Good stay
The house had everything we needed and lots of room for our crew to sleep. We love Sapphire Valley! The house was everything advertised. Comfortable beds and living space. A couple of small things to note. We did have to stagger showers and take short showers because the hot water runs out quick. An easy adjustment after night one. The driveway is vert steep. We had great weather so it was not an issue but I am not so sure a wet, frozen, or snowy driveway would be navigable without 4 wheel drive.

Not the property for asthmatics and allergen sufferers.
This home was in a great location and very clean and spacious. However, it was evident in the downstairs basement/bunk bed room that was meant for kids, they definitely had a mold issue going on. They had a noisy humidifier going with some type of febreeze air freshener going. The mold/mildew smell was still readily detected despite the efforts to mask it. Mold is a health hazard to the neurologic and respiratory systems especially in children, and my sister and I did not feel comfortable having the kids sleep down there. Also, I am a bronchial asthmatic that is triggered by mold, and I ended up getting a horrible case of bronchitis staying there that wiped me out, required a trip to a health clinic an hour away, and had me in bed for 2 full days of our vacation. The couple of times I went down to the basement very quickly to change the laundry, I would start gagging with a bronchial attack. I felt so much better once we were out of the house and home. The bronchitis still had to be treated with meds to prevent from turning into pneumonia. If you have any health sensitivities to allergens, mold, etc. this is not the property for you.

Basement Bedroom Unusable; House Needs Deep Clean
Please note that the 4th bedroom (bunkbeds) is in the basement and not usable - it is extremely damp and smells terribly of mildew and the air freshener used to try and cover up the mildew smell. The owner has 2 dehumidifiers, 2 fans and 2 air fresheners running in the tiny room. We rented this house because we needed 4 bedrooms to accomodate 2 families. Given the condition of the 4th bedroom the other family in our party had to find last minue alternative accommodations at great expense and inconvenience. Overall the house feels old and in need of updates and a deep clean (e.g. stained carpets and linens, dirty pots and pans in the cupboards). The house was also lacking basics such as hand soap in the bathrooms, dish / dishwasher soap, etc. We really do not want to have to write a negative review but do want to make sure others don't find themselves in a similar situation. The homeowner should clearly disclose the limitations of the 4th basement bedroom and adjust the nightly rental rate accordingly. We did share our concerns with the management company. They were very responsive. However, the solution was to provide a very small refund which felt inadequate given the issues and the addition expenses we incurred.

Nice stay but had to clean and organize during stay!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Nice location. Nice home overall. The property manager was friendly and easy to work with. The house overall was large and relatively spacious with comfortable furnishings, but it was not as clean and organized as we would have liked. There was trash and dust noticeably behind and under furniture all over the house. We understood that the last tenant left the house a disaster so the cleaners did not have enough time to do a proper cleaning. However, this home is a need of a deep cleaning, touch up, clean out, painting, and a refresh. This should have been done in the off-season! Here is a list of specific problems we encountered: 1- The hot water handle on the master bathroom sink was loose and not turning the water off properly. 2- The fire pit area was full of trash when we arrived. Two of the chairs around the fire pit were cracked and broken also so that they were not usable. 3- The garage was a mess! Boxes, trash, and stuff everywhere. We organized it the best we could. Shelves need clean out and organization. 4- The downstairs bedroom (bunk room) is not usable. The smell of mildew down there is awful and definitely unhealthy! We had to move the mattresses upstairs during our stay so that the children would not be exposed to the smell. A dehumidifier was running, but it is not enough to remedy the problem. The owner needs to call a specialist to diagnose and fix the problem. It is not healthy for anyone to spend any significant time down in there. 5- The cooking knives in the kitchen are not practical or usable. Too flimsy and all are serrrated knives. 6- There was old, dated, and used food in the pantry and refrigerator that we had to clean out. 7- Doors, door frames and walls had spilled stains on them in various places. We cleaned them the best we could. 8- Some closets had no doors or no working door and were full of junk and stuff. Looks very unorganized and messy. Dangerous for little children too. This was true of the garage too. 9- Interior walls need painting. This should have been done in the off-season! 10- Behind and under furniture is dusty and filthy! This house should have been deep cleaned in the off-season! 11- Dishwasher is not anchored! Very annoying! You have to hold it steady with your knee to open the door. It is jiggly, noisy, and comes out of its slot. Despite this, we had a nice stay. Issues should be addressed ASAP!

Precisely what we needed
A great trip and stay at this home. It was perfectly equipped for our party of 10 with numerous sleeping configurations for our gaggle of kids. Our trip was timed perfectly for an gnarly dumping of snow - and the home had everything we needed on-hand to get us through. Our group spent HOURS building snow forts, sledding, shoveling, shoveling some more, and warming up by the fire. We found the home to be very clean, spacious, and well appointed. Satellite tv/internet kept our group chugging along without issues. Very friendly neighbors as well - seriously, not being fecicious about that.

Exactly as advertised!
We just returned from our weekend and LOVED our stay. The house was in a great location for all the activities we were participating in (for a family wedding), it was clean and everyone had enough space. The downstairs space with the Foosball table and games was paradise for the kids. The only downside, which we were warned about, is the Wifi and cell service- both weren’t great. If we weren’t trying to coordinate with family it wouldn’t have been as big of a deal but that did complicate things. The owners were very helpful and we very much felt at home! Highly recommend!

Christmas in January!
We absolutely LOVED the house for Christmas in January with our group of 6 adults and 4 kids (ages 5, 4 and 2.5). There was even a cute little Christmas tree ready for us to put all our presents under. It was spacious, sleeping arrangements were comfortable, plenty of seating in the main living space and kitchen was well stocked. The game area in the loft was great and the little toy box was lots of fun too. The foosball and ping pong table were an awesome bonus as well. We got some snow and we’re so grateful the owner allowed us to use their sleds and had even left us salt for the driveway! The WiFi is not great, but definitely expected when your in the mountains. Overall, this was an amazing place to stay for a large group! We will be back!

Beautiful rental home/Great for families!
We had a wonderful stay with family over our Thanksgiving holiday! We were traveling with 8 adults and three kids (ages 2-5) and the house was set up perfectly for all of us to enjoy together - with board games, some toys and movies. The house is located in a very nice neighborhood near a golf course and waterfalls are nearby to visit - a few easy hikes just down the mountain and multiple other waterfalls between a 15-20 minute drive away (in Highlands and Cashiers). We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit outside the house and the ping pong table set up in the garage (awesome additions!). We had deer walk by the kitchen window a couple of times first thing in the morning and it snowed on us the last morning we were there. The owners were great communicating with us as we arrived and even met us at the house to make sure we were checked in and good to go. A few things to note: wifi doesn’t work well in the mountains, or at the house. We’ve been to the mountains before but I forgot about this detail (not the owners fault, just how it is!). The driveway is very steep so be prepared for this. If sleeping downstairs in bunk bed room use the space heater provided down there to keep warm - the heater warms upstairs more so family sleeping upstairs were hot when we were still cold so this worked well for us! Sapphire is super close to towns- Cashiers and Highlands - but they are super curvy mountain rounds that you will be driving on so if you get carsick just be prepared for that! The home is about a 10-min drive to a nice grocery’s store and other small stores. Overall wonderful stay! We would highly recommend it!!
