Top Tuckasegee River Hotel Reviews

Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"It was wonderful. Clean large rooms, easy check in, used the kiosk to expedite check in. It was really easy. Lots to do on the property."

Hotel Sylva

10/10 Excellent

"Love the contact less check in and out and wasn't bothered by housekeeping rushing us out before time."

Cozy Cabin Overlooking Tuckaseegee River Sylva, NC 28779

8/10 Good

"Everything was great in the cabin! Beautiful furniture pieces, lots of games if someone wanted to play, plenty of linens, blankets, and throws for cooler days. “Porch sitting” area is perfect for relaxing and watching the river. Outside lighting is great for returning after dark which was very much appreciated. Well stocked kitchen. Lovely cabin and very much appreciated that we could have taken our dog. We didn’t this time, but maybe next time. Nice yard. Host was very responsive as our plans had to be changed. I have a much larger vehicle. There was a car in the parking area which made it more difficult to turn around for me."

Cozy Mountain Chalet with views, private setting! Near WCU and Castle Ladyhawke

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautiful place! The home was immaculate and the views were spectacular! The host thought of everything- from phone chargers to tooth paste, if something was forgotten at home, they had you covered. The host was very communicative and responded to questions quickly. A wonderful place to relax and unwind, yet close enough to shopping, etc."

Cozy cabin overlooking Dillsboro and miles of mountains

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful view! Clean and all cooking utensils."

Treehugger Tiny Home Cabin by River Near WCU

10/10 Excellent

"This property is PERFECT, especially if you are visiting someone at Western. It’s an easy 8 minute drive to WCU, and less than 20 minutes to Sylva (where all the good food is!). The check in process is super easy (door code to the cabin) and check out was take out the trash, put the linens and towels in a basket and put the dishes in the sink. We have had to extensively clean VRBO/AirBBs before. This was a breeze! :)The price we paid was substantially less than what parents were paying in town for a hotel that was not as clean or quiet. We will most definitely be renting again and recommending it to all of the other Western Carolina University parents!Thank you Faustine, for a wonderful stay!"
