Sapphire Hideaways' High Heaven Who lives at the top of that mountain? YOU CAN!

Welcome to High Heaven Hideaway — a guest-favorite 5-star private home from Sapphire Hideaways, tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains at 4,133 feet. This stunning, secluded retreat sleeps groups or families comfortably with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and about 4,000 sq ft of air-conditioned living space. On a clear day (or night!) the views stretch more than 60 miles — locals say it’s the best view in the area.

What you’ll love
- A gourmet chef’s kitchen fully stocked with high-end appliances and plenty of cookware — perfect for quick breakfasts or special dinners with friends and family.
- Open, two-story living spaces (this is a true two-story home, not a converted basement) with vaulted ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.
- Huge decks on two levels with cable railings for unobstructed mountain and lake views — catch spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the deck chairs.
- Elegant, comfortable bedrooms designed for privacy and restful sleep. The home has a master and two bedrooms on each level.
- Luxurious master bath featuring marble tile, his-and-hers sinks, an oversized jetted tub, and a marble shower.
- Fun extras: full-size pool table, full-size ping-pong table, theater-style recliner seating with a large flatscreen, and a telescope (please supervise children).

Special features
- Beautiful bamboo wood flooring and high-quality furnishings throughout.
- Large pantry, mudroom, laundry areas (main level and additional laundry on the lower level), and a pet area.
- Two outdoor fire pits plus an indoor fireplace for cozy evenings.
- A pretty ranch-style front that opens into a spacious two-story interior.
- Water features: a waterfall runs beside the home and there are two small waterfalls along the driveway.
- On clear nights you can even spot Clemson University stadium lights, and from the back decks you can see Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee.

Renovations and layout
The home has been remodeled top to bottom with no expense spared. The main level flows easily between the kitchen, dining, and living areas — ideal for large family gatherings — and the lower level adds extra living space with a kitchenette and entertainment areas.

Come stay with us
High Heaven Hideaway was created for family time, comfort, and memorable mountain views. We’d love to host you and show you everything Sapphire and Cashiers, NC have to offer.

A few notes
- Please supervise children when using the telescope and around outdoor features.
- There is a 3.5% non-refundable fee for credit card payments.

Thanks for looking — we can’t wait to welcome you to the mountaintop soon!
— Kim, Sapphire Hideaways

The house was absolutely beautiful. The host had EVERYTHING you could possibly need in the house. We were in town for our daughter's wedding and we couldn't wait to get back to this beautiful home to relax and enjoy the firepit and the gameroom. Everyone said they slept great ana the beds were very comfortable. I could have stayed there for the rest if my life and been very happy .

The Perfect House

This house was truly ideal for five couples, each enjoying their own queen or king size bed. The arcade games, pool table, and ping-pong table brought endless joy! The kitchen was abundantly equipped with pots, pans, silverware, and cooking utensils, enabling us to create delightful meals as we were snowed in. With everything we needed at our fingertips, our group of ten thrived together! The views were breathtaking, enhancing our unforgettable experience. We had an incredible time!

A trip to remember

This house was absolutely stunning. So clean and that VIEW is breathtaking. We enjoyed cooking and having breakfast and dinner outside on the balcony. The game room was perfect for our group of 8. So much to do in this house. We were just sad we couldn’t stay longer. The decor in this house was beautiful and just so comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Perfection!

Nestled perfectly in the Smoky Mountains, High Heaven with its stunning views and all the amenities you could possibly want or need, did not disappoint. The owner was just as excited about our stay than we were. She made us feel welcome and at home during our stay. The bedding is luxurious and the kitchen fully stocked. The place is tastefully decorated and super clean. The downstairs was a fun place to hang out and I loved being able to hear all of the waterfalls that are on the property. Perfect for large family and/or group. I definitely recommend and hope to be back.

Wonderful place with everything you need to stay entertained. The view is amazing! We loved the layout and how they setup the bedroom space. Very comfortable for sleeping and the bathrooms are done up perfect. Kim was fantastic to deal with and very responsive. It’s another reminder of why we don’t use hotels anymore. We will visit again and I just ask that anyone else who stays there to take good care and respect this beautiful place for future visitors!
