Polar Express with small grandchildren

This property is wonderful. Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Five adults one over 65 and 3 grandchildren ages 4,5 and 6. The kids had plenty of room outside to play and run to get rid of their zombies from the toad trip. Made a pallet in the floor in Nana’s room and all 3 slept soundly. Close to down to Sylva which was beautifully decorated and 20 minutes from Bryson City which is straight out of a Christmas Hallmark movie. The Polar Express was a perfect way to end the evening with the kids, then a glass of wine around the Christmas tree for the adults. Perfect trip with the family and the host was amazing answering all questions and responding to text and phone calls within minutes. We all loved the place and did not want to leave. We will definitely be back to stay here. Karon (Nana)

Perfect Getaway

The location was easy to find by following the “VRBO” signs and had an easy check in policy. The house was decorated for the holidays- a nice, cozy touch! The kitchen was fully stocked with dish ware and the bedrooms had comfortable accommodations. We also utilized the pull out sofa mattresses which was perfect for our party of 5 adults, a child, and an infant. Highly recommend this unit!

Decorator’s Dream

The property was wonderful. Property owner must be a decorator because it was so cute. As a host she has thought of everything you would need for your stay. Very quiet neighborhood and easy to find. There are other houses around but it is situated so you have total privacy and I have to say it again….everything you would need for your stay.
