This home was amazingly decorated and very comfortable. Everything we needed to prepare meals was available in the kitchen. I honestly can’t think of one thing that wasn’t perfect. We had a list of activities to do while in the area but found we enjoyed just being at the house, sitting by the fire and enjoying the beautiful view.

Beautiful property with an amazing view. Drive up is a little sketchy, but manageable. Donna, the host was amazing and always responded to our needs. Kitchen could use a few more items because we cook a lot, but pots and pans were plentiful. We used the outdoor fireplace everyday and Donna did her best to keep the wood restocked. Would definitely stay here again and give it a very high recommendation.

Mountain Paradise!We had the most incredible stay at Diamond Ridge - the views are absolutely breathtaking and the photos truly don't do them justice! The house was spotless, perfectly appointed with everything we needed, and Donna was an amazing host who made sure every detail was perfect. We spent every morning and evening on the deck soaking in those stunning mountain vistas and already can't wait to return!

New Years Retreat

Property was beautifully decorated with ample room for 2 families of 4. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed for cooking. We took advantage of the outdoor fireplace each night after chasing waterfalls during the day. The views are breathtaking which made it hard to leave. Donna was very responsive from the time of booking throughout our stay which we appreciate!

Perfect Summer

Amazing stay at DiAmond Ridge!! We enjoyed our summer weeks in the mountains, the house & amenities were absolutely well thought out with everything you could possibly need! The porch & views were spectacular, the location allowed easy daily exploring to all the great towns, hikes, & lakes! Our concierge manager was on top of things when we had a question!! It was a joy & we look forward to returning soon!

Beautiful home with an incredible view of mountains and valley. We were there for Thanksgiving, and really appreciated the well appointed kitchen that had absolutely every appliance necessary for cooking any dish. House was super clean and prepared for us, and the beds were all very comfortable! The indoor gas fireplace was turned on with a touch of a remote, and the outside wood burning fireplace was stocked and cozy on chilly nights. An Ingles supermarket is close by, and downtown Highlands is a short drive away. Our host was very responsive and had a wonderful booklet with recommendations for places to eat, hiking trails, and places to see. We will definitely be back to this wonderful and breathtaking home!

Beautiful place

We spent our Thanksgiving week at this beautiful house and it was perfect. The views are amazing and the pictures do not do it justice. It was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well appointed to prepare an entire Thanksgiving feast. We created lots of wonderful family memories. Jennifer (property manager) was wonderful to deal with and went above and beyond to take care of us. Thank you!

Views to die for!

We enjoyed nine nights at this fabulous home. From communication to check in the ease of all was great. The home leaves nothing to be desired. We took walks up the mountain, enjoyed drinks on the deck both morning(coffee) and night to stare at the views, and played games and enjoyed the comfortable tv room. You won’t be disappointed staying here. It is way up the mountain on winding roads just FYI. We plan on returning when we can!!

Such a lovely little get away! We had so much fun in Sapphire. The place has a beautiful view that the pictures cannot do justice. It's clean and spacious, perfect for spending the night in and cooking after hiking the nearby trails.If you're reading this review and looking to stay here and use the ammenties, just be aware that you will need to request passes at least 72 hours ahead of time. You need to message the host with the number of passes requested and the names ages of each person. I missed this when I booked and I almost didn't get them! With or without the resort amenities, this place is awesome. Hopefully we can book again!

We have updated our correspondence to booked guests to help people be prepared for pass requests. Glad you enjoyed your trip! Hope we have the privilege of hosting you and your family again soon at Diamond Ridge. Donna Owner

Nice getaway to beautiful calm mountains

The property was beautifully decorated, the kitchen was nicely appointed, the beds were comfortable, and we had the most gorgeous view of the mountains. The only drawback was the many air freshers in the home and the strong scent they left. And we had a little trouble getting in with our door code the first night, but this was quickly fixed, and we got a new code for the front door.

So Much to Love

It is a great house: the craftsmanship, the layout, the details. We were very comfortable. We made a fire on the porch every evening and enjoyed the long-range views and shadows on the mountains. We took firewood, but appreciated that they also provided firewood. We did not take advantage of the fire pit, as it's too many steps down for our mobility, but it looks delightful and The Highlands Concierge left a cute setup of everything needed for s’mores (As well as a thoughtful mountain welcome gift.) The kitchen is well-appointed. The bed was comfy. We will eagerly return.

Mountain Getaway

This was exactly what we were looking for in a mountain vacation. The property was close enough to cities that we could venture out if we wanted, but secluded enough that it felt like we were in the middle of the woods. The house was impeccably clean and and had everything we needed. Our extended family was able to cook and eat an entire Thanksgiving feast without feeling crowded. The kitchen had new appliances and plenty of storage space. The kids enjoyed having their own hang out space on the lower level. The upper back deck provided a space to relax and enjoy the gorgeous view. The outdoor fireplace on that deck was easy to use and gave us extra time to spend outside once it got chilly. The host was prompt to answer my questions and offer recommendations. I would gladly return to this property in the future.

No better views than this!

If you are searching for the quintessential mountain getaway, look no further. The views from this home are unparalleled. We even got to watch the fireworks from the back porch. The home is about a 12-min drive to the Sapphire amenity center and 17 min to Cashiers without traffic.Donna, our host, was accommodating and responsive. The place was immaculate and sleeps 8 very comfortably. The area offers so much to do, including golf, hiking, pickle ball, swimming, and more. On rainy afternoons you can build a fire and snuggle up to your favorite book or board game. The kitchen is well stocked and the place comes with washer/dryer, fire pit, numerous tvs and good wifi. The house is equipped with smart devices (alexa, ring cameras) throughout.The first-floor master is perfect for individuals with mobility issues. My 80 yr old parents were able to navigate their stay easily, with minimal stairs into the house.

Diamond Ridge Dreamy Getaway!

From the moment we rolled into the driveway, we knew we were in for something special. The garden greeted us with blooming hydrangeas like it was straight out of a magazine. And stepping inside? Wow. The house was spotless—like, “you-could-eat-off-the-floors” clean. Honestly, the photos don’t even come close to capturing how gorgeous this place is in person.But the real showstopper? The view. Slide open those doors and BAM—mountains for days. And guess what? There are two porches! Our kids claimed the lower one as their hangout zone, while we soaked in the scenery (and some wine) from the upper deck. Pure bliss.Now let’s talk about Donna, the host with the most. She was super responsive and kind, chatting with us through the VRBO app and making sure we had everything we needed. She even left us a welcome basket with s’mores—how sweet is that?Bottom line: Diamond Ridge is a gem, and Donna knows how to make guests feel right at home. We’re already dreaming about our next visit!
