This is a clean, new, and well appointed cabin that was in a good location for our foursome to spend a few nights as we played 3 rounds of golf at nearby courses. Would be better suited for couples as the two king beds and both bathrooms are on the lower level. We had to utilize the twin beds upstairs (with no bathroom) to accommodate four adult men but we knew that when we booked it and chose it because of the other amenities.

Fly Fishing Cabin

This was an enjoyable trip. We often go to Western North Carolina. We just love this area and the Tuckasegee River is beautiful. The cabin is very comfortable and close to Sylva for amenities. But you can be out fishing in no time.

Great Thanksgiving Getaway

We had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving! If you are wanting to trout fish, this is the place! Walk right across road and fish all day. My guys even caught a couple 20” brown trout. Home was wonderful, clean and met all our needs. Would definitely stay again and/or recommend this property.

Little Slice of Heaven

This property was AMAZING! It was beautiful inside and out! We loved having the hot tub and the fireplace just a step or two from the house. The layout was perfect and it was just what we needed for our family! Location to downtown Sylva and Cherokee was great as well.

Cute cabin in the woods

We spent the week in the woods playing in waterfalls and hiking. This was the perfect landing spot for us each night. Close to town but felt like we were in the middle of nowhere.

The house was the perfect size for the two of us. The house was very clean and the beds have high quality mattresses. We loved the location. The house felt very private, yet close to grocery stores and other attractions. We enjoyed being right on the river. We did a lot of fishing and had great success. The only negative for us was the traffic noise from the road out front. A lot of cars and big commercial trucks use this road, They also drive very fast on this road, so be aware. The traffic starts very early in the morning so if you are a light sleeper you may want to use the noise reducing machine by the bed or even bring a pair of earplugs. A couple suggestions would be to provide a set of bowls for serving food and maybe making your coffee area a little more inviting, Providing a variety of K-cups and tea bags would be a nice touch. All things being said this was a long overdue vacation and we had a great time.

Lovely place!

Very nice property, well maintained, very clean! Communication with the owner is top notch! Did not use the hot tub or the outdoor fireplace, but both looked very nice and if we had more time would have definitely done so! The only negative is the close proximity to the road and the associated road noise, but still manageable. Will definitely keep this location on our list of places to stay!

Very Comfortable Home

We really enjoyed our stay at this home on the river. The house was comfortable for our family of four. We were able to cook dinner with a well set up kitchen. Coffee on the porch each morning was great. The road noise was expected and didn't bother us too much. The outdoor fireplace and hot tub were a nice addition. The owner was very responsive and understanding.

We spent five days at the cottage and it was outstanding. The weather was ideal and the fishing was great. The cottage itself was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It couldn’t have been better. This is our second stay there and we will be sure to return. Without question five stars!

Fantastic River Side Getaway!

The absolute perfect place to stay in the mountains! The view and sounds of the creek were worth the stay alone! We had a blast enjoying the hot tub, grill, and board games almost every day. Everything was very clean and organized. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and we definitely will be back! The only thing that didn’t really effect us, but could effect others is the driveway. There is no way we would’ve made it up it without 4wd.

Summer getaway

My family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin. It was the perfect summer getaway for us. My husband and daughter enjoyed fishing and swimming in the river. We were able to cook breakfast every morning and grilled dinner every night at the cabin. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch and relaxing in the hot tub. It is located on a very busy road but, it didn’t bother us!

Clean, easy access to river, and well-stocked!

We had a great family getaway here and enjoyed fishing and tubing on the river. We loved the hot tub and outdoor fireplace for hanging out in the evenings. The house is clean and well-stocked, especially the kitchen. Kimberly was easy to reach and responded quickly. She is so friendly and the check-in/check-out process couldn't have been easier. Thank you again!!
