The property was beautiful, neat clean, and well decorated. There are plenty of towels, linens, and pillows. The beds are comfortable and sitting out on the large screened in deck with the fireplace going in the evening gives you a certain type of mountain peace that we came here to find. It is a quiet neighborhood and the roads are walkable although I do have a mobility scooter that is capable of off road so I was able to get around the neighborhood daily. There is a small lake, not far from the house where you can launch kayak or canoes, very scenic and peaceful. The host owners are very responsive and also very accommodating. We would definitely come back in the future.

Our Mountain Oasis

Our family had a wonderful vacation at Our Mountain Oasis. The host responded quickly and had great communication. The house was very clean and very well stocked with anything you could need in the kitchen. The bedroom and bathrooms we’re spacious and cozy. The house is located in a beautiful area in Sapphire Valley and you can walk easily in the neighborhood. We were close to great restaurants, hiking trails, shopping, water sports and golf. After a long day out exploring it was so nice to come back and relax on the screened in porch. We sat outside and enjoyed the rain and sunshine. The cool mountain air was a plus. House is nice and roomy with lots of space to enjoy a puzzle or watch a movie. We look forward to going back again soon. Thank you for letting us enjoy your home!

This place has it all!

As a connoisseur of rentals, this is one of the few places I would absolutely return to... great layout, fabulous porch, tasteful decor and extremely well stocked!We took all our Christmas gifts with us and enjoyed a 5-night stay with lots of hiking, playground fun, game nights, fabulous home-cooked meals, and wine. I can't say enough good things about our stay. Maybe next time, we'll go in a bit warmer clime to take advantage of the porch, even though the floor heater and fireplace made it very hospitable for morning coffee wrapped in a blanket.Dorothy, the owner, was fabulous to work with...very responsive and informative.

Beautiful home and location!

We enjoyed staying in this beautiful home so much! Not only is the house very nice (and so, so clean) but the view is beautiful and it feels very private. The location is perfect. When you're at the house it feels very secluded but it's also very close to so much. We went shopping in Brevard, dining in both Sapphire and Cashiers, and visited several beautiful waterfalls in the area. We loved relaxing on the screened porch with such a nice view. And the large gathering area in the house is so well thought out with separate areas for relaxing in front of the fireplace, watching TV or playing games. Dorothy was very responsive to my questions and so nice to work with. She has really put a lot of thought into making the stay at this home very relaxing and comfortable. And I loved her detailed instruction book! We hope to return for another stay soon!

Beautifully Relaxing!

We booked our stay at this beautiful home and are already wanting to go back! In wanting to plan a short getaway we also wanted to help the area of the Western NC Mountains that had recently sustained so much damage from Hurricane Helene. The home sits where the views are amazing, private and just a short drive to activities. The ability to open the double doors that separate the inside from the screened in porch creates such a relaxing atmosphere. All the rooms are well appointed and allow everyone privacy or gathering together. The owners put a lot of thought into items that would make this feel more like a home than just another vacation property. Every detail was thought out and even provide an extremely detailed guest information book. We ended up staying at the property the majority of our time because of the relaxing environment and all the extra things that are available use (games, fireplace reading, gathering, grilling, etc). From my initial contact with Dorothy she made the whole process of renting her home so easy!

Really a Home Away From Home

This property checked the boxes for our family spring break trip: dog friendly, quiet, and 3 bedrooms with a bonus of a bathroom each. Dorothy was extremely responsive and kind. Not having to lug sheets, towels and even paper products and shampoo from PA made it so much easier. We instantly felt at home when we first arrived and the house was much more than a base for all of the activities planned, it was a place where we wanted to spend time. Fortunately, the weather was nice enough to enjoy the deck for the first 4 nights and, after a cold front came through, we spent the last 2 nights indoors by the fire. We were lucky enough to have 4 bear sightings - 2 on arrival day while enjoying dinner on the deck and during an evening walk in the neighbor's driveway and 2 down the road from the house going in and out on our last day. Since there was not a hot tub onsite, which was on our 13-year old's wish list, we headed to Sapphire Valley Resort. The cost is $5 per day (14 and over, 13 and under are free with an adult) and you can purchase for just 1 day or as many as you like. No one under 14 is allowed in the hot tub, sauna or weight room so he swam in the indoor pool instead. We also played foot golf, which was an extra fee but very fun. The location is ideal for hiking, visiting waterfalls and checking out the local eateries. We took advantage of the kitchen most of the time but really liked Slabtown Pizza. This truly was a stress-free, relaxing time and we hope to be back!

Perfect house for couples traveling together!

The mountain oasis had every thing we were looking for. Our top needs were met: large, cozy and comfy spaces to gather together in (inside and out on the magical deck), a well stocked kitchen for our love of cooking and 3 lovely bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom. The kitchen table was great for meals and game playing. The fireplaces and the propane space heater kept us able to sit around for hours with ambiance and warmth! Outdoors, we found many awesome hikes in the area, shopped locally in the charming area and played pickleball a few times at the recreation center we had access too. Dorothy was wonderful to work with!!! So much more I could say… Thanks, Mountain Oasis, for a perfect vacation experience!

We enjoyed the screened porch with a nice view and the amenities that were included - pool, lake access, track and basketball court. We had a bear visit in the front yard which was exciting!
