Overview ↑↓

Tucked away in the quiet and upscale Sapphire community, Whispering Pines is the ideal sanctuary for a mountain vacation. Sit back on the wrap-around porch, surrounded by the woods, the sound of birds, and the babble of a nearby brook. From the spacious great room with floor-to-ceiling windows to the fully stocked kitchen and luxurious beds, relaxation and memories will be easy. Minutes from Whisper Lake and high atop the area mountains, you’ll find yourself secluded in the Nantahala National Forest, but just 10-15 minutes from beautiful Cashiers.

Access to both Whisper Lake and Sapphire amenities Access to both Sapphire National and Red Bird golf courses Hike through nearby trails or enjoy Lake Glenville

Enjoy a wood fire and listen to music on our extra-deep couch or watch either DirecTV on the 54″ flat screen mounted over the fireplace. All three bedrooms feature queen size beds with their own flat screen televisions, “Pottery Barn-meets-rustic-antique” style, and plush bedding. The master bathroom features both a shower and a jet-bathtub and his-and-hers vanities. Another full bathroom is upstairs and a powder room is downstairs. Listen to your favorite music throughout the house on our Sonos sound system. You’re also welcome to use our AppleTV and Netflix accounts. Six to eight people can dine in the dining room and another two at the island in the kitchen. The kitchen features a gas stove and is stocked with all the spices, dishes, pots, pans, and other cooking utensils that we’ve been able to imagine that you’ll need. We’ve also stocked the cabin with games for both young and old.

Our guests can enjoy both Whisper Lake and Sapphire Valley Master Association amenities (some with a small fee), including access to Red Bird and Sapphire National golf courses, private lake access, canoe rental, fitness center, hot tub, pool, arcade, kayaking, zip line, tennis, miniature golf, and more.
The wraparound deck provides stunning views for 270° with plentiful seating for the entire crew as well as a pathway down to a private creek. But the beauty of the Nantahala isn’t confined to just our corner of the forest – so we’ve taken the time to outline our favorite hikes and waterfalls. We also provide our guests with our own reviews and recommendations for local restaurants, area houses of worship, nearby shopping, and services.

Discover our Yonder Experience Program! Enjoy outdoor adventures, falconry, fly fishing, waterfall tours, and bike rentals.

Favorite Place

Vacation Date: August 31, 2026

"We’ve been staying in Sapphire for years and love Whisper Lake. This is our FAVORITE place so far. So much thought went into building this house. The split log exterior, vaulted ceilings, and pine board walls added extra ambiance. The house is situated so one can spend hours outside on the wraparound deck and the kitchen contained everything one could require to eat in. Also, while the drive up to Pine Forest is somewhat steep, the property’s driveway is flat — a rarity in the mountains.

Comfy, Clean and Spacious

Vacation Date: January 6, 2026

"Comfy, cozy, clean and spacious home with everything we needed to enjoy a week in the mountains The home is located in a beautiful and private community near a private lake and park; We arrived using GPS through a back gravel road and thought it was going to be very remote, However, there is another entry point with freshly paved roads. We didn’t really have time to use the amenities at Sapphire but we visited it 2 years ago and it’s nice to have a little ski area close by. My son wanted to fish/ canoe in Whisper lake but it was a bit too chilly for that. We frequented Ingles and prepared meals in their well stocked kitchen. Beds and linens were very nice and comfy. I appreciated that they provided basic supplies. It would be nice to have an extra set of sheets in the closet . We really enjoyed use of the fireplace. It was a bit too chilly to sit outdoors but they did have a little fire pit area out front. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and felt right at home. I hate when a rental feels like a rental. This place is not that.

Tranquil Cabin with Activities Close By

Vacation Date: August 14, 2025

"We stayed in the cabin with 6 people (2 kids, 4 adults) and our only regret is that we didn’t book a longer stay! We easily traveled to Cashiers, Lake Glenville, Highlands and Brevard from the cabin. We were active during the day and it was a treat to return to a cabin that was tucked away on a quiet street to rest and relax. The cabin is beautifully maintained and the best stocked rental we have ever stayed in (spices, a slow cooker, laundry detergent, ziploc bags, etc). WiFi worked well and we enjoyed using the Roku to stream movies! We had a maintenance issue while we were there, but the Yonder team took care of it quickly and were very communicative. We would definitely return to this cabin again! The whole process was a delight!

For us, this place was spectacular!

