Loved seeing the old photos and antiques. Lots of character. Most of the 'flaws' come with the territory of renting an OLD cabin. However, the mattress is very worn. We enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

Perfect!

Loved this place, it was historic yet had all the modern amenities. It was peaceful and remote, exactly what we were looking for while in the area for a professional conference at WCU.

This cabin was awesome. We lived the history that was shared with photos. The cabin was nestled far back in the woods, so much privacy. We will definitely book this one again. Thank you.

Vintage look with modern convenience

Super sweet My one complaint was it had a below average height toilet—not good for tall, senior, weak kneed folks but doable.

Did the job.

The bed was comfortable, the water was hot and I liked being able to cook and store things in the fridge. Watch out for the forest friends in the attic, though.

This is a very cute cabin tucked away in the mountains. The perfect place to stay for history/antique fans such as myself, there was so much cool antique furniture and old pictures from when the house was first built. The drive up is a little precarious but overall not too bad and the signage made it a lot easier to find! I took my partner here for their birthday and had such a great time exploring downtown Sylva and then coming home at night to a peaceful quiet cabin in the midst of the beautiful mountain forests. Also a good deal for the price if you value privacy and a unique vacation experience. Definitely would return!

The place was great and clean and well stocked. However, the kitchen sink leaked all over the counter and the tub leaked into the bathroom floor.

Best vacation ever!

My husband took me away for a weekend here and he knew we needed to be out as far as we could get. And it worked perfectly! The house was amazing and the property was just beautiful! We had everything we needed plus and I was able to just read and relax all weekend.

It’s a quiet location and very cute. However some of the furniture could be replaced as in the bed and the couch. However it was very much needed to get away and unplug from time to time.

Peace and Quiet

If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. Beautiful countryside and close to adventure. We had fireflies by night and bunnies in the morning. The small stream was peaceful, and the area is beautiful.

This is a true Rustic Cabin in the woods off a good dirt road that was very clean and had exactly what you needed. I was disappointed the wood burning stove didn’t work as that is why I chose this cabin.
