We enjoyed the home, and that's what it felt like, home. The screened in back porch was a favorite with the sound of the creek running over the rock in the distance. The kitchen was we equipped and we cooked & entertained during our stay with plenty of everything we needed to do so. The king-size bed was comfortable, although an upgrade in the sheets would make it much more enjoyable.

Great house close to downtown Sylva

Ripple Run is a great house with plenty of space and a cool layout. Nice kitchen, comfy beds, and the screened porch is fantastic for morning coffee or relaxing. Super close to downtown Sylva but also easy access to Dillsboro, Cullowhee, etc. Will definitely stay again if we’re back in the area.

Got away with the pups for a couple of days while work was being done on our house. Perfect fenced in area for the dogs. It’s comfortable, decorated well, clean, & close to town. Everything you’d need is there. Really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely stay again!

Back porch paradise!

The back porch is lovely! There is a little creek out back that is such a soothing sound while enjoying the porch (Donny worry, you can’t hear it inside). There is a gas fire pit that makes having a fire super easy. This a great home and well-equipped.

Lovely creekside home

This was our second time in this cottage, and we already want to go back. We love the open floor plan and the kitchen is splendid -- too bad the restaurants were so good that we rarely cooked! The neighborhood is quiet, and sitting on the screen porch enjoying the fire pit and listening to the brook below is a first-class experience!

Sweet Lane Cottage in Sylva, NC

We love the convenience of this vacation rental. Just a short drive into the quaint town of Sylva. It is a very quiet lane that this house sits on n the neighbors seem pleasant. This is the 2nd time that that our group has stayed at this house. Except for a few minor housekeeping issues. This is a Great Find ‼️ Donna Ball-Metcalf November 1st, 2024

Just as advertised

House was clean & very comfortable. Good location to get to restaurants, grocery. Enjoyed the sunlights in living room. Didn’t like paying the management group over & above the VRBO fees. Won’t stay there again for that reason.

Nice!

This is such a comfortable house - the furnishings and bedding were wonderful! The location is prime; just a few minutes away from the shops and restaurants of both Sylva and Dillsboro. Had it been warmer, the screened porch with the babbling brook would have been a fantastic place to spend a lazy afternoon. We only used the coffee maker and refrigerator, however all appliances seemed top notch. There was an issue with the heating system (most likely due to it being the first time turning the heat on since last spring), but we navigated it.

The town and house setting are great.

Very peaceful and the screened-in back porch is excellent to relax at. The porch was used much during our stay with the central air and fan not working. The television in the living room was already reported by a previous visitor and the property manager was trying to resolve when we checked in. However the tv never worked. Once the central air and television issues are resolved I wouldn't hesitate to stay at again as the house itself and the back porch were great. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, the bedrooms comfortable and the house very clean. The setting is peaceful with Sylva and the surrounding area a pleasure to be around.

My Home away from Home!!!

This Home is everything you would ever want in a place to take a vacation! It’s pristine cleanliness, plenty of room, a pet friendly home with a fenced in yard! I didn’t know this until I pulled up & I was the happiest woman alive! If my 2 babies can’t stay then I don’t stay! The master bedroom was like an oasis! Bed was super comfortable, my hubby loved the pillows! Kitchen was very well equipped. Back porch was amazing! The girls & I sit out there a lot & they had access to the back yard! Great neighbors around us & the only thing I could say about this place would be…it’s not MINE! Lol I didn’t want to leave! So close to the town of Sylva & quaint shops & places to eat!!! I WANNA GO BACK❤️
