This is a FABULOUS house!! EXCELLENT location, beautifully appointed, with the most magnificent wooden beams and ceilings. The Living area is beautiful and oh so comfortable! Our family (grandkids and adult children), and friends have loved coming to the Mountain House for 5 years, we love it so much!! Donna is lovely, gracious, and accommodating. She responds immediately if we have a question or problem (we have NEVER had anything major). She has a super, well stocked kitchen where we have enjoyed many meals, a wonderful porch, for chatting and "chilling" in the mornings, noon and evenings. The bedrooms have excellent mattresses and the decor is rustic with a flair!! The pingpong table downstairs is fun for both kids and adults. The grounds are beautiful with a lovely butterfly bush outside the kitchen window. Cherokee Trail is WONDERFUL for walking and exploring, either UP hills or not!! I particularly love her yard, as it is safe for kids or us "older " visitors! (no steep driveways or cliffs)!! I cannot say enough positive things about the" Mountain House" and hope to be there again next year!!

Wonderful stay! Loved the fire pit and the fabulously stocked kitchen. Really enjoyed our long weekend get away!

The house is beautiful! It was perfect for our 11 guests since it has luxurious accommodations for all, unlike other listings that have a master, maybe a bedroom or two, and then pull-out couches and bunks that allow the owner to claim that it can sleep an army of people. Every room is immaculate, on theme, and inviting. The attention to detail in how the house was constructed as well as the decorations and furniture is on point. Several great gathering spaces including the main living room, open deck area and screened in porch. That screened in porch was so nice that it inspired us to include one of our own in our home addition plans.

The house is exactly as advertised! There is room for all and plenty to keep the little kids and “big kids” occupied. WIFI is great but cell service is pretty non existent all around the area, so if you will need to make calls for any reason keep that in mind. No issues with WIFI at the house. Great location and access to all kinds of activities with the amenity cards (pool, hot tub, zip line, mini golf, etc). Events such as bingo, root beer socials, etc all offered through the resort. Easy drives to cashiers, highlands, brevard, white water rafting, horses riding, tubing etc. The kitchen was better stocked for any and all your cooking than my own! Loved the house and we had a great family vacation with folks from 11 yrs old to 75.

This is the first year my family and I have stayed in Sapphire Valley — we usually stay in Highlands. The house had plenty of rooms and tons of space. The location was perfect, too. I could walk our 2-year-old to the country club or community center easily. We had a ton of rain this trip unfortunately, so having access to the Sapphire Valley indoor pool was perfect. Highly recommend and will be returning!

We had the best time with friends and a bunch of toddlers! Plenty of space to sleep with closets and floor space for pack & plays. Great room perfect for board games. Great porch and deck for morning coffee and afternoon naps. Enjoyed cooking in every night with a well stocked kitchen and S’mores at the fire pit. The location is awesome, only a 10 minute drive to town versus some mountain houses that are super remote or buried way into developments. We had a great time and would stay again!

This vacation home is great for families. The house had plenty of china, silverware, and cooking utensils for large family meals. There are numerous sitting and eating areas. The game room in the basement was great. Our favorite place was the screened porch. The host always replied quickly to any of our questions.

Loved the house and area

Most family members had never spent time in the Smokies, and loved the temperatures, scenery and activities. For our family, this was a most memorable trip. The property was perfect: privacy when needed and wonderful ambience. Top rate!

This house is an absolute gem!! It was clean and well stocked while also being very cozy with unique furnishings. Beds were very comfortable, rooms were spacious, and the location was perfect. Donna was a great hostess and quick to respond to messages. We definitely plan to come back again!

This cabin was everything we were hoping for and more! Very very spacious and every amenity you could ask for. When we first arrived, one of the smoke detectors was beeping. We contacted the owner and she had someone out within 30 minutes! The house is in a ski community, but was very quiet. Definitely felt like we were up in the mountains by ourselves! We will definitely be rebooking this house in the future!

