This tiny house is absolutely adorable! The home was immaculate, cozy and welcoming. The view from the porch gives you a very peaceful view of the river. The hosts are excellent to work with and are very quick to respond to any questions. Keep this one handy!

Location was great, easy to find. Enjoyed falling asleep listening to the river. Bed was cozy. Wish the new hot tub was available to use for my stay. That would have been amazing!

The old buses across the river were kind of an eye sore. While definitely an enjoyable river front experience, the buses were not attractive. The bed was comfortable but wish the rest of the furniture/appliances felt a bit more secure and steady (ie the bathroom sink, the desk, the space heater sitting on a little ledge at foot of bed.

Cozy spot in a beautiful location

We really enjoyed staying in this tiny but well thought out property. The location next to the river was lovely, and the stars were beautiful the night we were here. Communication was good.

The cabin was so cute and, even with campground traffic, it was very quiet. It was exactly as described. There was an issue with the water at one point but they were already working on it when I realized it. The parking was a little difficult to get turned around but I didn’t have any issues.

Thanks for the great review. I’m glad the cabin was quiet and matched the listing. Sorry for the inconvenience with the water — our team was already addressing it when you noticed. Appreciate the parking feedback; I’ll add a tip in the listing to help future guests.

Simple pleasures

This tiny house along the river was a perfect home base for my recent fly fishing trip to the area. The location, just off the Tuckasegee River, was dreamy. Waking up and looking out the window over the river rapids was sublime. Crack open the window and fall asleep to the sounds of the river. The tiny house was simple, and that’s exactly what I wanted. A warm place to stay and to relax after a long day on the river fishing. The location is perfect, with easy access into Sylva and the surrounding communities, as well as easy access to great fishing. The parking can be a bit tight, depending upon how the other guests in the other tiny cabins park, but it’s manageable. I would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing time here, the place was so cute and comfortable. It was clean and tidy. It had everything we needed. We liked it so much, we wanted to stay in the area a little longer just to enjoy it. It was truly a little piece of heaven on the river. So glad we found it!
