Great house. Couldn’t figure out how to start the indoor fire place. Also the 10 digit code to get in was a little much. Overall the house was great for what I needed.

It was the perfect place to enjoy time with the family. The decor was perfect, beds were comfy, kitchen had everything needed to cook and entertain. Loved the back porch where you can hear the sound of the stream flowing by. A perfect mountain getaway to relax and enjoy family time.

We enjoyed the home, and that's what it felt like, home. The screened in back porch was a favorite with the sound of the creek running over the rock in the distance. The kitchen was we equipped and we cooked & entertained during our stay with plenty of everything we needed to do so. The king-size bed was comfortable, although an upgrade in the sheets would make it much more enjoyable.

Nice clean place near downtown Sylva & WCU

Pleasant stay with clean, safe location. Easy in and out process. Didn't realize this was managed by another third party vacation rental manager and was a bit surprised by the cleaning fee & extra fees, but overall it was fine.

WCU Graduation 2025

We absolutely loved this home away from home. It was clean and cozy. The outdoor space was very relaxing as you could hear the small flowing creek in the backyard. Communication with the host on check in/out was flawless. If we find ourselves back in Sylva, and need a place to stay, it will be here. Definitely will be recommending this home to our friends.

Plenty of Room

We stayed here due to a volleyball tournament in Cherokee. We wanted a house rather than stay in a hotel for the weekend. It was an easy 15/20 minute drive over there. There was plenty of space for us (family of 4).

Great house close to downtown Sylva

Ripple Run is a great house with plenty of space and a cool layout. Nice kitchen, comfy beds, and the screened porch is fantastic for morning coffee or relaxing. Super close to downtown Sylva but also easy access to Dillsboro, Cullowhee, etc. Will definitely stay again if we’re back in the area.
