For my return trip home to Florida after celebrating Thanksgiving in Tennessee, I decided to break up the long drive back and visit one of my favorite places, the mountains in Cashiers, NC. I booked this cozy mountain retreat for two nights in Sapphire, NC for just my mom and myself. We enjoyed staying here so much that we extended our trip an additional three nights! From the moment you enter âThe Woodsâ where this vacation rental is, you are blissfully ensconced thanks to the mature pine trees and mountains surrounding you. Once we found our unit, we were greeted with a Christmas wreath on the front door and a very warm unit, especially with the freezing temps. The unit was just charming, especially when we turned on the gas fireplace that looks real along with the sweet Christmas Tree the owner thoughtfully provided. Mom and I felt right at home This rental is meticulously clean, very quiet, well stocked, friendly neighbors and the owner is very kind along with responsive. I highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. If visiting for the first time, be sure to check out the local waterfalls, Lake Glenville, Zollers, Happâs Place, Whiteside Brewing Company, Casa Amigos and The Village Green Hope you get to enjoy!
