    The house was the perfect size for the two of us. The house was very clean and the beds have high quality mattresses. We loved the location. The house felt very private, yet close to grocery stores and other attractions. We enjoyed being right on the river. We did a lot of fishing and had great success. The only negative for us was the traffic noise from the road out front. A lot of cars and big commercial trucks use this road, They also drive very fast on this road, so be aware. The traffic starts very early in the morning so if you are a light sleeper you may want to use the noise reducing machine by the bed or even bring a pair of earplugs. A couple suggestions would be to provide a set of bowls for serving food and maybe making your coffee area a little more inviting, Providing a variety of K-cups and tea bags would be a nice touch. All things being said this was a long overdue vacation and we had a great time.

    Two things let me to this town. One was the view of the river right in front of the rental, the other part was that it is so close to silver falls (and other falls) which are driving distance but still very close proximity to the house. The owner is an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish, I even wrote her during the trip to tell her how much we loved it. The home is beautiful, what you see in the photos is exactly what you get. This was our first trip to the mountains & Sylva was such a beautiful, friendly town to have randomly picked. About a 6 hour drive from where we live, but loved it SO much we plan to visit hopefully again next year and we want to rent from her again! It’s a perfect location, close to downtown Sylva. Shopping, food, and hospitality was amazing. I can’t say enough nice things about our experience. Thank you to the owner for recommendations and accommodating such an amazing stay. We’ll be back!

    This is a clean, new, and well appointed cabin that was in a good location for our foursome to spend a few nights as we played 3 rounds of golf at nearby courses. Would be better suited for couples as the two king beds and both bathrooms are on the lower level. We had to utilize the twin beds upstairs (with no bathroom) to accommodate four adult men but we knew that when we booked it and chose it because of the other amenities.

    Overall we had a very nice stay. We enjoyed getting in the river. The fireplace and hot tub area was very nice. Sharp turn to get into the driveway which was steep. Inside of the home was very nicely done. Everything was clean. Only recommendation would be to add a TV in the 2nd bedroom. We had brought a portable DVD player so we had that to use in the 2nd bedroom. Host was friendly and quick to respond to any messages. The town of Sylva was not very far away. You do get some road noise, but with a fan or the sound machine wasn't enough to disturb sleep. If you do take kids use caution with the road as many cars drove well over the speed limit for the road. The river had pretty easy access once you crossed the road. There were several fisherman who parked in front of the home (no fault of the owner). Would stay here again if visiting the area.

    This was an enjoyable trip. We often go to Western North Carolina. We just love this area and the Tuckasegee River is beautiful. The cabin is very comfortable and close to Sylva for amenities. But you can be out fishing in no time.

    We really enjoyed our stay at this home on the river. The house was comfortable for our family of four. We were able to cook dinner with a well set up kitchen. Coffee on the porch each morning was great. The road noise was expected and didn't bother us too much. The outdoor fireplace and hot tub were a nice addition. The owner was very responsive and understanding.

    The absolute perfect place to stay in the mountains! The view and sounds of the creek were worth the stay alone! We had a blast enjoying the hot tub, grill, and board games almost every day. Everything was very clean and organized. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and we definitely will be back! The only thing that didn’t really effect us, but could effect others is the driveway. There is no way we would’ve made it up it without 4wd.

    Husband and I enjoyed a chilly non white Christmas on The Tuck. It is literally right beside the house and the house is literally right beside the road.Family came for Christmas Day and then other family came a couple of nights later for a grilling of steaks dinner. The fireplace keeps you warm and presences itself a beautiful glow as I read my Richard Paul Evan’s books wrapped in a wool blanket. My husband was happy with the span of water he was able to fish. Note: you’re not alone of this stretch of The Tuck.The house is new and very comfortable for a week’s stay. We made it a priority to have reservations at Ilda one night, beautiful food by the way. First Baptist of Sylva had a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service that was a blessing to all that attended.Great location for some shopping, visited Waynesville, hint, don’t forget to check out The Kitchen Shop. We hit all the Fly Shoppes as well.Happy New Year

    I like to stay here when visiting my son at WCU. It is very close to the school and everything you need. Love having a fire overlooking the river. The only downside can be you will have traffic noise. However, I have found a lot of the homes in the area along the river have this. The owner has sound machines in the room to help with this too! Perfect touch! Will be back again.

    We had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving! If you are wanting to trout fish, this is the place! Walk right across road and fish all day. My guys even caught a couple 20” brown trout. Home was wonderful, clean and met all our needs. Would definitely stay again and/or recommend this property.

    We enjoyed our long weekend in this house very much as it was a good combination of convenient location to town and area activities, etc. but also in a very scenic location with a lovely view of the river. We enjoyed all the amenities that come with the house. I did see in the listing where it discussed potential of road noise and the house is indeed on a busy road, but we adjusted to it quickly and it wasn’t an issue. The extremely convenient location was worth it. We appreciated the opportunity to stay.

    Very nice property, well maintained, very clean! Communication with the owner is top notch! Did not use the hot tub or the outdoor fireplace, but both looked very nice and if we had more time would have definitely done so! The only negative is the close proximity to the road and the associated road noise, but still manageable. Will definitely keep this location on our list of places to stay!

    Best house we have ever rented through VRBO! Layout is wonderful, amenities are wonderful, location is fantastic! The road out front is a little busier than we expected but not a big deal. Sharp turn and slightly steep climb into the driveway, but backing out was relatively easy and most traffic would stop to let you out. The outside fire place is exceptional with the grill being a great added touch! We will be back and would recommend to anyone!

    I can't say enough amazing things about this cabin! We've stayed at several VRBOs, but none have been as accurately represented as this one. It exceeded our expectations and is even better than advertised. The cabin felt newly constructed, tastefully designed, and spacious, with charming touches throughout. Tucked into the mountainside, it offered stunning views of the river, where we even swam with the kids. The cabin perfectly blends modern conveniences with rustic mountain charm. It features keyless entry, WiFi, and smart TVs, which the kids loved for streaming movies at night. The fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed, and the mess-free electric fireplace in the living room added a cozy touch. The outdoor covered pavilion, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, was our favorite spot to relax in the rocking chairs at night, although we didn't use the fireplace itself. While the cabin is near a road with some daytime traffic, the nights were relatively quiet, allowing us to fully enjoy the serenity of this incredible site. It's about 15 minutes from Sylva, a charming town we had never heard of but now adore. As Floridians, we wished we lived closer so we could visit more often. I'd rent this cabin monthly if I could! Kimberly was an outstanding SUPERhost, extremely responsive and helpful. We have nothing but great things to say about this cabin and can't wait to return. Next time, I'm bringing my fishing pole!

    We spent the week in the woods playing in waterfalls and hiking. This was the perfect landing spot for us each night. Close to town but felt like we were in the middle of nowhere.
