Great place to stay

This is a beautiful home with plenty of amenities. The location was great, only a few minutes from WCU's campus. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

What a wonderful relaxing place

Casablanc is the ultimate relaxing mountain cottage. With serene semi secluded private community, but still close to restaurants, shoppes and Western Carlina Uni. We always enjoy our visits and the staff at Sundog takes care of everything! Choose Casablanc for your next mountain getaway!

Beautiful home!! Nicely furnished, great location close to WCU. Thought of everything, even had umbrellas and rain ponchos. Wish there was a Keurig! Would love to stay here again! We think the driving directions could be a little better - possibly indicate the addresses that are passed on the way to the property.

Short family School Trip

Great house. Clean, quiet and comfortable. Close to WCU but far enough away to feel a little secluded. Would definitely stay again!

Great Property, Great Location

This is a great property and the house was very nice. The only negative is there are no blinds or curtains in the master bedroom, which was very annoying. Aside from that, it was a great place. If there were blinds in the master, I’d definitely stay again.

Fall in Cullowhee

Perfect time to visit - fall foliage in full effect!!!!! The house is gorgeous and has the perfect location! Top of the mountain but not a bad drive but still has great views. Feels secluded but has neighbors that you can't see or hear. A quick drive to everywhere - 10-20 minutes to all other small little towns and about an hour or so to other bigger towns, Ashville, Hendersonville, etc. The restaurants and shops in dwntwn Sylva are AMAZING!!!!! Don't miss the drive along the river to Webster....absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cullowee Casablanc Cabin

Absolutely beautiful home, and view. Even had fast internet. Off the grid feeling while only being about 15 minutes away from a large store. Perfect for a weekend getaway, we stayed a while week. The property management team was very accommodating with our last minute booking, and very communicative. We ran into a few issues, but nothing that affected our stay in any significant way. Highly recommend.

Peace

The neighborhood is serene, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching and listening to the birds and enjoying the breeze. The cabin is close to the lovely town of Silva, which has wonderful restaurants, and Lake Glenville is at the top of the mountain, where we took a fabulous pontoon tour. The cabin has all the amenities of home, so remaining there, simply relaxing and spending time with family, is certainly tempting.

Ralph, It always brings us joy to see that our guests not only enjoyed the property amenities but local attractions as well. Lake Glenville is a nice treat and we are glad to see the increase in temperature didn't dissuade you from enjoying it. Be sure to keep us mind for your next mountainous vacation, it would be our pleasure to host you again.

Casa Blanca

The property was nice & what we needed for this weekend. The inside appeared very clean and was comfortable with items available that were needed. The refrigerator freezer was not cooling properly and before we recognized that about half of our food items were spoiled. And that contributed to excessive garbage. We were able to use coolers the remainder of our stay. Outdoor area nice but we did not have the opportunity or time to enjoy much of it. Overall very nice accommodations and decor! Parking are in outside was very dark. A light would have made it much safer.
