This place is objectively the cleanest, most pleasant, comfortable, and welcoming place I have stayed in the area. We have a project in the area that brings us in frequently and from now on I will always check to see if this place is available. It has established itself as my favorite in Sylva. I appreciate the home away from home.

WCU visit

We stayed for the weekend to attend our daughter’s graduation from WCU. It was a lovely home. It was very clean and accommodating. WiFi was a little spotty but we knew that before staying there.

Great little cabin with close proximity to WCU and other area attractions

We came to the area to bring our son to camp at WCU and stayed in this precious cabin. The pictures online accurately reflect the cabin and it was perfect. The decor warm and cozy and very clean. It was perfect for our trip. We did several day trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway and explored the little towns in Jackson County. It was also nice that the host had a rack of pamphlets and brochures about the surrounding areas as we ended up using some of this information to plan meals and excursions. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and peaceful

This property is excellent for a couple or other adults with a king bed in each bedroom. Pictures were very accurate. The steep stairs to upstairs bedrooms could be issue if you have knee trouble. Kitchen is great but missing some things you might want to bring- regular coffee maker and blender. The house was spotless- very clean! Nice having washer/dryer on site. The covered deck is a peaceful place to sit and enjoy nature sounds. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Communication was easy and quick responses!
