Quick Vacation
My mother and I had a fantastic time at this property. It is one of the most conveniently located properties that I’ve stayed at in Silva. The home was clean and comfortable, and the host was very easy to communicate with. I would recommend this home to anyone visiting the Sylva area.

This is a cute little cottage in a quiet neighborhood very close to downtown Sylva. All needed amenities were provided. Communication with the hosts was top-notch. I especially appreciated that the appliances and fixtures have all been upgraded. I couldn’t ask for a better stay!

Charm Galore
My husband, pup and I loved our stay at this charming cottage. Everything was extremely clean, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location is perfect - we love the great restaurants in Sylva, it's close to WCU and a quick drive over to Bryson City and rafting on the Nantahala. We will definitely stay again.

Smoky Mountain Get Away
The cottage was perfect for my husband and I, we loved that we could walk to downtown Sylva. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to play a round of golf at the Smoky Mountain Country Club, and bringing home a bushel of fresh picked apples made my day. Thank you.

Work/Play Weekend
The house was really well situated and pretty much everywhere we wanted to go was walkable. It was a short, easy drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking as well. The house was well appointed if a bit spartan. There was some trouble with a couple of the appliances and (maybe because I was tied up with work for ten hours on the day the trouble appeared) we had trouble working that out. Overall, it was a pretty good stay.

Sylva
The location of this home was perfect! We walked down the hill each morning for the best breakfast sandwiches and coffee at White Moon! We could walk into town for dinner and walk home, it was great. We had some really great meals and unique drinks all within walking distance. The home was very clean and it was nice to find the basics such as paper towels, toilet paper, soap, etc. There was even a few K cups for coffee. Great owner communication about check-in and to make sure everything was acceptable.

Clean, cozy, comfortable, and relaxing home in a great location, quiet neighborhood. New update appliances, great internet service. Plenty of room for family and dogs. Walking distance to downtown Sylva, NC. Great walking area for dogs. Park down hill. Nice clean backyard with grilling area (gas grill). Definitely planning to book again for next visit if available hoping to explore Main Street shops. Owner friendly and helpful. Quick response when contacted.
