    The Sapphire Falls Alchemy home has a beautiful location high above Fairfield Lake in Sapphire. The home was clean and the floor plan allowed ample space for our group of eleven. The view from the home was amazing.The kitchen was very well supplied with all the items on would need to prepare meals for a large group including the main dining room table that could seat up to 14 people. The home style is that of an Arts & Craft design. The bed mattresses were very comfortable. Because of the home’s high elevation, there isa 10-15 minute drive to reach Highway 64. We had intermittent rain throughout our stay;however the hot tub and game room activities Allowed us to stay occupied. One day it actually was 53*F and we were able to use the outdoor screened porch with a fire in the stone fireplace We enjoyed our stay and travel to this area every year.

    The house was beautiful, clean and the view was breathtaking. In fact, no one wanted to leave during the day. Lots of space for everyone to spread out. Beds were very comfortable. We’re already planning a return visit next summer.

    We all had a great time during our stay at The Alchemy this year. Even though the hurricane had come through the area, everything was back to normal. We would love to repeat our stay next year.

    Wonderful view and beautiful home, bit of a hike to get up to the house through the neighborhood but one you are there you don’t want to leave for the views. Watching the smokies and it’s differing weather personalities.

    This is a beautiful mountain home perfect for a large family vacation. The views are GORGEOUS! However we did have some maintenance issues with the septic tank and one bath being unusable our whole stay. And the hot tub was not serviced until the very end of our visit. The Hinson’s

    We very much enjoyed our time at the Sapphire Falls property! The view is absolutely incredible, and the short walk to the falls was a great little adventure! The house provided all appliances we needed to have a fire going most of the weekend, grill and cook our meals, and entertain ourselves! The hot tub and property are immaculately maintained, and the space is very high quality and so so lovely! We would absolutely be back, and we would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy quality time with a bigger crowd!!

    This is great home, well built and appointed with a beautiful view. Everything was great for our party of 12 college friends that have been convening for almost 60 years. We did encounter a couple of issues: there are several ADA issues that need to be addressed: there is no hand rail on either of the front entryway steps (after the first fall, we made sure there was always an extra hand to hold when entering or exiting); none of the showers had grab bars, even adding them to half the baths would greatly improve safety. We were disappointed that the beautiful big grill had only two functioning burners and noted that the rugs in the room above the garage where we stayed were curling at the corners and almost caused a spill on several occasions. Last but not least, the Book of house rules, explanations, etc. was highly Asheville-centric with little to say about Cashiers-Highlands environs (which was why we selected this Home in the first place) These suggestions are offered in light of our overall delight with our stay in the spirit of improving the next patrons stay.
