As other reviews have said, the internet is pretty rough. As the TV is all streaming services, it was kind of difficult to adjust to no background noise at times. In other ways, it was great to disconnect. It would be handy if there was some kind of way to have multiple outlets in the loft. Charging 2 phones and 2 watches was a bit tricky when trying to keep with our normal routine. We made it work though. The rest was amazing. The location is perfect. The river is an amazing place to read a book next to. If you venture out, Forager's Canteen in Sylva has a wonderful chicken sandwich. We just happened to be there right before Thomas the Train days at GSMR. I was able to see Thomas drive by, which the teacher in me loves. I am also a huge fan of US Marshals/The Fugitive, so being across the river from the train wreck scene was super cool. We will definitely be back if we need a place to stay in Sylva.
