We had an amazing stay at this cabin on Hogback Lake. The property was clean, spacious and perfect for our family of four. The host, Drew, was friendly and very responsive. We enjoyed fishing, kayaking and swimming in the lake. Further, the property is close to all of the Sapphire amenities, several great hikes and waterfalls and Cashiers. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a lake stay in Sapphire!

Great location between a bunch of great trails and waterfalls. Plenty to do or nothing to do all works out well. The house is very comfortable and spacious. The lake is peaceful and open enough for a quick trip out on the water. We really enjoyed our time and the house!

This was perfect for our weekend trip. The only suggestion I would make is to let visitors know of the steps you have to walk down to the front door. With suitcases it was a struggle down and back up. We had a wonderful while we were there.

The property was amazing! We loved our stay and will be rebooking at this property in the future. The only note I have is that this property has a TON of stairs (107 to be exact) in the back of the house to access the lake, which the pictures don’t accurately reflect. If you have a condition that prevents you from doing a lot of stairs, this isn’t the right location for you.

Lovely lake house. We had a wonderful time. The beds are super comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals. Owners take very good care of the property. The lake is deep and water is clear - great for swimming. Fishing from the dock so much fun for kids - lots of sunfish jumping. And grandpa even caught a largemouth bass! Hogback Lake is serene - almost as if we had the entire lake to ourselves. Very few others were on the water. We would definitely consider a return vacation.
