    Loved seeing the old photos and antiques. Lots of character. Most of the 'flaws' come with the territory of renting an OLD cabin. However, the mattress is very worn. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

    The next door neighbor (or owner’s shed not sure which) has a pile of trash with old dog crates , plastic bins, stove, refrigerator, among many other items in clear view. (Where the tractor is in the listing photos.) You see it from the windows in the living room and on the deck. The outside no longer looks like the pictures. It needs to be cleaned, the deck has busted and rotting boards with screws sticking out ( we easily pulled one out because we kept tripping on it), two of the chairs are rusty and peeling paint, just a basic sweeping would work. The side door frame had been kicked out (… I unfortunately didn’t read all of the reviews and noticed this happened in May of 2020.) It has not been repaired instead a door lock wedge, a hinged lock with a stick in it, and two door stoppers are used to keep it from opening. The inside was fine. The fridge has been updated and it was nice to have cable. There were 2 rolls of toilet paper for 4 people for 8 days. It could be a lovely setting with a few tweaks. The little things like the toilet paper and broken wood stove etc wouldn’t bother me but with everything else its too much. I do not recommend.

    The place was great and clean and well stocked. However, the kitchen sink leaked all over the counter and the tub leaked into the bathroom floor.

    This is a true Rustic Cabin in the woods off a good dirt road that was very clean and had exactly what you needed. I was disappointed the wood burning stove didn’t work as that is why I chose this cabin.

    Very quaint, quiet place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and, even though older, was very well maintained. The age of the place added to the nostalgia.

    Great and cozy little cabin, just hope they do a little better cleaning the edges for spider webs and change some underbed linens. Otherwise everything else was just a described. Thank you!

    Very cool place! Everything is just as it says in description. Very comfy cozy. Very clean and private. My only suggestion would be to install a tub/shower unit. I know the claw foot tub is nestolgic, but its not really practical. Overall we loved the place. The road leading into property REALLY needs work!

    This is a very cute cabin tucked away in the mountains. The perfect place to stay for history/antique fans such as myself, there was so much cool antique furniture and old pictures from when the house was first built. The drive up is a little precarious but overall not too bad and the signage made it a lot easier to find! I took my partner here for their birthday and had such a great time exploring downtown Sylva and then coming home at night to a peaceful quiet cabin in the midst of the beautiful mountain forests. Also a good deal for the price if you value privacy and a unique vacation experience. Definitely would return!

    Loved this place, it was historic yet had all the modern amenities. It was peaceful and remote, exactly what we were looking for while in the area for a professional conference at WCU.

    This cabin was awesome. We lived the history that was shared with photos. The cabin was nestled far back in the woods, so much privacy. We will definitely book this one again. Thank you.

    We loved the area and how secluded in the mountains it was. Things were updated such as TV, Fridge, Stove. Etc. our only complain would definitely be the beds in the home. They are very uncomfortable and need to be swapped. Just really cheap feeling mattress. If your a super firm springing bed type of people it will be perfect but had trouble sleeping with stiff body on these beds. Could also provide updated cooking supplies blender mixers etc. we love to cook and grill and didn’t have the things to have that were expected to be in a place like this. Bath tub could be replaced as well or just updated. Other than that very nice home very nice area. !! Will be returning and hope next time will have everything the right way.
