About this lodge

Note regarding hurricane Helene….in spite of heartbreaking damage seen on tv in Asheville, Cashiers is in good shape. Businesses are open, roads are good. The Mountain House is fully prepared to offer you a wonderful family getaway-no damage, power back, WiFi good to go.
Life is all around us. We need to celebrate it, every day. Hikes are free, so are long walks and views from mountain tops and waterfalls. Dining in & carry out are available at excellent nearby restaurants, or cook the latest NY Times recipe that caught your eye in the Mountain House's well stocked kitchen. Enjoy some quality family time watching a movie or out by the fire pit (we supply the firewood) laughing and making s'mores. Get a good night's sleep on super comfy mattresses in the mountain air. Come see us...the mountains are waiting.

You won't find a better house. Beautiful bones...post and beam architecture...plenty of room for a family or group of friends. If you read the reviews, they tell the story. We've been sharing the house since 2013, and we have developed a devoted clientele who return year after year.

As longtime VRBO fans ourselves, we furnished this house to be the place we always looked for, but rarely found. Mountain rustic...(modern mountain if you will), with designer details, antiques and a refined casual vibe thrown in for a lovely eclectic mix. This craftsman style, genuine post and beam house has gorgeous heart of pine wood and slate floors throughout - no carpet. Whole house Google wifi, HD tvs with cable, Netflix and Amazon streaming.

Not to name drop - ok, maybe just a bit - when actor Josh Brolin and his gorgeous Atlanta bride decided on Cashiers as the place for their 2016 Lonesome Valley wedding, it was quite the event. Matt Damon, La Streisand and many more in attendance. The bride's family chose the Mountain House as their wedding abode, which we took as a real compliment.. our little moment in the spotlight!

So what's so great about the Mountain House? Amazing mattresses and linens, a kitchen with everything you need, not just a bit of it. Down comforters to snuggle in, big soft sofas, tons of tall windows to let in loads of light, surrounded by trees and rhododendrons.
Dog friendly, check... just let us know Fido is coming.

Cleanliness: It is top on our priority list, as it is for most travelers. We have a top notch cleaning team, and you can be assured your vacation getaway is clean, top to bottom.

Convenience: It's also important to us and our guests to be close to the supermarket, hiking, waterfalls, restaurants, and shops. While still secluded and pastoral, the Mountain House is just minutes to all these things.

Detailing: It's here, in every room, not just some of them. And it's just one thing that sets the Mountain House(and its baby sister, the Hobbit House - #655938) apart. All the rooms are unique, with great accents, from the ten foot antique French workbench coffee table in front of the fireplace, to cool art throughout the house.

Family perfect: Aren't most of us looking for the place that can help make the best family memories? Birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, holidays....the occasions that make you realize that time together is the gift that never wears out.

Space for everyone! The great room is perfect for family confabs in front of the soaring 24 foot rock fireplace...great in the winter season or on chilly summer nights(and a second, lovely living area downstairs)...plenty of seating to chat, or watch movies.

Family dining: A huge rustic trestle dining table that seats 10 to 12 easily, anchors the dining room. A large antique buffet against the wall for serving that gourmet dinner. Right by the screened porch is the open porch, where you can dine al fresco with your family and guests at a huge 10 foot table, enjoying the gorgeous summer weather in the mountains.

Cooking: The fully stocked, gourmet kitchen has beautiful soapstone countertops and farmhouse sink, TWO ovens (heaven for the cook), and a Dacor 5-burner gas cooktop...and everything you need to prepare and serve an amazing family meal. Beautiful dishes and serving ware, family size slow cooker, electric kettle, Bonavita coffee maker, blender, Cuisinart pots and pans, spices and cooking basics.

Relaxation: Sure, we all love togetherness (most of the time), but we also need some alone time, right? Try the screened porch, where I promise you'll spend a lot of time. The large daybed swing with tons of pillows and a foam mattress is the best place imaginable for reading or naps...and you may even sleep there one night! There are plenty of getaway spots for quiet moments.

Six bedrooms: Three bedrooms on the main level: 1 king, 2 queens, with 2-1/2 baths (both with heated stone floors). Upstairs are 2 more guest bedrooms (1 queen and 2 twins) that share the hall bath. The 6th bedroom is a king on the lower level, very private, with glass doors and windows onto the back garden with lots of rhododendrons. It also has a full bathroom with heated stone floors and a seating area outside for your morning coffee!!