Vacation Date: September 16, 2023

"We have been to the area many times but always stayed with friends. So, having our own place was wonderful. I honestly wished I could stay forever. The house was beautiful with a great layout. We spent quite a bit of time on the back deck listening to the birds (one of our favorite things to do). The kitchen had everything we needed (and more) to cook delicious dinners (check out Native Prime Provisions near the Ingles on 64 in Cashiers). The beds were extremely comfy. The WIFI worked great (because there was still some remote work to be done). The place was immaculate and super clean. Parking was easy. The area where the house is is walkable to me but may be a bit difficult for others (a few monster hills). Also, I saw a bear! So, I would recommend bringing a whistle to carry if you do go for a walk. Many great restaurants in the area (Osteria, The Fix, The Orchard, Library and Kitchen). Lots of outdoor activities nearby. Enjoy!

The house is immaculately clean and in perfect order. The furniture throughout is very comfortable and bids you to relax.

The landscaping surrounding the property is beautiful and you will enjoy the large porches in the front and back of the property.

We had two young children with us and they loved walking down the steps in the park-like backyard to a small creek at the bottom of the property. There are plenty of games and videos to keep everyone occupied. A plus was the nice table on the covered porch which offered the kids a place to play their games while the adults could enjoy the music indoors and still keep a watchful eye on them.

So many personal touches

Vacation Date: July 2, 2017

"As you approach the cabin, you quickly realize it’s not a “rental.” The owners obviously spend a lot of time here, and they devote considerable funding and effort maintaining and landscaping their mountain home. The setting is tranquil. It’s located inside a charming community, and it’s the only residence on a short cul-de-sac street. The property is completely surrounded by wooded acreage full of birds and other wildlife. Property access is easy no matter the season – paved from highway to driveway. There’s a short, straight, graded gravel driveway right up to the huge wrap-around porch. Well-built and clear stairs out back take you down to a quaint stream – great for kids to play and imagine. First impression upon entering the cabin is upscale and impeccably clean. The attention to detail is impressive – looks like the home is staged by an experienced broker for presentation to discerning buyers. This is a mountain home retreat complete with all modern amenities, including a Nest thermostat and Sonos sound system controlled by an iPad in the kitchen. The kitchen appliances and washer/dryer are upscale and fully functional. The gas range includes a dual-purpose center burner. Again – not a “rental!” There are tons of kitchen accessory items, including a large crock pot with liners, spices, olive oil, and every utensil you’d want. The owners provide abundant dinnerware, flatware, mugs, and glasses. Don’t hit the grocery store until you’ve surveyed the kitchen! The bedroom furniture is high-quality, including reasonably firm mattresses and extremely comfortable bedding. The bathrooms are stocked with soft upscale towels and quality soaps. The master bath includes a jetted tub, enclosed shower with detailed tile work, two sinks separated by the shower, and padded rugs. Owner communication is thorough and immediate. We felt the owners genuinely wanted to ensure we enjoyed our stay. They provided several offerings and tips to enhance our experience, including notes regarding access to trails and sights that are not generally known to non-locals. We sincerely appreciated their efforts.

As for the exterior, there was a wonderful wraparound deck with sofa and chairs where you could enjoy the the majestic tall trees and peaceful surroundings. You really did feel like you were away from it all. The owner also provided information on things to do in the area, such as visiting the many waterfalls and hiking trails, restaurants and shops. He was very attentive making sure I had everything I needed when I arrived and being available immediately when I had a question or concern. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely go back. Thank you Rich again for opening your lovely home. **The hot water heater was replaced shortly after this review was left and the issue with the jacuzzi tub was remedied**

A lovely cabin getaway

Vacation Date: October 20, 2017

"I’m so glad we were able to spend a whole week here to relax and enjoy the Cashiers area. Whispering Pines is super comfortable and well appointed, with an easy drive to Cashiers and great restaurants. We highly recommend The Library in Sapphire Resort. And Yonder was just fantastic at answering all our questions about the property and getting additional info on where to take our dog hiking and swimming.

A safe and stunning home

Vacation Date: November 18, 2017

"The moment I stepped into the home I was drawn to the peace and quiet. As a single woman traveling with my dogs, I needed to find a place that felt safe and comfortable. The peace and serenity I found here was beautiful. Quiet nights in front of a fire, sitting out on the expansive deck, cooking in the well equipped kitchen. I felt like a treasured guest staying in a friends home. Thank you!

A true “gem” in Sapphire!

Vacation Date: July 1, 2018

"We were so happy to find this gem in beautiful North Carolina. It was refreshing to have a respite from the summer heat in my hometown. The home is lovely, impeccably furnished and spacious. Yonder was easy to work with, though we didn’t need them for anything in particular. I regret that we could not stay here longer but will certainly seek this particular home again, perhaps in the autumn – I’m sure these woods are amazing in the fall. Thanks so much for opening up your lovely home to us.

