Cozy and convenient
Cute and cozy little place. It is a dated property, but has a certain charm about it. Access to the property was easy and it was conveniently located to shopping, dining, exploring, and the casino. The hosts greeted us upon arrival, and even offered up fresh eggs! And that 65" TV was amazing!

Loved it!
My husband and I stayed three nights with our dog. The property was perfect for us. The kitchen was well equipped and was even stocked with some basic essentials like coffee, spices. The property was clean as well. The queen bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and stocked with toilet paper and plenty of towels. We enjoyed having a small porch to sit outside too. The yard is small, but nice. The house sits on property with a main house very close by, but we did not ever run into anyone, so our privacy was not compromised. Yet, comforting to know the owners were close by if we encountered any issues, which we did not. The property sits right off the main street where there is a lot of traffic, yet it is buffered by lots of trees and plants, so you barely noticed. We loved being close to lots of hiking trails where we could take our dog hiking. Our communication with the property owners was responsive and courteous. I would recommend this property! Thanks for letting us stay.

The homeowners were were friendly and welcoming. (They even brought us fresh eggs from their chickens!!! Yummy!!!) We had a great weekend and have nothing negative to say about this rental.

Charming cottage tucked away on quiet property and close to nearby mountain village with quaint shops and dining areas. Beautiful scenic views and hiking areas in the area. Gracious host- offered us fresh eggs and provided welcome gifts. Clean with ample kitchen and living supplies. Soft, comfy beds, and appealing decor that created an enjoyable atmosphere. We absolutely loved it and will be coming back to visit!!

Adorable guest house in Sylva
This unit is a small house on the owner’s homestead. It was comfortable, cute and clean considering it’s apparent age. The hosts were very warm and helpful. We really enjoyed having a kitchen and living room unlike at a hotel. Our teenager even enjoyed feeding the family’s chickens. We would definitely stay there again!

Enjoyed it
Two night stay as a home base was great for us and the two kids. Kids loved the chickens, cats, and Netflix. Wife and I enjoyed the area and price. Owner provided gifts for us and the dog. A/C struggled a little to keep up with the heat sometimes in the bedrooms but it was during a heat wave. Took us a little extra time to find correct driveway but eventually figured it out. Overall a great low key place and we will be back!
