Perfect Location

Very walkable to downtown Sylva and excellent food and drinks. The house is well laid out and homey. Also about 30 minutes to the Smoky Mountain National Park for a day of hiking.

cute, cozy and convenient

This a cute and charming home very conveniently located JUST outside of the downtown area. Walk a block or two and you are on the main shopping/dining street, yet the house feels very separate from all that. It is well-stocked, has a roomy feel for a smallish place, ample parking, and just a comfortable, homey place to spend a few days. The blackout curtains and plenty of full-length mirrors were much appreciated! I would recommend this to others, and would stay here again.

Excellent location to walk into town, where there are wonderful restaurants and shops. Also a convenient location for hiking trails off the Blue Ridge Parkway, and to get to nearby lakes. The local park has Friday night concerts in the summer, which was a nice way to begin our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. The pictures don’t do justice to how cute, clean and comfortable the rental actually is. We had weekend company during our stay and they had the second floor to use as their suite. There was plenty of room for all of us. Although the property is an easy walk to town, it is tucked away on a quiet lot. We will definitely stay here again!
