Fairway Forest by Coolvacay

10/10 Excellent

"We were so pleased with our accommodations! The lady at check in was super nice and so helpful. We were so pleased with our room! It was so spacious, and we loved that it had "master" area downstairs from some privacy. My grandchildren loved the indoor pool but were disappointed that they could not get in the hot tub because of the age rule in place. We stayed here to attend the WCU game which was just a short drive. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. We just needed more time to take advantage of all of the opportunities Sapphire Valley Fairway Forest offered!!"
