We had the best time at Crystal Creek Arcade House. The hosts had everything we needed and more-and communication from them was great! The stream outside the house was so relaxing to listen to and we spent a lot of time sitting outside in the beautiful nature that surrounded the house. Location was central and easy to get to restaurants and grocery store. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you again for a wonderful and relaxing vacation!

We loved this place!

We had an amazing time in Sapphire at this house. It is close to some beautiful waterfalls, Cashiers, Highlands and the Sapphire Valley Resort where we fished, swam, and took our dog to the dog park. The hosts were amazing and very responsive. I highly recommend this place.

The host wast amazing.

The property was great and more than fine for our family. We had a lot of fun, but what made the experience so awesome was the host. I had lost my wallet in the house somewhere and they went above and beyond to try and find it. Even going over to the house themselves to search. Highly recommend property.
