    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The host was very accommodating to several last minute changes (we decided last minute to bring our dogs), and was a pleasure to work with. Responses were timely, the checkin process was extremely easy, and the step by step directions to the driveway were spot on! The home was a perfect and convenient stay for our visit to the Sylva/Cullowhee area. The views were amazing, and sitting on the porch watching sunrise with a hot cup of coffee is not to be missed! Our labs LOVED the outdoor area.

    Above the clouds was a very welcoming house with a warm cozy feel. The only thing we weren't too fond of is the waterbed type mattress is the main bedroom. It was more on the uncomfortable side.

    We had six guests staying at the “Above the Clouds” property from October 23 (check-in) to October 27 (check-out). Four of us who slept in the three bedrooms on the main floor experienced multiple bug bites, while the two guests who stayed in the basement bedroom did not. I will send photos of the bug bites to Sun Dog Vacation Rentals via email for your reference. Due to the health concerns caused by this issue, we request that Sun Dog Vacation Rentals work with the property owner to immediately address the bug infestation and take proper remedial action. We also ask that the company provide a partial refund for the affected stay. We look forward to your prompt response and resolution. Best regards, Jim

    The property management company was great. Quick responses, clear communication, flexibility on check in. The house itself wasn’t as clean as I come to expect from rentals. Someone had recently stayed with a cat and the fur in the house set off a cat allergy immediately from a guest in our party. Loved the fenced yard though; that was very convenient. The mattresses / waterbed in primary bedroom all seemed to force you to the middle.

    The property accommodated our dogs well with fenced in property and gated deck. The view is very nice and we saw some beautiful sunsets. Close to our family in Sylva.

    We had a wonderful time on our family vacation at this home! It is in the perfect location close to hiking trails and city life so you can do whatever you want. The house is very dog friendly with a nice fenced in yard and porch. The only con is the driveway because of the potholes at the entrance but don't let that steer you away! This house was perfect for our family of six and we had plenty of room even with the dog! Thanks again to the owners for letting us stay in their beautiful home!

    House stocked with every thing you could need. You can immediately tell that the owners have invested in making this home clean and cozy. Perfect for traveling pets with secure fencing in the back yard. Quiet and private. Woodsy with distant mountain views. What a great experience. Would love to return.
