Perfect location

Loved our stay. Very private home in the middle of nature. But 15-30 mins from anything you’d want to do. Casino, rafting, restaurants, shopping etc. Was very happy with our stay.

Excellent cabin in the hills

We were very pleased with our stray at the Circle House. Its relatively close to Dillsboro and Sylva/Cullowhee. We went for a weekend to visit my son at WCU and were very pleased with our stay. You can tell the house is older, but has been recently updated in 2023. The house has a very open and bright feel on the inside. There is a large kitchen/dining/living area (half of the whole house). So its excellent for gatherings. The beds were very comfortable (nice and firm). The guest bathroom is a bit snug. But overall at great experience.

A Perfect Getaway

What a peaceful, serene place. This is not another random short-term rental. The Circle House is oozing with character and presence. You feel welcome as soon as you're in the door. There are board games galore, comfy bean bag chairs, a well-stocked kitchen, and even a nice acoustic parlor guitar ready for strumming. We arrived after dark so didn't fully realize what an awesome place the Circle House was until the next morning. We walked outside into a beautiful forest setting. We heard a babbling creek, saw a wild turkey and her two chicks meandering under towering trees, and grabbed a perfectly ripened peach to add to our breakfast cereal. The good vibes are strong with this one. If you're traveling in this beautiful area and the Circle House is available, don't hesitate. Book it while you can -- you will NOT regret it! A truly great value and a stop you won't forget.

Such a beautiful home and property. So quiet and peaceful. The area was perfectly located between several different towns, making it convenient to head out in any direction to explore new places. The ceiling to floor windows gave us an incredibly beautiful yet private view of many trees and flowering plants, including blueberry bushes and a pear tree. The kitchen was stocked sufficiently, I just wish there were a few more towels in the bathrooms, as well as a few more pods for the laundry, as we were there for two weeks, so we made it work. Beds were a bit firm. Very pet friendly. Parking was super spacious, even with two vehicles and two motorcycle trailers. I highly recommend this property.
