We were traveling through the area on the way to visit family for Christmas and stumbled upon this listing. It was PERFECT! We loved all the details and the festive feel to the house. The host was super available and helped answer questions. The town of Dillsboro and nearby Sylva are really fun stops. I wish we had more time to stay in the area. The pictures don’t do the house justice, it’s a great space for a comfortable night sleep and we also enjoyed the Netflix to watch Christmas movies! ##### Andrea B.

The location was ideal to enjoy the Dillsboro Luminary as well as a place for a drop in by my family and friends. The property is very well set up and would be ideal for a small family to be immersed in the holiday spirit. It would also be perfect, throughout the rest year, as a festive base from which to enjoy the many fun things that this area of NC has to offer! Kudos to owner Chris and his team of Santa's helpers! ##### Mark Y.

We arrived in Dillsboro on Thursday 9/26 as Helene was beginning her havoc in the area. Lin who works in it the shop below the VRBO checked us in and was so helpful and caring. She made sure we had flash lights and battery operated candles, in case we lost power (which we never did). There were so many shops and restaurants in walking distance we headed out to explore, shop and dine before the weather got too bad. Such a charming area and lovely people. Unfortunately by the next morning the shops and restaurants in the street by the river were under water! Lin came down from her home to check on us because at this point we had lost cell and internet service. We had a wonderful stay in a lovely and comfortable VRBO. ##### Jean G.

The pictures don’t do it justice, in our opinion. It’s perfectly clean, with a Christmas tree in every single space. It’s an easy 20 minute drive up to the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad for the Polar Express and was such a fun place for our 2 y.o. And 6 y.o. to add to the Christmas magic of the weekend. Check in was simple and quick. Also, breakfast and mimosas at The Foragers Canteen was delicious. There were several other shops and places we wanted to check out but had to hit the road.Definitely recommend this property! Only suggestion would be to bring a baby gate if you have littles - the stairs at the entry are steep and lead right up to the second bedroom so kids have to constantly walk past the top of the stairs. ##### Kim B.

Bigger than anticipated. Clean. Adequate updated kitchen. Very comfortable beds & futon. Large bathroom. Only issue was no hot water from bathroom sink faucet & ceiling fan didn't work in bedroom. (Reported. I'm sure they'll repair quickly.) Tub/shower was fine. Linens plentiful & very comfortable. Only drawback was needing to drive short distance to Silva for shops. (Silva very sweet small town. Beautiful!) Would definitely stay there again. Friendly staff & owner was very accommodating. ##### Patricia S.

We had a blast crafting, baking gingerbread men with supplied pans, adorable oven mits, and hot cocoa (did wish we had a rolling pin!) We even brought little wrapped presents to put under our individual trees (there's one in EVERY room!) We watched the Grinch on the comfy green velvet couch in the living room. The antique light switch in the master bedroom is really cool. The whole place is bigger than the pictures look online - and there are no pictures of the living room! It was so nice to be centrally located and after the festivities go to our cool christmas house rather than just hopping in the car to go home! We split the cost 3 ways since it was kind of pricey. ##### Adelle B.

The couch was a designated sleeping area, but when in actuality, only one adult could sleep on it and it was not very large.
