    Perfect for girls trip!
    The house was set up so perfectly for a group of 6 ladies that wanted to have space to chat, share food and play cards. The open living space meant you didn’t miss one word of conversation while you fixed a snack or a drink. Loved the outdoor seating areas and pond.

    Very nice!
    The house was very clean and comfortable. There was a very nice outdoor area to grill and a few outdoor areas with tables and chairs to sit out under the tall pine trees. Even though we didn't fish, we fed the catfish in the pond from the nice pier. The host was very responsive to my calls and texts. Would definitely stay again!

    Great cabin
    Stayed at Sapphire Cottage during a hunting trip at Gus Engling WMA. The cottage was only 15 minutes from the WMA, making it a great location. Stayed with 2 aother hunting buddies. The cottage was well stocked coffee, soap, shampoo. Susan was a pleasure. Excellent communication and helpful when we needed assistance. Highly recommend and definitely plan to return to enjoy the beautiful property and great cabin. Susan, thank you do much for hosting us!

    Our family members between ages 63 to 88 spent the weekend together here and had a wonderful time. Between us all, we tote a lot of pills. Made s’mores, saw some huge fish, and laughed till we hurt.Wonderful surroundings. Good food at Rumps bbq.

    Beautiful location
    The property was beautiful. Quiet and private. Loved watching the deer. And the kids really enjoyed the pond fishing. They had items that you tend to forget which was awesome. The beds were comfy and plenty of space was availabile for all of us.
