Short Winter Getaway

We enjoyed our stay in Silva. The house was everything that we expected, it was very clean and had everything we needed for our quick 4 night stay. Small quant and quiet town that made it easy to go explore with only a short drive back at the end of the day. We skied at Cataloochee, visited Cherokee, stopped at a few waterfalls, saw elk along the way, Jackson County Library was beautifully decorated, and toured The Biltmore. Nancy was easy to work with and was quick to respond, you can tell she takes great pride in this rental property.

Why they chose this property

We lived and loved this property for many years. We raised our family in this small, but cozy cottage. We remodeled the kitchen and bath to update the house and after doing the work ourselves, it’s very near and dear to our hearts. We wanted to make it feel like home when you walk in the door, so we added a few small touches to achieve that goal.
