Peaceful Mountain at Sapphire Valley
Well, my husband and I have stayed there on and off for the last six months for local work, so we know the place well. Sadly, our project has come to an end, so our most recent stay will be our last for work. BUT, we love everything about Todd and Barbie and the house, and we will be back for fun hiking weekends. Hiking, waterfalls, everything nearby. It's the best place we've stayed in the area. Private, squeaky clean, big deck, large dining room table for big meals or spreading out the paperwork, GREAT internet connection and TV options. We'll definitely be back on our own - we feel so comfortable there in every way. I could not recommend any higher - would give it a "10" if I could. Todd and Barbie also bent over backwards to help us with a couple of last-minute schedule changes. Such honest and thoughtful hosts. Thanks Todd and Barbie for EVERYTHING over the last few months. We love you guys!

Catamount River Retreat
Amanda’s place truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine by the host. The property itself was immaculate and tastefully decorated, blending modern amenities with charming, rustic touches. The living area was spacious and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. Another highlight was the outdoor space, which featured a cozy patio with comfortable seating perfect for stargazing in the evenings, or looking at the creek not too are away. The location was also a huge plus; it was conveniently situated near WCU, yet peaceful enough to enjoy a quiet retreat. Overall, this Airbnb provided an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it!

Sapphire Daze - an amazing view, with a cottage!
Beautiful view and plenty of room for our family. Kerry responded quickly to my questions and gave clear directions. I’m glad she recommended to stay on paved roads since we arrived at night and alternate routes take you down gravel roads. Convenient location for our stay to enjoy snow tubing and amenities at the Sapphire Valley Community Center.

The place is exactly as described. Very close to WCU and worked out great during move in day. Relaxing place to stay.

By far the best airbnb host we’ve ever had super fast to respond to questions and the accommodations were better than described. Beds were absolutely marvelous woke up every morning feeling better than new. This airbnb is a nature lovers dream. Highly recommend Sandy and the unit

The Bond "0" Condo
Our family of four had an incredible stay at this cozy Airbnb! The views of the snow-covered mountains were absolutely stunning and made for a perfect backdrop throughout our stay. Our family had plenty of space to relax and unwind. The kids loved the Murphy bed! We especially loved gathering around the fireplace, with plenty of wood provided to keep us warm and toasty. Everything was just perfect, and we’d definitely love to stay again in the future!

This is our third stay. We love coming here. Love the house and location. Always pristine clean and quick to respond if anything comes up. Near all our favorite things to do.

Loved our time here! Convenient to shopping, great restaurants and many hiking trails. My family of four was very comfortable in this home - will definitely come back!

Beautiful Trillium home - club amenities available
Place and the host were amazing! :) Trillium is a special area and this house was special. Jennifer was fantastic and super helpful!

Cottage at Casuarina Lodge - Luxury, Pet Friendly
We loved our 8 day stay here. The area is quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed walking with our dog through the property and down the road through the neighborhood. The cabin is dog friendly but you would never know it because it was quite clean. Philip and Michelle were wonderful hosts and responded and acted quickly when we let them know the lightbulb in the kitchen had blown. They gave us some great recommendations on places to visit to see some spectacular views and waterfalls. We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again!

Hike & Boat: Cozy Bear Lake Cottage!
Bear Lake is beautiful and isolated. Top notch staff, beautiful spaces and good amenities. The house was in fantastic shape and was everything advertised. The back porch is a fantastic place to hang out and enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains on the other side of the lake. A few things to consider - the road to the house is curvy and very steep. Also, cell service is very poor, so make sure to set your GPS and copy a picture with the door code before leaving the service areas.

Storybook cottage on stream- perfect for families!
We had a wonderful few days at this mountain cottage. The house is even better than the pictures suggest. It was extremely comfortable and well decorated. Travis was very responsive when I contacted him with questions . All in all an excellent house to rent. Thank you Travis

Laurel Ridge Cottage at Lake Toxaway
This home was exactly as described. We especially loved the outdoor space!! The location was superb, and the view was beautiful! We would definitely rent this home again!!

Lake Junaluska Historic Cottage
Brian, David and I will defiantly come back to stay again. We love Lake Junaluska and your location is perfect for easily jumping over to downtown Waynesville, the lake or Maggie Valley. As I mentioned in our conversation, you guys did an amazing job with the renovation bringing this sweet little house back to something very special. We felt very much at home instantly and the directions you provided made the check in and out seamless. The house was very clean and I very much appreciated the little touches of items provided in the kitchen. I would also note, the little notes on how to use the fireplace and other items were tastefully done and left no room for questions. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and we will look forward to our next stay. Holly and David C.
