Comfortable, cozy place to stay

We stayed here because it was close to WCU and am looking forward to staying here again. The views are breathtaking and the house is clean, comfortable and relaxing. It is close to restaurants and shopping.

The property was great. The host, Nancy, went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. She made a special treat for our daughter who was graduating from WCU’s PT School.

Bike Ride Weekend

My husband and I were in Sylva for the NC Mountain Bike Ride. This cabin fit our needs perfectly. It was close to downtown, very clean, the kitchen was stocked with plenty of pots and pans. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our time here and would most certainly recommend this location.

Short Winter Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in Silva. The house was everything that we expected, it was very clean and had everything we needed for our quick 4 night stay. Small quant and quiet town that made it easy to go explore with only a short drive back at the end of the day. We skied at Cataloochee, visited Cherokee, stopped at a few waterfalls, saw elk along the way, Jackson County Library was beautifully decorated, and toured The Biltmore. Nancy was easy to work with and was quick to respond, you can tell she takes great pride in this rental property.
