    House was well kept and close to everything you need. The outdoor fireplace was a nice touch as the weather was turning cooler. Can’t wait to stay there again!

    We had a wonderful stay at Summit Haven! The home was beautiful. It was well equipped with a lovely kitchen, great bathrooms, and garage. The porch with a fireplace was perfect. The most amazing thing though was there was an incredible mountain view from every window. The golf course was amazing, as well as the hiking trails. The club amenities were as described. Shopping was close in either Sylva or Waynesville and they both have historic downtowns. We had a wonderful time!
