Very cozy mountain vibe great for relaxing!

This cabin was so wonderful, loved the deck with rocking chairs overlooking the creek. It was perfect for our family’s last vacation before moving my daughter in at WCU the same weekend! We enjoy the set up and it had really neat decorations which gives it character and cool pieces to read too. The sunroom was my kids favorite with the records and player. I think the biggest enjoyment was the bathroom toliet with the cleaning system!!!!! They got a kick out of that but found it refreshing 🤣 I feel like there was always someone on the pot 🤣🤣

We’re so happy you had a great time in our favorite place. I wish your daughter the best of luck with school. It’s a great college town. Please think of us when you come to visit your daughter. We would love to have to stay with us again. The “potty thing” is my doing. I love it but in the winter is soooooooo cold. Hahah Thank you so much for the great review it means a lot to us. Sincerely Jon and Debbie.

We enjoyed our trip to stay in Cherokee! The cabin was great and had everything we needed. We loved playing down by the stream and enjoyed all of the swings and rocking chairs outside!

Nice cabin for a vacation

These was a beautiful and quiet little place to stay with plenty of room. My children loved the creek! Best part little cell service so we got to spend time with each other! My wife, 4 kids (10,11,13,14) and myself really enjoyed our time together.

Nice woodsy cabin by a creek. It’s a bit precarious to get down to the creek but we were too busy to get to spend time at there anyway.

We loved our stay! Great location to many towns! Cabin overlooks the beautiful creek, which was enjoyed by the family. The kitchen has the basic necessities to cook a meal. The cabin makes you feel at home. There is plenty of games, etc to keep the kids busy. Parking at the cabin is tight if you have more than one large vehicle. We plan on visiting again in the future!

From the owner: "You’re right about Sylva. It really has become home for us, and we think it’s one of the best towns anywhere. The creek was a big reason we bought the place, and we love it when guests enjoy it too. Parking can be a little tight, but like you said, at least it’s flat. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we’d be glad to have you back anytime to enjoy both the creek and Sylva again."

Can't Wait To Go Back Again

This place was amazing. It was perfect for our family of four adults and a 4 year old. We cooked on the BBQ and in the cabin both. It had everything we needed. We made use of the deck, BBQ, creek, swing and hammock. It is very peaceful and no comparison to a hotel. I highly recommend this cabin. So relaxing!

Peaceful Stay

Beautiful cabin. Well stocked with cooking supplies. Very clean. Beds were pretty comfortable. I enjoyed every morning having my coffee on the deck listening to the creek. Close to everything and everyone we were visiting. We all very much enjoyed staying here and would love to stay again next time we come down.

Perfect family getaway

My family (and dog) loved this house! The house was very clean, we had no problems with our stay. My boys enjoyed the loft as their little hideout. I think my favorite was the creek and swings. It gave us something to do on the property during down on vacation. I loved watching my boys and dog play in the creek and pushing them on the swings.