We all loved the house and decor. Donna thought of all amenities that we could possibly need. We were all impressed. We all had a wonderful time and highly recommend the Mountain House. Thank you Donna Paulson! ❤️

We spent 7 nights at this amazing property in Sapphire Valley. We chose it for the 6 Bedrooms to accommodate all of our family comfortably. We were extremely thrilled with the quality of the house upon arrival. It was described accurately in all of the information in the posting as well as what was sent to us by the owner but it definitely exceeded our expectations. All the rooms including Bedrooms, Kitchen, Game room,etc were very well stocked with everything you can imagine needing. I will not bring any books next time as it basically has it's own library and I look forward to reading some of the titles. They even have a full range of baby/toddler equipment which was very much appreciated. Donna, was attentive and communicated with us throughout our stay when we had questions. It's a great wooded property with privacy within a neighborhood. The Fire pit was our favorite as well as the large stone fireplace in the Great room. The only negative was an issue with the WiFi and not getting phone service at the house. We would most definitely recommend this house especially to large groups and will be looking for a time to come back again soon. Cheryl Florida

Wonderful time, beautiful home, Great Girl's weekend.

Wonderful home for celebrating a wedding. Wonderfully equipped, comfortable home with all the comforts of home. Would love to come back!

Always try to get this house when we are coming to Cashiers

This home is gorgeous with thoughtful furnishings throughout. Great location to enjoy Sapphire amenities. Comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen.

4 th year in a row;We love it!

We loved our time in this beautiful home! It is equipped with everything that a family can need to make it a home away from home. We celebrated 2 birthdays as well as the 4th of July during our stay. The neighborhood is beautiful; the bedrooms are comfortable; and the home is perfectly appointed. The cool mountain air was a welcome change from our hot summer. We hope to be back in the near future! Thank you for the great communication and hospitality.

We have rented many homes for family gathering but this was by far the most like home. All of our family are aspiring chefs and great cooks. The kitchen is very well equipped with most anything you could need. There are vases to display flowers and everything to set a beautiful table. The bathrooms and towels were perfect. We truly enjoyed our stay and the outdoor seating areas. We highly recommend a stay in this lovely home.

We absolutely loved this house. It is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. There were 10 of us and there was space to hang out together or spread out for quiet, relaxing time. The swing on the screened porch was perfect. I spent way too much time on it reading, talking, and enjoying the quiet surroundings. The kitchen was very well stocked. The beds in were so comfortable. The house had plenty of extra towels and blankets so it felt just like home. Donna was very responsive and great to work with. We would LOVE to come back again soon.

You name it this place had it. This house had every leisure activity already there from cornhole to backgammon. It was very clean and we very much enjoyed the firepit at night. There were plenty of comfortable rooms and close to all types of activities. We rented a boat in Lake Glennvile and werent to far from some amazing hiking. Also, very close to Cashiers with about a 18 minute drive to the Highlands. This is a GREAT family property. We will be back!

This property was as advertised. Beautiful, well maintained home in a beautiful area. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Awesome vacation!

We stay in this house every time we visit Cashiers if we can One of best vrbo experiences we’ve had

Upon arrival, inviting warmth and comfort surround you in what feels like home but better! A delicious chocolate flourless cake and a wonderful bottle of wine tipped the welcome into high gear. We wanted a home close to Canyon Kitchen, where we had reservations to celebrate my husbands 65th birthday. Our family, including boyfriends was a full bodied 9 plus a 16 month old. Because of different reasons several were not able to come and we had to cancel our reservation at CK. Sooooo we created our own Canyon Kitchen at Donna’s home and it REALLY came through for us in EVERY way possible. Donna has everything a crowd, a cook, a birthday party needs. We had THE BEST TIme!!!! Wine on the screened-in porch while on the swinging bed, listening to the wonderful rain. Fire going in the main room, several cooks preparing in the kitchen, to others setting a magnificent table. Many rentals are short on one thing or another. Donna’s home is like being at home. There is plenty of everything! Plates, bowls, serving pieces, napkins etc etc. and everything makes sense. I could go on and on. This home is fun for every age! Soooo many many amenities and then there is the lower level. Ping pong, foosball, games galore, comfy too. Highly highly recommend!! Donna is wonderful to work with too!!!!:)

The home was absolutely amazing and stocked with everything you could ever need and more. The property is gorgeous and the neighborhood was so great. We will definitely book again!
