Be 'at E's' in rustic elegance as you take in the natural beauty and mountain culture of Western North Carolina. Enjoy the relaxing sounds of the Tuckasegee River just beyond the large, screened porch. This newly-built and delightfully-furnished cabin in a private community is centrally located in Jackson County offering easy access to many local attractions and communities. Inside your air-conditioned space, you'll find a soaring cathedral ceiling, a full, modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a table for six, and a comfortable living area with a gas fireplace (October to March), a flatscreen TV, a washer/dryer, and sliding door access out to the furnished deck. This large, screened deck offers a table and chairs for outdoor dining, cozy rockers, ceiling fans, and an additional flatscreen TV, all overlooking the river, while the riverside firepit is the perfect place to gather and watch the stars come out.

The new river-front game room features an 8-foot billiards table with optional table tennis conversion top, an electronic soft-tip dartboard, and flatscreen TV and music system. This added feature is rarely matched in similar short-term rentals, and perfect for when the weather causes a temporary change in plans or for winding down after a long day exploring the outdoors.

Enjoy hiking the nearby trails that lead out to spectacular vistas and beautiful waterfalls, fishing the WNC Fly Fishing Trail, or taking in events at Western Carolina University located less than two miles from your door. Discover several small mountain towns like Sylva, Dillsboro, Waynesville, Cashiers, Bryson City, and Cherokee, all within a short drive and all offering great, walkable downtown areas with unique shops, restaurants, and friendly pubs, each with its own unique personality. Additional outdoor activities can be experienced within the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Nantahala National Forest, several mountain lakes, and numerous North Carolina and Jackson County parks. And Tuckasegee River access is available at several designated ramps with parking areas and at various pull-offs along the river.

The space was just as advertised. Only issues were not having the power cord for the dart board. Inquired and no reply...The space was great and felt under surveillance while we were there. ust what we were expectingThe river front was so soothing and what was expected.

Great place close to WCU

We enjoyed the house while attending orientation for our daughter at WCU. It was close, and the other kids were able to hang out there and enjoy nature, tv and the beauty of the mountains. I hope to go back.

Delightful stay

This is such a wonderful base camp for exploring the Appalachian side of the state. Restaurant are good in Sylva and Dillsboro. Mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee are the best!!!

WNC visit

We took a weekend trip to visit WNC for my son. This was a great choice as the house is near the school and offered outdoor recreation for my family. The house is beautiful and sits right on the water. We did not encounter any issues and enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Very nice place, quiet, peaceful.

This was a lovely house with beautiful views of the river and a gorgeous screen room that was the equivalent of another dining room, living room, and sitting area. Access and directions were easy to follow and it’s very close to charming little, downtown Sylva and right next door to Western Carolina University, but still very private. Nice, private neighborhood and beautiful new build surrounding houses. The only reason the home didn’t get a 5 was because when we went to use the fireplace, it didn’t work. It also didn’t have any daily use kitchen items like oil, sugar, spices and whatnot which I’ve never been in a rental that didn’t have those sorts or things so I’m not sure if I’ve just been lucky or if these things are not the norm. Overall, I would stay here again, clean, neat, and cleaning supplies and some limited toiletries were provided.

Great location, tight space but well laid out

Great outdoor living space on the screened in porch overlooking the river. Quiet neighborhood that feels secluded. The house is very well suited to accommodating several adults, but the bunk beds are quite tightly packed and may not be comfortable for some.

Home away from home

The property is well maintained with plenty of modern appliances and entertainment devices. Walking in we immediately felt welcomed. The view and location were prefect. The only downside was the spring mattress made it hard to sleep comfortably through the night. Aside from that, our stay was wonderful and the recharge we were looking for.
