Second stay in three months and hope to have more opportunities when visiting the area. The location is very cozy and convenient for using it as a base for venturing out for visiting nearby waterways, waterfalls, and the various lakes for fishing or mountain ranges. Relaxing atmosphere for kids, adults, and pets. Prompt responses if and when questions or needs arise.

We loved this property. It was clean and spacious. It was close to Sylva and WCU. Only downfalls were pillows were a bit flat for us and beds a bit hard. The steps appeared to have some kind of stains or scratches but that didn’t bother us. The tv in the living room is a little small for the space but once again not a huge downfall.Our only negative review is that we got locked out of the house. We went to breakfast and when we returned, the code wouldn’t work. I was on the phone for 20 minutes and instead of someone answering my call, someone beeped in to try to help. The code was changed and then worked but we were locked out for about 30 minutes with no assistance. There is a key in a lockbox but you have to have a code for that also. We truly enjoyed this property and have actually booked the same one in November.

Great house. Couldn’t figure out how to start the indoor fire place. Also the 10 digit code to get in was a little much. Overall the house was great for what I needed.

It was the perfect place to enjoy time with the family. The decor was perfect, beds were comfy, kitchen had everything needed to cook and entertain. Loved the back porch where you can hear the sound of the stream flowing by. A perfect mountain getaway to relax and enjoy family time.
