About the host

Hosted by Cole

Host profile image
Originally from Winston-Salem, my wife and I attended WCU and lived in Sylva while we were in school. After being away from the area for years, we decided that we wanted to build a special place in Sylva to be able to use when we want to visit the university. Our hope is that our home will be used by other members of our WCU family when they come to visit!

We design and build custom homes professionally, so it was fun to put our own spin on all the details of this home!

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is quiet, but has easy access to the four-lane. With paved roads in the neighborhood, all vehicles can easily make it to our home.

What makes this property unique

The Arrington is a one-of-kind, custom build. From design concept to completion, our team made sure that our special touch was added to every aspect of this beautiful home.
