Enjoyed our stay. Liked lying in bed and looking out the big windows and chilling. Missed having a tv though.

We really enjoyed staying in this tiny but well thought out property. The location next to the river was lovely, and the stars were beautiful the night we were here. Communication was good.

Thanks for the great feedback, Strephon! We're glad you enjoyed the property and the beautiful surroundings. It's wonderful to hear that you appreciated the communication. We hope to have you back for another memorable stay!
The cabin was so cute and, even with campground traffic, it was very quiet. It was exactly as described. There was an issue with the water at one point but they were already working on it when I realized it. The parking was a little difficult to get turned around but I didn’t have any issues.

Thanks for the great review. I’m glad the cabin was quiet and matched the listing. Sorry for the inconvenience with the water — our team was already addressing it when you noticed. Appreciate the parking feedback; I’ll add a tip in the listing to help future guests.
This tiny house along the river was a perfect home base for my recent fly fishing trip to the area. The location, just off the Tuckasegee River, was dreamy. Waking up and looking out the window over the river rapids was sublime. Crack open the window and fall asleep to the sounds of the river. The tiny house was simple, and that’s exactly what I wanted. A warm place to stay and to relax after a long day on the river fishing. The location is perfect, with easy access into Sylva and the surrounding communities, as well as easy access to great fishing. The parking can be a bit tight, depending upon how the other guests in the other tiny cabins park, but it’s manageable. I would definitely stay here again.

Location was great, easy to find. Enjoyed falling asleep listening to the river. Bed was cozy. Wish the new hot tub was available to use for my stay. That would have been amazing!
