The Nest

The Nest provided a perfect place for our family to gather. We loved having the pool/ping pong table available for rainy days. Plenty of room for everyone, quiet setting, close to restaurants. It was great having access to amenities at the Sapphire Valley resort. We played golf, pickleball and putt-putt and the restaurants there were great! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the memories we made in Sapphire Valley area. The home was perfect for our family. (4 adults and 3 kids). Plenty of space and close to everything.Whenever we had a question Stephanie responded quickly.

We loved spending our Thanksgiving at the nest. We found everything we needed to cook in the kitchen (except a wine key!) The beds, bedding, and towels were high quality, and we loved using the gas fireplace to create a cozy environment. It is easy to access the local Ingles and the town of Cashiers. We used to amenity center one day - you need to go to the welcome center to purchase your amenity cards. Our only suggestion is a curtain over the sliding glass door in the main room and some pot holders! Stephanie, the property manager, provided excellent service. We were super sad to leave and hope to be back soon!

A beautiful place, great location, comfy beds and nice showers. Over all a very cozy place to stay and the property managers went above and beyond to make sure we taken care of and everything was perfect. I would recommend anyone especially with a large group to stay at the nest. 5/5 stars I would give them 6 if I could

We spent 3 weeks in this vacation home, which was in a beautiful, forested setting and enjoyed it immensely. Stephanie, the host, was extremely helpful and responsive, which was a huge plus because it appeared we were one of the first guests and there were a few glitches (how to work the living room lights & ceiling fans, a bear, one planned and one unplanned power outage due to a storm). She got us flashlights, a bear horn and instructions on the lights very promptly. The house is well equipped for cooking and about 15 minutes from the Ingles grocery store in Cashiers. It was very comfortable and recently remodeled, so many of the furnishings are new and all were in good shape. The nearby Gorges State Park has some nice trails and a great education center and there are numerous other trails for hiking in the area. We loved our stay here and will come back. One word of caution: if you are truly terrified of bears, this area may not be the place for you. A young bear came to the house 4 times that we know of and we saw another bigger one while walking the neighborhood. We only took trash out on pick up day to avoid encouraging bears, but this area is their home and the neighbors we met see them fairly regularly. For us, it was a nice treat. Tips on the house: The hot water is reversed at the sink (on the right) in the front right BR and it takes longer to get it there and in the upstairs bath.
