Summary: We had a wonderful stay in North Carolina at Fern Hollow Cottage over Thanksgiving! We love Sapphire and the surrounding areas. There is so much to do and see for our family. The cottage was a fantastic place to stay and is wonderfully accommodating. Being a short-term rental owner myself, I have become fairly critical of places that we stay with our family. Fern Hollow Cottage was the nicest, cleanest, and most well-equipped property we have stayed at in recent years. It checked all of our wants and needs when searching for a mountain house and we would gladly return in the future!