Laundry: Yep, it happens, even on vacation. But here it's easy...a beautiful (yes, it can be) laundry/mud room just off the kitchen, and a side entrance (great place to unload groceries)...with top of the line front loading washer and dryer, prep sink area just off the kitchen, and a lovely summer herb garden just outside the door.

No TV struggle: A lovely 2nd family room with HDTV is on the lower level, with big windows, built in bookshelves, mini-fridge and sink...and a game room with foosball and ping-pong. Game on!

More s'mores! No problem. Just outside is a boulder firepit with cedar Adirondack chairs perfect for a chilly mountain night and we have long, stainless marshmallow roasters!

Location: The Mountain House is located in a lovely, gated neighborhood just behind the Country Club of Sapphire Valley...a wooded, gentle, level road for walking, biking or driving (not so far out and up hairpin twist roads you think twice about going anywhere). Snow is cleared by the neighborhood assoc. in the winter, as is our driveway.

Activities: Done, and done. The Sapphire Resort facilities with indoor and outdoor pools, winter ski slopes (snow tubing is great fun!), exercise room, playground, two hot tubs and saunas, and massage...literally just down the street, and beautiful Fairfield Lake just down the road with swimming, canoes and paddleboards. You have access for a small daily fee.
Hiking, waterfalls, golf, fishing, shopping...it's all here. We're also very close to several top notch restaurants, including the renowned Canyon Kitchen at Lonesome Valley and The Library Kitchen and Bar, both less than 5 minutes away.

Baby, oh baby: You won't have to pack all your baby gear! We have a wonderful Four Moms Breeze Pack and Play, a Cybex stroller, Phil & Ted's lobster high chair, an exer-saucer and vibrating baby rocker for your convenience.

Cancellation policy:

We had our children and grandchildren and in-laws stay and we were all blown away not only by the house and all its amenities but also by the beauty and serenity of the surroundings. The owner could not have been more helpful and accommodating! The house was exceptionally well stocked with kitchen and dinning equipment as well as bedding and entertaining items. We felt so fortunate to enjoy such a wonderful house!

This was our second year staying in this house, and it did not disappoint. This year we had an infant, toddler and 6-year old along with 6 adults staying in the house, and it was perfect. There are plenty of room options for our growing family.

Our family loved our stay at the beautiful mountain house in Sapphire. The home was beautifully furnished and had lots of space for our family. We loved the comfortable den and the screened porch was a favorite spot, especially since we had a lot of rain while we were there. But even the rain couldn't dampen our enthusiasm for the area and what it had to offer. The ping-pong and foosball tables were popular with the kids and adults alike. The convenience of the proximity of the house to the Sapphire Valley Resort and its amenities is a plus- there's swimming, tennis, pickleball, golf, putt-putt, and more to do for folks of all ages. We enjoyed our walks through the picturesque neighborhood. The home was stocked with just about everything that we needed for our family - a stroller, a pack and play, high chair, dog beds, baby gates- the list goes on. The kitchen is well-outfitted for family meals at home. Our hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We would absolutely stay there again!

We were an extended family of ten. Five of us were there for 10 days, another five joined us for six days during July 4 week and I stayed on, joined by another couple for the last few days. I also had my miniature poodle with me the entire time. The spacious layout, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms allowed everyone space to enjoy privacy when needed. The living room & game room furniture were all very comfortable. The beds were all reported to be excellent. The extra refrigerator and washer/dryer in the garage provided all the storage and laundry access our large group could desire. The kitchen was very well appointed with everything we needed. Internet was consistent and worked throughout the house. There are multiple gathering areas, the screened porch, the deck, the firepit and the large back yard provided space for games, meals and just relaxing. We took advantage of the supply of firewood to roast marshmallows and enjoy the cool evenings. We were able to comfortably host friends for cocktails before July 4 fireworks, as the ten children enjoyed the game room and yard, the 16 adults were able to supervise from the deck & porch. My dog, grandkids, & I enjoyed frequent walks and bike riding on the nearby, very quiet streets with only minimal hills. We even spotted a bear on two occasions. So, everyone agreed it was a perfect visit to the mountains.

This charming home is set in an ideal location in the beautiful Sapphire Valley Country Club. The natural light in the house welcomes the beauty of the outdoors in and makes the most charming atmosphere. Would highly recommend this lovely home.
