! We just love it up there and have the best vacation memories from the years of visiting. Now, we are fortunate enough to offer this experience to our guests. It honestly makes me so happy to see couples, families and friends enjoying our spaces and making great memories!

Enjoy!
