Great stay in the mountains

The property was clean, peaceful and well equipped .The mountain view was fabulous every morning and evening . Eating and reading on the porch was wonderful . Only one of the beds was a little hard and could use a soft mattress topper, otherwise we loved the property.

Amazing Mountain Retreat

Lara's place was amazing. The views each morning were spectacular. The hot tub was an amazing feature, and the house was recently renovated to open up the kitchen which was gorgeous. Comfortable beds, and lots of space for hanging out, reading, and lounging. We can't wait to book this location again!

Incredible stay in a beautiful property

Really enjoyed out time at this rental. The views were great, and the coolest part about it was the house itself. Lots of beautiful artwork all throughout the house that makes it a really unique stay. Lots of room to relax both inside and outside on the porch. Hot tub was incredible! Would definitely recommend.

This property is everything my family could have asked for! The house has a lot of great space but we needed up spending most of our time on the amazing porch that has stunning views! The hot tub with the same views was an added bonus! Will stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Lara Conner

Host profile image
Hello. A little bit about me... I am an Artist through and through and this is how I see the world. I have been displaced from my art for a time and intend for this rental to help steer me back. I currently am a counselor for the Cherokee Indian Hospital. I am originally from Florida, and have lived here in Sylva 20+ years. I have adopted these beautiful mountains as my own and am willing to share any information to help your stay be a memorable one.

Why they chose this property

I bought this house because it spoke to my artistic side. It was a fixer upper. I put on a new deck and a new roof. I have stuccoed and painted many of the walls and ceilings. I have also refinished the kitchen cabinets. Of course, I can't help but put an artistic touch on everything that I do. A lot of the artwork and sculpture is my own work. I have put a lot of love into the rebirth of this house and hope you get a chance to see it.

What makes this property unique

This home has all of the amenities without needing to be state of the art. It is very comfortable and clean and has a lot of personality. It is in a convenient and easy location and feels very private. It also has a hot tub that overlooks a fantastic view. Read a book, watch the news, take a nap on the downstairs chaise, soak in the tub, or plan your day's adventure.
