Very cozy mountain vibe great for relaxing!

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.

Nice woodsy cabin by a creek. It’s a bit precarious to get down to the creek but we were too busy to get to spend time at there anyway.

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."

Can't Wait To Go Back 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!

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.

Perfect family getaway

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!!

The husband wanted secluded

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 !!
