Excellent property with a separate space in the basement for our teens. Less than a 10 minute drive to WCU which was super convenient for us! Great view and had everything we needed to cook and relax. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Hope, It's always great when fellow Catamounts enjoy our property! The additional basement space is one of our favorite amenities as well. We can't thank you enough for the kind words and hope to host you next football season!

Beautiful Views

As always, we love the cabin it is in a beautiful convenient location for all things Western Carolina. It is just close enough to scoot over and visit a college student but far enough away that you can avoid the campus if that's not while you are there. The upstairs bedroom remodel looks so good. Thanks for hosting us again.

Great experience from start to finish. The property is great and super close to WCU. Our family had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is equipped better than most short term rentals. The Keurig coffee maker that also has a 12 cup drip coffee pot was a nice feature, especially since there were filters stocked in the cabinet. Thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin is close to WCU but feels like you’re completely away from everything. It’s tucked up in the woods on top of the mountain, and you can’t see any neighbors. The huge wraparound porch with all the rocking chairs was probably our favorite part. The foggy mornings were beautiful and so peaceful.The cabin itself was very comfortable with a clean empty kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms. The basement game room was a great bonus with a pool table, wet bar, and a whole closet full of games. All the beds were queen-size with nice bedding, and the fans worked really well in every room.We had a great stay and would definitely come back!

Cindy, We're glad to see you enjoyed your stay and you got to experience the "Smoky Mountains" in all their glory. The wraparound porch is our favorite feature and I'm glad to see you enjoyed it as much as we do. We hope to host you again in the future.

Great family gathering to see our child in college at WCU.

The views were magnificent and the cabin was decorated nicely. Kitchen had everything we needed and enjoyed the family area downstairs in the game room.

Sylva cabin

The home was perfect for our stay. Exactly as described. Comfortable and cozy! Very clean with comfortable beds! And the view was awesome! Spent much of our time on the deck!! It was just a short drive to downtown Sylva and close to Asheville and other small towns as well as the Blue Ridge Parkway. Perfect location!

Pretty view

We enjoyed our second stay at Mountain Ridge cabin. We like the fact that the cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood that feels very remote but is near many of the things we like to do in the area, as well as restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. The cabin is comfortable and cozy, and the views are really pretty.

Mountain Getaway

We spent a magnificent week here. We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The cabin was so clean and comfortable. The deck and the Mountain View's were beautiful. We welcomed spring with wild turkeys walking by and lots of fishing. We appreciated all the extra touches in the cabin that made our stay so nice.

Great location, views and very clean

We were in town for a WCU graduation and needed a place to stay. The home was very clean and well equipped. We were able to make dinner for 5 people as the kitchen had everything we needed. The huge deck had beautiful Mountain views with comfortable rocking chairs. This place would be great for a much longer stay and would certainly accommodate many more guest.

Beautiful view of the mountains

The view was wonderful! The cabin was equipped with plenty of cookware, dishes and glassware which we appreciate since we eat most meals in. The only complaint I would have is the carpet is in need of a good cleaning as is the upholstery on the sofas in the living room.
