It was clean and comfortable and cozy with a well equipped kitchen. The porch swing and outdoor seating by the creek offered inviting places to relax. We were steps away from downtown Sylva with all of its shops, restaurants, and breweries (with a shout-out to the Lazy Hiker) and nice parks for kids. The tricky part was finding it because it is tucked back off the road (which is a nice feature!). We found that parking in the Redeemer Church parking lot next door made ingress and egress easier. The owner was very communicative and helpful before, throughout, and after our visit. We highly recommend! ##### Carol M.

Such a lovely stay in a rental that provided for all of our needs ahead of our daughter's wedding this past weekend. Peaceful, quiet setting. A fabulous kitchen table to sit around for meals and conversation, or in our case wedding prep central to hold all the DIY embellishments for the wedding. A very comfortable space in general. Kudos to Jessica, the housekeeper, for maintaining the high standard of cleanliness required by Katherine, the lovely host. Katherine was ultra communicative and an understanding soul. Grateful to have had such a professional and kind human to communicate with. The front porch swing was a perfect spot to enjoy my morning cup of coffee. The fire pit area was our respite in the evenings, amply supplied with wood and chairs to accommodate any size guest. The location in general is very accessible to Main Street. If you are reading this, I encourage you to make your reservation right away. There is a reason this rental stays booked up! ##### Polly M.

This was probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed in through vrbo. All supplies promised were there. Surroundings were beautiful, including small creek, groundhogs, fireflies and a front porch cat my grandson named Thunder due to it being totally gray. The house was within a short walking distance of downtown Sylva, with many cute shops and places to eat. Several parks within a close drive or walk. Short driving distance to many fun family activities. In spite of being in the city the property is very quiet and private. 2 bedrooms up and 1 down, with futon in living room. We chose to sleep up in king size bed, but would probably take the downstairs next time due to steep stairs and bad knees. 😊 All bedrooms similar size and furnishings, all with TV. One bathroom up and one down. Kitchen well appointed, even 2 coffee makers. I could go on and on. Had a great time! Our 2 grandsons really enjoyed the public swimming pool in Sylva. We had been to Sylva and the pool previously, and it was actually one of the reasons we chose Sylva. Also went on GSMRR, white water rafting, gem mining, local "old-fashion" Quin theatre, met friends in Asheville for dinner one evening, and more. Wish we had another week. Didn't make it to Cherokee this time, which we also enjoy. Love Sylva and loved our stay in Kay's Hideaway. P.S. Wi-fi was fantastic! Much better that what we have at home (we live in the country!) ##### Susan/Brett C.

Location was excellent, walking distance into town with lots of restaurants and shops. Communication with the property owner was quick and easy, and we appreciated the snacks and lovely note waiting for us on arrival! ##### carolyn m.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. Aside from the fact that the surrounding towns are so quaint and friendly (a welcome reprieve from the city), Kay’s Hideaway was such a cozy, well-maintained place for a Christmas holiday. We hope to return in warmer months to explore different parts of the mountains. I’d definitely recommend this place 100 times over! ##### Charmella W.

Place had everything we needed and then some. We were right around the corner from family and could walk there. Little touches like snacks made our stay easier with the little ones because we drove into town and they needed a little something. Place was beautiful, spacious and very clean and very well stocked. Thank you!! ##### CHRISTINE N.

The house was well maintained on the inside. The host was easy to get ahold of and responded kindly and quickly. We enjoyed the surrounding area.
