Beautiful home in a quaint neighborhood with amazing views! The floor plan was perfect and allowed my parents to be on one side of the house and my family (my husband and I and our four children) on the other. The home was equipped with everything we could have needed and more! It was very clean and tidy and the owner offered many suggestions on places to eat and shop and things to do locally with our children. Access to a laundry room was a huge plus when coming in from tubing. The amenities at Sapphire Valley were great too. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again if we are ever in the area!
This house was so perfect for our family! Having the split floor plan gave us privacy near the kids and my parents got peace and privacy on the other side of the common rooms. The first thing we all did every morning was to look at the view of the mountains. My dad and I sat and swung enjoying that view a lot. All of the beds and furniture was quite comfortable and we loved having the fireplace. The location was central to Brevard and Highlands and we were able to do a lot of adventuring with a quiet and restful place to come back to.
My husband and I very much enjoyed our week-long stay at this lovely property with a beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains. The bed was very comfortable, as was all furniture. The bathroom and kitchen were perfectly outfitted with everything we needed, and it was exceptionally clean. We will highly recommend this house To anyone looking for a cool and comfortable stay in the NC mountains!
House was perfect. Well stocked and very comfortable. Great neighborhood and close to resort amenities and restaurants. Host Jason Gillespie was the best Host communicator I have ever delt with. This was truly one of the best of the best. Thanks, Jason, for a great visit.
We had a really nice time. The house is what we expected with a spectacular view. Centrally located to anything and everything fun. Quiet neighborhood and beautiful lake. We highly recommend!
We had a fabulous time at Jason’s house in Sapphire Valley. Some of us played golf and walked the dogs at the dog park. The view was amazing and we loved sitting on the deck to watch the sunset. We had no problem getting amenity cards. Communication was easy and Jason was available for questions at a minute notice.
The house was clean and well appointed. We would definitely come back.
As previously noted, the view from the deck gives this house marks above other houses we've stayed at in the area. We always had a pleasant breeze and lots of wildlife to view including a bear just passing through. The accommodations were exactly as described and very comfortable. The host did a fantastic job of communicating with us prior to and during our stay. Besides adding some comfortable reclining chairs on the back deck, our group gives this property a 10/10. Hope to be back again!

Beautiful
This is the third time we have stayed in this lovely home. Great views, comfortable bed, very clean, everything you could possibly need is there.
A lovely and well furnished/equipped home with the best view of the mountains that I have had in my 4 years of staying in sapphire valley. Jason had our names all ready at the sapphire community desk which made the process go super fast for our use of the lake and the other included facilities. Hope to stay here again. Thank you, Jason.
Perfect mountain home for our family’s vacation! This house is exactly as advertised- very clean, and provided everything we needed. Communication with the owner was very easy and they responded to our questions quickly. We highly recommend this home and we will be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Jason was so easy to deal with and very responsive. The house is super clean and well appointed. We loved the fireplace and the thoughtful supplies in the kitchen and bath. The beds were super comfy. The location is perfect-close to Cashiers and a ton of hiking opportunities. And the view is great. Can’t say enough good things-we will be back!!
We’ve stayed at several different properties in the area and this one is by far superior. This is definitely the only place we will book for future trips. The home is conveniently located, well maintained and very clean. The back deck and view are the best feature. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway.
Great find in Sapphire Valley! Jason was a great host and answered all of our questions. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. The home was very clean. It was close to the Sapphire Valley Resort where we we enjoyed tubing. We also enjoyed some great hikes too.
Really enjoyed our week at Jasons’s property. The views and sunsets are absolutely amazing. Having a king bed in each of the main bedrooms then a kids room with bunk beds was perfect for our 2 families of 4. Will definitely be back!
Well located for the Sapphire / Cashiers area, convenient to everything. Very comfortable. Nice view from the deck. Property is well stocked, especially the kitchen for food prep and food storage. Enjoyed the stay!

About the host
Hosted by Jason Gillespie
Jason & Sharon have been coming to the NC mountains for years but purchased the Whitewater Whispers house in 2021. They have enjoyed spending more time in Sapphire and getting to know the area and using the amenities!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this house when we walked through the door and saw the vast mountain views of the Horsepasture River Valley, and then walked out to the back deck and heard the shoals of the river from the deck. Combine that with the pools, skiing, golf, and mini golf at Sapphire Valley Resort, this has been a perfect mountain retreat for our family. We hope that it is for yours!
