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! ##### James F.

He was a very nice man and we he dealt with my husband for a while about service so he was happy but it was clean. It was beautiful and it was quiet. We really enjoyed our stay. We had a great time. We were close to the places where we could go in and see what we wanted to say. We were very very, happy with our choice ##### Betty M.
