Near Hiking & Skiing: Sapphire Home w/ Lake Access

Reviews

• Great location

  5/5

  The house, property and the amenities were fantastic! The only thing I had a problem with is that the housekeeper did not visit the property between the last renter and us. No clean towels, no clean bedding and dishwasher was not clean and emptied and the counters were very dirty. It probably sounds trivial but after a 12 hour drive, I definitely did not want to do laundry and make up the 3 beds. Normally I bring my own shampoos and soaps but did not this time and there wasn’t any nor was there laundry soap to wash the past renters mess. Luckily there is an Ingles about 15 mins away! I have a problem paying a cleaning fee when I had to clean before even getting to enjoy my vacation. Other than that we really had a blast and would rent again

  Decorated in the farmhouse style with personal touches.Very clean and central location.Wheelchair accessible.Safe neighborhood.It is not in a remote location so if you prefer to be near shops and restaurants it’s the place to be.

• Family getaway in the woods

  5/5

  The property is as pictured. We had 4 adults and 4 children from 4-12 with us. There are 3 bedrooms that would accommodate 5 adults with various options for children as they can sleep anywhere. The house is very homey and beautiful and the fireplace was well used and enjoyed by all. The exterior gazebo, fire pit and pond were very charming. Reading other comments about this property I can understand some of their dislikes as with ever home there is going to be maintenance and repairs necessary but for the location and price we were extremely pleased with our choice. On a side note if you choose to check out on a Sunday make sure you take the trash to town on Saturday as the dump facility is closed on sundays.

• A Rip Off

  2/5

  HAD TO LEAVE THIS PROPERTY. This HOUSE WAS MISREPRESENTED ON VRBO. IT DOES NOT SLEEP 8 PEOPLE. TWO OF THE "BEDS" ARE VERY THIN FOAM CUSHIONS. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE TRIED TO CORRECT IT UNDER THE DETAILS SINCE WE HAVE FILED A CLAIM. RODENT FEECES WAS IN THE MASTER CLOSET UPON ARRIVAL. HOUSE NEXT TO NOISEY ROAD WHICH THEY DO NOT DISCLOSE. TRASH CAN BROKEN, GRILLE DIDN'T WORK. POCKETS DOORS ARE A FIRE HAZARD THEY GET STUCK. SPOKE WITH OWNER WHO AGREED TO REFUND US ALL BUT TWO NIGHTS, AND SHE DID THE OPPOSITE, ONLY REFUNDED US FOR ONE NIGHT. I'M IDISPUTING THE CHARGES. DO NOT GET DUPED BY THIS DISHONEST OWNER!

  Hi Lynn, we want all of our guests to rest easy, and we're sorry to hear that this house was not all you expected.
  - We have updated the listing to ensure all sleeping options are clearly stated, and we apologize for any previous confusion.
  - The listing includes a map so that guests can see the approximate location and proximity to the road before booking.
  - The homeowner confirmed that the trash can is not broken. They also let us know that they will address the pocket doors and the cleanliness concerns.
  Thanks for taking the time to leave a review; we will continue to work with the homeowner to provide a great stay for future guests.

• Summer vacation with grandsons!

  3/5

  It took about 6 hours to cool the house, both grandsons were stung by yellowjackets walking to the front door!! My husband found the nest and brought some spray to try to kill them, but they were still there when we left, we just used the back door! Overall it was a pleasant stay!
