    What a wonderful stay! the screened in porch is a total gem. Truly. Can’t beat it. We spent much of our stay enjoying the deck. The kitchen is labeled so you can find everything you need. Home is very clean and comfortable. High chair, pack and play, and baby gates made our stay with our 1 year old so easy. The hosts are very responsive - and if you need anything, they will take care of it. We even decided to stay an extra day because we weren’t ready to leave. And don’t forget to use the hot tub! Would absolutely stay again.

    The cabin was gorgeous….Beautifully decorated for the holidays with a Christmas tree and festive decor. The view of the mountain from the porch was stunning and the cabin was very clean and cozy. Comfy beds, stocked kitchen and thoughtful extras like detergent, shampoo, garbage bags etc. We enjoyed playing board games and lawn games and using the firepit for smores. Maria and Kevin were very communicative and responsive from booking questions all the way through checkout. 10/10 Thank you for a memorable Thanksgiving vacation!

    This house met every expectation for our first trip to Sylva. Every room was equipped with things to make your stay comfortable. We had everything we needed (and then some!). The kitchen was fully stocked and we cooked most of our meals at home. The beds were extremely comfy as well as the furniture. It's very close to a lot of things as well-downtown Sylva, tubing/kayaking/rafting at Dillsboro River Company, 20 min drive to Bryson City for the Smoky Mountain Railroad and other fun activities! I could go on and on, but Kevin and Maria are 5 star hosts who were very quick to respond and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

    Our stay at this beautiful, NC mountain home was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the mountain views and peaceful atmosphere. The home itself is immaculately maintained and offers all the comforts one can ask for. The kitchen is full equipped making it easy to prepare meals while the bedrooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. One highlight was the screened-in porch where we enjoyed morning coffee and evenings drinking wine and watching the lightning bugs. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive providing detailed instructions and local recommendations. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this mountain home to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
