Storm Updates

View this update in full screen mode here: [Sapphire Valley Resort Info]

This will be our last storm specific update. The Sapphire Valley Resort and area faired much better than the areas to our east. Most shops here and in Cashiers/Highlands are operating business as ‘near’ usual. Resort Amenities are open.

Below are two videos showing the catastrophic destruction at nearby Chimney Rock and Swannanoa, NC.  Also, we provide links to additional resources we recommend investigating.
