Great place and would definitely want to go back!

My wife and I stayed there for a week and we really enjoy it. The property is enjoyable and in a nice, quiet area. You can enjoy the covered deck with a water view while drinking coffee without anything bothering you. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a place to stay at Lake Toxaway.

It was a great place to stay for our family! We were able to relax and cook after hiking and exploring!

The whole process was made easy by the owners! Thorough communication and a wonderfully appointed home made our short vacation feel even more stress free. We visited early spring before everything was green again, but saw rabbit, white squirrel, and so many birds. The daffodil and forsythia blooms were beautiful. Will be back in summer!

We very much enjoyed the peace, privacy and comfort of the property. Hosts were wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

Very comfortable and beautiful well appointed mountain home. We stayed at the perfect time to see all the Autumn colors.

The property, home, setting was truly magnificent & so much more inviting than any on-line description. I'm reluctant to overdo our total enjoyment of our "too" short stay, for fear of others discovering this magical haven. We are already looking at available dates for our return visits. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. We WILL be back !!

By chance our family found this hidden gem to enjoy a vacation. The house is located on a small private lake with great bass fishing. The ease and access around the house and property unbeatable. The area is filled with gorgeous waterfalls and hiking to fill your days. If you truly want to unplug and relax this is your destination because there is not a lot of cell service, but that's perfectly ok. You can enjoy the numerous hummingbirds that will greet and amaze you all day from the covered porch no matter what the weather is doing. Only downside would be the distance to drive for groceries and incidentals if needed. Owners were amazing and great to communicate information. They also give helpful tips to navigate a great stay. Will definitely be returning and bringing other family members to unwind and enjoy!

Loved this property. Didn't have the best weather but the spot was great even in the rain. Loved the size of the lake and enjoyed spending time in/ on the water.

Gracious hosts. Much water and waterfall enjoyment.

Nice place to visit.

House was clean and in a quite peaceful area. Wonderful deck to sit on and enjoy the view. Comfortable beds. Ad for place was a little deceiving. The house was not on the lake but a 4-1/2 acre pond, also the house inside had a strange smell that we could not figure where it was coming from.

Blue Lake Sanctuary was better than pictured. The location was quiet and all the greenery and being on the lake added to the relaxing quality of the rental. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the appliances were easy to work with. Lastly, outdoor equipment was easy to find and organized. We would stay at Blue Lake Sanctuary again!

Tucked away on a quiet lake, the cabin was a perfect escape for the family. The cabin itself is very clean, comfortable and roomy. The back deck is a great spot for drinking coffee and watching the sun come up over the trees while listening to the wildlife or playing board games with the family. Day trips are easy with so many mountain towns, hiking trails and waterfalls to see within a short drive.

Nice peaceful place and everything we needed for a quiet, relaxing getaway. Directions were perfect. They are NOT exaggerating when they advise arriving before dark. 😉

We enjoyed our relaxing stay at the Blue Lake sanctuary. The leaves were spectacular. The cabin was well appointed with a comfortable kitchen, master bath and wonderful gas fireplace. It was rainy most of the weekend, but we were able to enjoy the peaceful setting on the covered porch overlooking the lake. The boys enjoyed fishing and kayaking. We would stay here again !

This house was so cute. We loved the porch, plants, yard, privacy and pond access. The layout is a little unique but I loved it. Definitely coming back.

A lovely home to return to after a day of hiking to beautiful waterfalls or visiting the River Arts studios in Asheville. The owners were exceptionally responsive and helpful!

Our family enjoyed a lovely peaceful weekend get-a-way. Blue Lake Sanctuary is just that a quiet sanctuary tucked back in the woods on a small lake. Mornings on the covered porch with coffee surround by hummingbirds & nature was exactly what we needed. A few days it rained and the Covered porch still allowed us to still enjoy the outdoors. It was About a 20 minutes +/- to Cashiers with a cute farmers market open daily to stock up on all your food needs and some prepared dishes , a brewery in cashiers with live music and coffee and shops to stroll around. About 5 minutes from the house was a local place with food and wine we were not able to enjoy but looked fun. Hiking within a 20 minute drive was perfect. We recommend Schoolhouse Falls for a great hike, waterfall & a swim. House had all you need. Porch was a gem! Boats for fishing! One of the bedrooms is connected to the master so great for small children but might be challenging for privacy for 3 couples but worked perfect for our family! Plus home was pet friendly for our pups! :) Would come again!

Nice and quiet. Fishing was good also

Perfect for a family get away. Quiet and low key.

Rest, relaxation, rejuvenation! A nature lover's paradise. Owners are helpful, and communicative. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.
