This was our second stay here. It was another remarkable visit at this location! Always super clean and the hosts are very responsive! We love the view of the mountains and how peaceful the location is. Most of all they allow our pups to join for a small fee! We will be back! This location is close to Cherokee River walk which the dogs enjoy and an entrance to the Blue ridge parkway. Also a quick drive to Pigeon Forge Tennessee (once 441 is back open).

This cottage is lovely!

Chuck and Sandy were the best hosts - so gracious, so on top of everything. The home is immaculate and while I almost never rent a house that doesn't have white sheeting and duvets this was clean and beautiful and very new feeling. The only thing is you have to know the hill up is quite steep and you shouldn't rent unless you have 4 wheel drive - saw someone getting stuck at the top of the hill. Road and driveway are steep but we had no problems at all.

WCU Graduation Trip

This place is OUTSTANDING! Every single detail has been thought of in this cabin…everything! This place was spotless upon arrival. Porch lights were left on as well as a light inside. The jacuzzi was hot and spotless. Beds are comfortable, towels plentiful, kitchen very well stocked, board and card games, robes and slippers…so peaceful and quiet!! The roads are a breeze and nothing to worry about at all. Host are very responsive to any and all questions. We have made too many trips to count to the Whee (20 minute drive from the cabin) over the past four years and we are so disappointed we didn’t know about this place sooner. We won’t stay anywhere else moving forward!

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!
