About this property

Twice upon a stream

  • Summary:

    Located within the Sapphire Valley Resort, fun & relaxation can be expected. After a long day of hiking and exploring, unwind on one of two screened-in decks & let the sights & sounds of the stream calm you. PET-FRIENDLY!



    Lightning-fast ultra-high-speed (Gigabit) Wifi service throughout the cottage! This spacious open-concept home has an additional lower-level family room great for the kids. Situated on a quiet cul de sac- a picturesque one-acre wooded lot that backs to a bubbling stream.



    The Space:

    The home is very well appointed with all the furnishings and comforts of home. Just bring your clothes and groceries! We are pleased to offer 50mbs satellite internet service. There are three "smart" 50" HDTV's- living room, family room, and master bedroom. Plenty of room for two families to share.

    TWICE UPON A STREAM is our storybook vacation rental cottage nestled in the woods of Sapphire Valley in the quaint Holly Forrest 4 neighborhood. No keys to keep up with- all guests will receive a 4-digit door code to access the home.



    Unlike other vacation rentals that simply provide you with a place to stay, we raise the bar and act as your personal concierge so that you can enjoy every moment of your mountain getaway!

We had a wonderful stay at this Vrbo in North Carolina. The location was very convenient, with a grocery store close by, which made everything easy. We especially loved the separate downstairs area—it was perfect for privacy and gave the kids their own space to play and relax. The kitchen was well stocked with all the supplies we needed, making meals at home simple and enjoyable. Overall, a comfortable, family-friendly place that we would definitely recommend and stay at again.
