The spacious master bedroom is located on the main level. Two additional guest bedrooms and a full bathroom are located upstairs. The lower level includes a game room (including a pool table and ping pong table) as well as the 4th bedroom and additional full bathroom.

You're only minutes from golfing, indoor and outdoor swimming, lake, tennis, community game room, fitness center, hiking, waterfalls, restaurants, and breweries. Enjoy Sapphire Valley Ski Resort and Tubing Park during the winter months. You'll have to come back again and again to fit it all in!

The home comes with the option to purchase Sapphire Valley Resort amenities (these amenities are not at the home). They are in a separate drive-able location. You may access amenities for $5 per day or $25 per week*. Your amenity card will allow access to 2 outdoor swimming pools, indoor heated pool, 2 hot tubs, wet sauna, exercise room, arcade, ping pong, pool table, outdoor miniature golf, “Foot Golf”, horseshoes, basketball courts, tennis courts, playground, walking track, picnic tables, firepit, gem mining, community center, organized excursions, a 9-hole (par 3) golf course, Fairfield Lake boating amenities, and discounts on lift tickets and rentals during ski season.

Fiber optic internet has been installed in our neighborhood which gives us very fast WiFi! Great for using all of your devices (and all of our smart TVs!). This is not available in all areas of the mountains so we’re excited about the addition! We also get great cell service.

This home has a ring door bell which includes a camera to monitor the exterior of our home.

Two twin size rollaway beds are included for additional sleeping spaces.

The closest grocery store is Ingles (6.4 miles).

Highlands also has a wide variety of delicious restaurants (17.5 miles). Please always be sure to contact the restaurant directly before visiting. Some restaurants in this area are seasonal and closed during certain months.

Panthertown (4.6 miles) and Gorges State Park (6 miles) both offer beautiful hiking.

*The current fee for the Sapphire Valley Resort amenity card is $5 per day or $25 per week, per person. The cost is controlled by the resort and subject to change.

Sweet Hickory is a sweet spot
We enjoyed a long fall weekend with our family at Sweet Hickory. Everyone had plenty of room and the outdoor deck with fireplace was an awesome spot to spend time together. The property is easy to get to and had plenty of parking space. The host was very communicative.

Second stay as good as the first!
Our family and friends loved this home as much as we do. Easily accommodated the 8 adults in our group. The management company responded quickly to a small plumbing issue and to our request for additional firewood. Would highly recommend this property!

Outstanding Family Get Together Location
I was looking to book a pleasant, mountain home ideal for relaxation and some fun things to do for my grand kids. This was the perfect spot for that and more! We especially enjoyed the wood-burning fireplaces as well as the ping-pong table and billiards table. The home was spacious and easily accommodated the needs of the 7 of us with room to spare. The owners obviously pay attention to the many small details that make for a special place to vacation. The owner was especially helpful and timely when I had questions. Highly recommended!

Fantastic Vacation Home
This property is wonderful with everything to make your stay comfortable, cozy and to cook for a group. The kitchen had everything you need, including a gas stove. The beds were super comfortable, the bathrooms were awesome and the outdoor fireplace was stunning. The view is beautiful and having access to amenities at Sapphire Valley Resort was fun. Hiking trails not far, along with easy access to Cashiers. Our host was very responsive and friendly.

Girls Trip ‘23
We are a group of college friends who gather every year. This house was absolutely lovely. We love to sit on an outdoor porch with a fireplace and this was perfect for us. Loads of wood for us to burn too! This kitchen was the best equipped we’ve ever enjoyed. The only issue we encountered was road noise as trucks climbed the double switchback on 64 - only slightly distracting.

Beautiful Mountain Retreat
The house was amazing! Plenty of room for everyone, and it had all the essentials. Quiet, peaceful, and with plenty to do in the area. There was something for everyone—boating, fishing, hiking, swimming shopping. It was also close enough to Biltmore for a day trip. Whiteside Brewing is a must for a good meal. The chicken tenders and pretzel bites are amazing! Excellent communication with the host when questions arose. Would definitely recommend booking.

Cousin Time in the Mountains
This was a great house to combine our two families. Four adults, four cousins, age 8-12, and 1 small Australian Labradoodle thoroughly enjoyed the home. The lower level/basement set up was perfect for the kids to hang out, play pool and ping pong, and play video games. The upper outdoor deck and fire was perfect for evening talks and roasting s'mores. TV's in every room made watching sports and movies very easy. We did enjoy the Sapphire Valley golf, tennis and pickle ball as well as the kayaks and paddle boards at Fairfield Lake. The other amenities such as the game room, fitness center and pool at the Sapphire Valley Resort, were somewhat disappointing. Also, the neighborhood is very steep and wooded, which made it somewhat difficult to walk the dog, but we remedied that by driving her to the track at the resort center. The area kept us busy with hikes and even a trip for white water rafting. The home overall was clean, comfortable and well stocked. The home owner was extremely responsive and communicated well. Overall, it was a great experience for all of us.

A Beautiful Place to Stay
We had a wonderful time in Sapphire. The house is nicely decorated and has everything you need. We have stayed in many vacation rentals, but this home was the best stocked with linens and cookware, and cleaning supplies. It was like staying someone’s home. The communication with the owner was great. The ping pong table and pool table was an added bonus for the grandchildren. The restaurant recommendations were greatly appreciated. We highly recommend this rental.
