Peaceful getaway

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the home as well as the outdoor areas (front porch and yard swing especially). The kitchen is well-stocked too, which was great.

We loved our stay at Reed House! It was easy to check in when we arrived. The house was even better than the pictures! Close to everything in Dillsboro and WCU. We were there to move our son in for his first year of college. We definitely would love to stay again on our return trips to the area!!

Amazing stay at the Reed House!

The location is perfect and walking distance to several restaurants, shops and a brewery. The home is decorated adorably, was super clean and the beds were very comfy. We loved everything about the home including the little fireplace and the front porch and back patio. We didn't bring our dogs on this trip but love knowing that we can! We will definitely be back!

Pilgrimage.

The Reed House was quaint with lots of character and well appointed for our needs. However, the housekeeping could have been more detailed: baseboards very dirty; carpet lacked vacuuming in the bedrooms; bathroom floors were dirty.

A Beautiful Comfortable Home in The Heart of Dillsboro

We loved the convenience of walking everywhere, the views from the cozy front porch and the relaxing back patio. It was nice having a kitchen stocked with all the essentials, just bring the food! Beds were so comfy and the home was quiet inside at night, as well as during the evening. Each bathroom had shampoo, conditioners, soaps, even a hairdryer! House temperature was perfect the minute we walked in the door! We will certainly be back to visit The Reed House again!

Quaint and cozy winter getaway

We absolutely loved staying in this quaint and cozy home right in the center of downtown Dillsboro. The yard was fenced and perfect for our 20lb pup to investigate and zoom around in. We were there for a snow storm and thoroughly enjoyed watching the snow fall from in front of the living room fireplace. The owner was very communicative and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Will definitely return!!

Charming and convenient

We loved the porch and patio. Rarely stayed inside because the location and yard were perfect. Easy walk to many restaurants and shops. Great for 3 women in our 50s-60s to catch up relax and explore the area. The stairs to the house and stairs in the house were alot after a day of walking, but id do it again anyways!! Great hosts, well equipped home and comfortable.

This is a great location. An hour to Ashville and less than 30 minutes to Bryson City and to the casino at Cherokee. Also literally downtown Dillsboro . Sylva right next door. If you want an upscale restaurant definitely try the Chefs Table in Sylva.

Great location clean property

Everything was there and a great location. Just FYI the grill is not gas like the listing says it’s charcoal. Only down side to the place is the 2 recliners in the living room are totally worn out and so uncomfortable there was 2 open days after our check out date that we going to call and stay but the recliners so horrible we went to another cabin.

Historic Stat

Perfect location to walk around town. We were limited on indoor living space as there were four humans and three dogs staying but there was plenty of space in the fully fenced yard for us to lounge around. The beds were comfortable and home was will equip for the fur babies. Note to anyone staying here: if there is dew or if the ground is wet at all, walk down the steps to the house slowly and use the hand rail. We had a slip and fall resulting in a sprained ankle.

A wonderful place to stay

This home is convenient to EVERYTHING in Dillsboro, NC! Very nicely kept, beds were comfortable, and it was very clean. 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Note there is a bathroom on each floor, and both bedrooms are upstairs. There are stairs from the parking area to the home. Even though the home isn’t central H&A, there were wall/window AC units and fans that worked very sufficiently. Wi-Fi worked great, and there is a nice DVD selection to choose from. We enjoyed the outdoor furniture and the quiet of a small town. There is a swing, chairs and a fire pit in a fully fenced in yard. Our dog was in heaven! I would definitely recommend this home and can see myself returning to stay again.

Lovely, well appointed vacation rental, waling distance to all Dillsboro has to offer.

The Reed House is perfect for those wishing to park and stay to visit Dillsboro. It, however has limitations for those who are physically challenged by age or condition. To walk to the town, you must walk to steps across from the post office and cross Haywood, which is a very busy street. When arriving you must park well overhead of the Reed House and walk down several steep stairs to get to the back yard to unload, and then uphill to get loaded again when leaving.. I'm 77 with good legs but bad back, so it was a challenge as I'm a solo travel, but I made it. The home is precious and well appointed. Another challenge is that both bedrooms are upstairs once you enter the home. But if you are not physically challenged, it's the perfect spot to see and enjoy Dillsboro.

No water for 10 hours

I have filed a report on this stay. The owner knew we would not have water service for 10 hours and did not let us know. We could not shower or use the commodes. It was terrible. When we called the owner and demanded a refund for the one night, she told us to call Vacasa. Horrible experience. We did contact Vacasa and so far have not received a determination of a partial refund from them.
