July 2025

Air conditioning was broken/not working and despite being told HVAC service would be provided they never came. We had to spend a significant amount of time troubleshooting one of the mini split units, another mini split stopped working, and the central air never really worked. Additionally, the dryer did not work at all and we were not informed of this ahead of time. We showed up and there was a note that it was broken. So, with a house full of kids we had no way to wash and dry clothes.

June 2024

Family from ages 70 down to a toddler of one gathered and enjoyed this comfortable, well-equipped home in the mountains near Cashiers. We so appreciated the gate for the stairs! We were 7 adults and 4 children. Great screened in porch, kitchen with everything we needed, comfortable beds and sofas, two refrigerators, wonderful big table and owners provided lots of extras for little ones. We never ended up using the Saphire Valley amenities as kids (4 aged 5 down to one) enjoyed walking around the home and playing on the porches and going on hikes. Home was easy to get to, near Ingles and close to good easy hikes. Owner was accessible and helpful, when we had questions/concerns. Great memories made. We would rent again.

We want to thank the home owners and the Evolve team for a wonderful family getaway. The home and location are perfect. It was very quiet and secluded. The home was decorated for Christmas and this made it much more inviting. Again thank you
