Photos and Description of the Sapphire vacation cabin rental
2 bedroom, 1 bath, sleeps 4

Ten minutes from Cashiers, and 55 minutes southeast of Asheville, N.C. is Sapphire Heaven; a cozy cabin of rustic elegance, which offers your soul over 200 acres of privately gated nature, peace, solitude, but yet the convenience of being so close to everything. Fine dining, boutique/convenience shopping, golf, tennis, stream/lake fishing, hiking, rafting, and incredible waterfalls are all within eight miles of the cabin.

Built in 2007, Sapphire Heaven ranks high on the luxury scale and boasts a spectacular, panoramic, long distance, mountain sunrise view. Enjoy the patio hot tub, the indoor or private outdoor shower, a premium sound system, the high end kitchen appliances, a wide screen LCD television, the audiophile DVD/CD player, the outdoor gas grill/rotisserie, wireless high speed internet, office communications equipment , washer / dryer, and much more…For more information, visit our website at the bottom of this page.

Private Waterfall!: There is a spectacular waterfall that is about 150 yards from the cabin. The trail to it is a little steep in places, which makes it a difficult hike, but well worth the effort. The waterfall area is totally private and exclusively accessible from our cabin property. What is even more amazing is the fact that you can easily walk behind the falling water and stay totally dry. Naturally, I've named it Sapphire Heaven Falls. As you stand behind it, the top of the fall starts about 40 feet above your head from a bowl shaped rock outcropping, then falls twenty feet out from you, and ten feet below you to cascade steeply down the mountain. There is so much room under/behind the falls that you can have a picnic for the whole family. The falls are made private by the sheer walls above and below this plateau shelf. You think the cabin is cool, wait until you see this!

Around the chic mountain village of Cashiers, North Carolina, fashionable development keeps pace with the growing demand for vacation and retirement homes. Easily understandable considering Cashiers is located in the waterfall area of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where high elevation lakes, streams, and rivers abound. Adding to the natural attractions that beckon the thousands of affluent, seasonal residents (plus a multitude of visitors) are notable golf courses, trendy shops, fine dining establishments, and tennis resorts. Asheville, home of the Biltmore Estate, is a cultural hub not to be missed, less than an hour drive away.

We loved our stay; sorry for the late review

My husband & I really loved your cabin, John. It was one of the most relaxing places we've stayed. The interior was just as gorgeous as the pictures. Our favorite moments: enjoying the hot tub & outdoor shower (we were lucky to be there before the first freeze!) and relaxing on the back porch (the hammock was made for napping!). We also ventured up into Highlands & really enjoyed the little shops in town & visiting the waterfalls in the area.
Owner's Response: We appreciate your review. Stacy and I love letting others discover the healing energy of our retreat as much as we enjoy staying there ourselves. Responses like yours are a tremendous reward for the time, effort, and expense we dedicated to creating Sapphire Heaven. Of course we can't take credit for the spectacular view, or the splendor mother nature has on display there, but we can sure share what we found.

Private with stunning views

When I stumbled onto this cabin after hours of searching online, it seemed head and shoulders above any other I had seen. When I arrived it met and often exceeded my expectations. The view is spectacular, the cabin has a more modern and classy style than the cheesy/plaid style seen in most other mountain rentals (reclaimed wood plus modern fixtures makes the cabin feel rustic yet new somehow), the lot and even neighborhood is so extremely private that we never saw anyone else, the place is loaded with thoughtful amenities from local guides to games to great audio/video equipment (along with tons of CDs and DVDs to enjoy and speakers throughout the house), and the soaking hot tub was a true highlight with a clear line of sight to the amazing view and starry night sky. The cabin, while private, is still minutes from tons of great hikes littered with waterfalls and a few decent restaurants and shops. It truly was a perfect location for our weekend getaway, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Owner's Response: I am so glad you were able to visit and, as it appears, benefit from your stay at Sapphire Heaven. There is great reward for Stacy and I in knowing our efforts are truly appreciated; however, even without our rustic creation this particular spot where the cabin is located would still be on another whole level of special. We were just lucky enough to find it. Without leaving the back porch you can witness a broad spectrum of natural forces from high above the summit to the eastward distant ripple of mountain ridges. Of course, like a photo, words don’t do it justice…but its fun trying.

Accurate description of property and surrounding areas. Very clean and well-maintained. My wife and I would definitely return to this area in the future when vacation planning. This is a great place to escape to and get some relaxation. All restaurants/cafes we visited in the area of either Cashiers, Sapphire, or Highlands were run very well and had excellent food and service. This is an area in which many people vacation, so most of the establishments are geared for just that. They take good care of you.