Warm and Welcoming Home

Vacation Date: July 21, 2018

"This cabin is even better than the pictures on VRBO suggest! These guys are amazing hosts who were so gracious and helpful. My favorite part, however, was how thoughtfully decorated the cabin was. So many of the antiques and decorations were gifts from friends and family, which made the cabin feel like a “home” that we had been welcomed into and not like a “rental”. In fact, while using one of the cookbooks in the kitchen, I noticed an inscription that indicated that it was a gift from Rich’s mother. It turns out that I gave my own son that very same cookbook many years ago! I couldn’t help but feel a little emotional! We will definitely be back!

Absolutely Wonderful – Can’t wait to Return

Vacation Date: September 8, 2018

"My wife and I just returned from an all-too quick getaway to Cashiers and couldn’t be happier. From the moment we turned into the driveway we were overcome with a sense of calm and relaxation that continues even now that we’ve had to return to the real world. Whispering Pines is the perfect place for couples to get away and would be a fantastic spot to bring even a large family. It’s appointed and decorated impeccably with everything you’d need to create memories to last a lifetime from weekend gatherings around the cozy fireplace to elaborate family celebrations at the beautiful hand-crafted dining table. But the best thing about the cabin is what’s not there… noise. Other than the sounds of the wind blowing through the beautiful old-growth trees that surround you, the calls of distant birds or maybe a squirrel rustling through fresh—fallen leaves you’re surrounded with everything you need to unplug and relax. When you do need to check in at home or with the office you’ve got a great wifi connection and fantastic satellite TV to make sure you’re connected as much – or as little – as you want to be. Make sure to try Table 64 for a delicious meal that would go for twice as much were it in a major city. Shopping at small stores and antiques markets is amazing and plentiful. Don’t miss the opportunity to hike Rock Mountain (easy enough of a hike that I saw several 7-8 year old kids going up just fine) for amazing views of this spectacular valley. My wife and I can’t wait to get back. And when we do go back the only reason we would look any further than Whispering Pines is if we win the lottery and can buy a place of our own… and when we do, we’ll hire their same decorator.

Pampered, Peaceful Paradise

Vacation Date: September 30, 2018

"Whispering Pines is a beautifully appointed cabin in western NC. So much thought went into all of the amenities, luxuries, and comfort for the guests. Each BR/BA is accompanied with 2 PLUSH robes, Avalon Organics bath items, luxury linens, and towels. The kitchen has EVERY item you can hope for including spice and condiment staples. Mrs. Meyers cleaning products are stocked in the laundry room and kitchen. Upon arrival, soothing music was playing thru the Sonos sound system in each room, fresh cut greenery was placed in all rooms and the lighting was all turned on so you weren’t entering a dark home. It is just as the pictures are displayed on VRBO. Yonder was in contact making sure our stay was all that we had hoped it would be…it surpassed that! Don’t hesitate to book this cabin if luxury and pampering are what you desire during your stay in the mountains.

Great Place!

Vacation Date: November 5, 2018

"My family had the pleasure of renting Whispering Pines over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. It was just perfect. The feel of the cabin was homey and luxurious. The owners took great care in decorating and stocking the cabin, it didn’t lack anything. The fine details of robes for the guests, music playing when we arrived and the fireplace, ready for a fire were just a few of the pleasantries we noticed upon our arrival. The location was remote and still in the area of convenience to shopping and getting around. We would definitely love to rent again.

Beautiful, well-appointed cabin

Vacation Date: January 9, 2019

"Whispering Pines is a well-appointed, well-decorated cabin escape that is well worth the money. It’s a secluded retreat, but we were far from roughing it. There’s organic soaps and shampoos. The kitchen and bar were stocked with staples. There was almost every small appliance and kitchen gadget you could need—far beyond what most rentals provide. Yonder was incredibly responsive to our questions and concerns. They had an iPad with recommendations and how-tos making our stay really easy. They thought of everything. There are also restaurants nearby if cooking on a vacation is not your thing. The cabin has a great wrap around porch with seating. There’s a staircase down to a lovely stream. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful, Rustic Chic Cabin

Vacation Date: April 13, 2019

"Truly a home away from home, located in the picturesque Sapphire Valley, NC. Close to great restaurants, unique shops & boutiques. Very private, yet you don’t have to go far for an abundance of outdoor activities. The cabin is tastefully decorated, very clean and the owner has gone the extra step to provide their guests with a luxury feel as soon as you walk in. Soft music playing, aromatic soaps and lotions and even robes to slip on. A kitchen with everything you need to get your mountain getaway started. We really enjoyed the Whispering Pines Cabin and would highly recommend it.
