We had a wonderful stay at this house! The house is conveniently located between Sylva and Waynesville and is right next to the blue ridge parkway. Communication with the owner was great. We would definitely stay here again if in the area!

This amazing home was perfect in so many ways: gorgeous property, unbelievable views off the deck and porch, comfortable BRs, well-stocked kitchen, great gameroom, close to hiking trails and within easy driving distance to Sylva, Dillsboro, Waynesville and Bryson City. The owner Cheryl was the perfect host, quick to respond to any question. Highly recommend!

Perfect cozy cabin

This was the perfect spot for an after Christmas getaway. The cabin was perched on a mountaintop with beautiful views and had everything inside, cozy bedrooms, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and lots of games. We loved it!

Nice cabin, gorgeous views. Cabin location on a gravel road and a bit hard to navigate. The parking was also a little difficult as you had to back down the driveway.

Beautiful homey restful stay with gorgeous view!

We loved all the cozy touches in this cabin. There is a deck and a screened porch and the view is so pretty. We drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and found the cabin right below it. We’ve stayed at several “view” cabins in the area and this was the easiest access we’ve experienced.

Perfect

The cabin is clean and beautiful! It had everything we needed and more. The view of the mountains is spectacular! We especially enjoyed the views while roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. The location was right where we wanted to be. Easy access to nearby towns and the parkway. It was really perfect!

Stunning Mountain View

Our Annual Girls Trip was perfect with our stay at this lovely cabin. Stunning views from multiple porches. It had everything we needed for a long weekend and more! Very close to the Blueridge Parkway for hiking and exploring the mountains. Cheryl was available for any questions we had and was very responsive. We would absolutely return if we are back in the area.

We had such an amazing stay in this cabin. The views are absolutely stunning and the entire property is gorgeous. We kept saying it felt like a magical cottage. It was pure bliss to sit in the cool mountain air while listening to the birds chirp and checking out the view from the porch. The cabin is just as described in the listing. It had everything we needed and more! The host has great communication and was friendly and hospitable. Now that our daughter will be at WCU, we hope to come back for another stay!

We had a wonderful stay at this property!! Cheryl was so attentive and communication was excellent. The house is wonderful! Great views from the porch where we spent as much time as possible. My husband captured a great shot of the Milky Way from the porch! Very private, quiet - small neighborhood, well stocked, and accommodating all around. I left a few pieces of clothing there and Cheryl mailed them to us immediately - received 4 days after getting home. We highly recommend this home for a vacation spot! -Shelly

Beautiful home

We were a group of five senior adults riding our motorcycles. Two couples and a single so the three bedrooms and three bathrooms worked perfectly. Accommodations were great our only issue was the gravel on the hilly driveway. Not Good for Bikers.
