About this property

The Reed House

Summary:

Downtown, dog-friendly, Dillsboro home with fireplace - front porch & back deck



The Space:

Welcome to the Reed House - a cozy two story home located in the center of charming Dillsboro. Enjoy the mountains without the hassle of having to navigate a vehicle through the steep backroads. The house, originally built in 1906, is remodeled with a modern kitchen, gas fireplace, and all the comforts of home. You will love sitting on the front porch and taking in the sights and sounds of the town. Head out to the back deck and watch the sun fall behind the mountains in the evening.



As night falls, retire upstairs to one of the comfortable and well-appointed bedrooms. Since the house is right in town, guests can walk to all the shops, restaurants, the train station, and the river rafting facility. Just a short drive to other nearby towns to explore the local culture. Miles of trails are available close by for hiking and exploring the surrounding wilderness.



Things to Know Outdoor steps lead down from parking area to the home. Limited cell service and GPS. This property is managed by VueStay Vacations.

Great location in downtown dillsboro. We were WCU alumni visiting town, and it was great being close to campus and around sylva and dillsboro again. Easy access to walk across the street to shops, restaurants, and the brewery. Fit the needs of a family of four perfectly for a mountain getaway for a few days. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. What a treat to host WCU alumni back in town, and we're so glad the downtown spot put you within walking distance of the shops, restaurants, and brewery while you revisited Sylva and Dillsboro. It's lovely to know the space fit your family of four so well for a mountain getaway. We'd be delighted to welcome you back whenever the mountains call you home again. The VueStay Team

Peaceful getaway

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the home as well as the outdoor areas (front porch and yard swing especially). The kitchen is well-stocked too, which was great.

Lots of steps....! Great location in the heart of dillsboro, but lots of steps! The parking is 2 stories higher than the house in behind of the house. So carrying luggage was a workout.. The stairs to the 2 bedrooms are steep as well ( 100 year old house). The remodeling and improvements to an old farm house are wonderful...the character of the house remains. 2 adults max. I loved being there. We were part of a glass festival and the venue was across the street. It couldn't be in a better location!

We loved our stay at Reed House! It was easy to check in when we arrived. The house was even better than the pictures! Close to everything in Dillsboro and WCU. We were there to move our son in for his first year of college. We definitely would love to stay again on our return trips to the area!!

Amazing stay at the Reed House!

The location is perfect and walking distance to several restaurants, shops and a brewery. The home is decorated adorably, was super clean and the beds were very comfy. We loved everything about the home including the little fireplace and the front porch and back patio. We didn't bring our dogs on this trip but love knowing that we can! We will definitely be back!

Pilgrimage.

The Reed House was quaint with lots of character and well appointed for our needs. However, the housekeeping could have been more detailed: baseboards very dirty; carpet lacked vacuuming in the bedrooms; bathroom floors were dirty.

Quaint and cozy winter getaway

We absolutely loved staying in this quaint and cozy home right in the center of downtown Dillsboro. The yard was fenced and perfect for our 20lb pup to investigate and zoom around in. We were there for a snow storm and thoroughly enjoyed watching the snow fall from in front of the living room fireplace. The owner was very communicative and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Will definitely return!!

A Beautiful Comfortable Home in The Heart of Dillsboro

We loved the convenience of walking everywhere, the views from the cozy front porch and the relaxing back patio. It was nice having a kitchen stocked with all the essentials, just bring the food! Beds were so comfy and the home was quiet inside at night, as well as during the evening. Each bathroom had shampoo, conditioners, soaps, even a hairdryer! House temperature was perfect the minute we walked in the door! We will certainly be back to visit The Reed House again!

Charming and convenient

We loved the porch and patio. Rarely stayed inside because the location and yard were perfect. Easy walk to many restaurants and shops. Great for 3 women in our 50s-60s to catch up relax and explore the area. The stairs to the house and stairs in the house were alot after a day of walking, but id do it again anyways!! Great hosts, well equipped home and comfortable.

This is a great location. An hour to Ashville and less than 30 minutes to Bryson City and to the casino at Cherokee. Also literally downtown Dillsboro . Sylva right next door. If you want an upscale restaurant definitely try the Chefs Table in Sylva.

Great location clean property

Everything was there and a great location. Just FYI the grill is not gas like the listing says it’s charcoal. Only down side to the place is the 2 recliners in the living room are totally worn out and so uncomfortable there was 2 open days after our check out date that we going to call and stay but the recliners so horrible we went to another cabin.

Historic Stat

Perfect location to walk around town. We were limited on indoor living space as there were four humans and three dogs staying but there was plenty of space in the fully fenced yard for us to lounge around. The beds were comfortable and home was will equip for the fur babies. Note to anyone staying here: if there is dew or if the ground is wet at all, walk down the steps to the house slowly and use the hand rail. We had a slip and fall resulting in a sprained ankle.

A wonderful place to stay

This home is convenient to EVERYTHING in Dillsboro, NC! Very nicely kept, beds were comfortable, and it was very clean. 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Note there is a bathroom on each floor, and both bedrooms are upstairs. There are stairs from the parking area to the home. Even though the home isn’t central H&A, there were wall/window AC units and fans that worked very sufficiently. Wi-Fi worked great, and there is a nice DVD selection to choose from. We enjoyed the outdoor furniture and the quiet of a small town. There is a swing, chairs and a fire pit in a fully fenced in yard. Our dog was in heaven! I would definitely recommend this home and can see myself returning to stay again.
