My family and I had a great time staying at the cabin. We were so excited for our trip before Christmas and the cabin decorations were the cherry on top. What stood out to us was how clean, private, and comfortable the property was - exactly as advertised!

Quiet and relaxing, great location

We attended open house at Western Carolina, and the cabin was the perfect location for visiting the school. After a short drive ( 15 minutes) to campus and a long day of walking and touring, we really appreciated the hot tub! A well-stocked kitchen and gas grill made cooking each evening a breeze, especially with a beautiful view of the mountains and a great fire as we cooked. Didn't have too much time for local exploring outside of the college tour, but really enjoyed walking through downtown Sylva and finding everything we needed for meals at Ingles. Beautiful drive home through Cherokee. Looking forward to returning!

Mountain Heaven

The cabin was awesome, just as appeared on VRBO, beautifully decorated, all the things you need at your fingertips, loved the fire pit, the hot tub. Things that were needed was a better road to get up to cabin and more grass for my dog to be comfortable with, I was scared he was going to go straight down the mountain the wrong way, over all it was wonderful!
