We're so glad you had a wonderful experience! It means a lot to know everything from check-in to cleanliness lived up to a 5-star stay. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
This cabin was so wonderful, loved the deck with rocking chairs overlooking the creek. It was perfect for our family’s last vacation before moving my daughter in at WCU the same weekend! We enjoy the set up and it had really neat decorations which gives it character and cool pieces to read too. The sunroom was my kids favorite with the records and player. I think the biggest enjoyment was the bathroom toliet with the cleaning system!!!!! They got a kick out of that but found it refreshing 🤣 I feel like there was always someone on the pot 🤣🤣

We’re so happy you had a great time in our favorite place. I wish your daughter the best of luck with school. It’s a great college town. Please think of us when you come to visit your daughter. We would love to have to stay with us again.
The “potty thing” is my doing. I love it but in the winter is soooooooo cold. Hahah
Thank you so much for the great review it means a lot to us.
Sincerely
Jon and Debbie.
This tucked away location was PERFECT for our mountain getaway. And listening to the creek out front was so peaceful. We can’t wait to stay here again next year!

Thank you so much for staying. It really gives us great pleasure to share the beauty of the mountains and that wonderful creek.
We enjoyed our trip to stay in Cherokee! The cabin was great and had everything we needed. We loved playing down by the stream and enjoyed all of the swings and rocking chairs outside!

From the owner: "Thank you so much for your review! I love taking naps in the hammock. The creek makes that place pretty unique. Plenty of mountain-top cabins, but very few like this one!"
This was the perfect home base for all of our weekend activities. It was the perfect distance from all of our destination's, it had a beautiful view and nice quiet area for relaxation.
These was a beautiful and quiet little place to stay. My children loved the creek! Best part little cell service so we got to spend time with each other!

Nice cabin for a vacation
These was a beautiful and quiet little place to stay with plenty of room. My children loved the creek! Best part little cell service so we got to spend time with each other! My wife, 4 kids (10,11,13,14) and myself really enjoyed our time together.
We loved our stay! Great location to many towns! Cabin overlooks the beautiful creek, which was enjoyed by the family. The kitchen has the basic necessities to cook a meal. The cabin makes you feel at home. There is plenty of games, etc to keep the kids busy. Parking at the cabin is tight if you have more than one large vehicle. We plan on visiting again in the future!

From the owner: "You’re right about Sylva. It really has become home for us, and we think it’s one of the best towns anywhere. The creek was a big reason we bought the place, and we love it when guests enjoy it too. Parking can be a little tight, but like you said, at least it’s flat. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we’d be glad to have you back anytime to enjoy both the creek and Sylva again."
This place was amazing. It was perfect for our family of four adults and a 4 year old.
We cooked on the BBQ and in the cabin both.
It had everything we needed. We made use of the deck, BBQ, creek, swing and hammock.
It is very peaceful and no comparison to a hotel.
I highly recommend this cabin. So relaxing!

What a great cabin for kids! Our kiddos (2-8) loved playing in the creek, collecting rocks, and staying cool! Easy drive to Cherokee and Sylva. Cabin had everything we needed! We will be back!

From the owner: "I love it when people bring there little kids. I put that swing out in front just for them, (but I like it as much as them.) I look forward to having you back."
Beautiful cabin. Well stocked with cooking supplies. Very clean. Beds were pretty comfortable. I enjoyed every morning having my coffee on the deck listening to the creek. Close to everything and everyone we were visiting. We all very much enjoyed staying here and would love to stay again next time we come down.
The property was literally in the mountains. The sound of the creek flowing was relaxing. Comfy beds, full kitchen, and excellent wi-fi! Convenient to town. Very clean. Dont change a thing! We will be back.

From the owner: "Thanks, Jimmy. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as we do! It's one of those special places that few people know about."
My family (and dog) loved this house! The house was very clean, we had no problems with our stay. My boys enjoyed the loft as their little hideout. I think my favorite was the creek and swings. It gave us something to do on the property during down on vacation. I loved watching my boys and dog play in the creek and pushing them on the swings.

We had the best time ever. We are definitely coming back!! We were able to be ourselves. Sat outside on the porch and listened to the creek. Kids loved the creek and all the swings. We went during the burn band so we couldn’t use the fire pit. That didn’t matter to us. It was such an amazing place to call home for the weekend!! Thank you for opening up your home to us!!
Our stay was amazing the only issues we had were the trash was over flowing but was taken off the next morning and the little area at the door smelled like old beer (we just left the screen door propped open) we loved that it was near a lot but not in the middle of it all 15-30 minutes from tons of things. Really enjoyed our stay and all the family time it allowed us with no WiFi and hardly any cell service it was exactly what we needed. Thanks !!
