Very Comfortable Home

We really enjoyed our stay at this home on the river. The house was comfortable for our family of four. We were able to cook dinner with a well set up kitchen. Coffee on the porch each morning was great. The road noise was expected and didn't bother us too much. The outdoor fireplace and hot tub were a nice addition. The owner was very responsive and understanding.

Fantastic River Side Getaway!

The absolute perfect place to stay in the mountains! The view and sounds of the creek were worth the stay alone! We had a blast enjoying the hot tub, grill, and board games almost every day. Everything was very clean and organized. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and we definitely will be back! The only thing that didn’t really effect us, but could effect others is the driveway. There is no way we would’ve made it up it without 4wd.

Fire it up and watch him fish

Husband and I enjoyed a chilly non white Christmas on The Tuck. It is literally right beside the house and the house is literally right beside the road.Family came for Christmas Day and then other family came a couple of nights later for a grilling of steaks dinner. The fireplace keeps you warm and presences itself a beautiful glow as I read my Richard Paul Evan’s books wrapped in a wool blanket. My husband was happy with the span of water he was able to fish. Note: you’re not alone of this stretch of The Tuck.The house is new and very comfortable for a week’s stay. We made it a priority to have reservations at Ilda one night, beautiful food by the way. First Baptist of Sylva had a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service that was a blessing to all that attended.Great location for some shopping, visited Waynesville, hint, don’t forget to check out The Kitchen Shop. We hit all the Fly Shoppes as well.Happy New Year

Second time booking

I like to stay here when visiting my son at WCU. It is very close to the school and everything you need. Love having a fire overlooking the river. The only downside can be you will have traffic noise. However, I have found a lot of the homes in the area along the river have this. The owner has sound machines in the room to help with this too! Perfect touch! Will be back again.

Great Thanksgiving Getaway

We had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving! If you are wanting to trout fish, this is the place! Walk right across road and fish all day. My guys even caught a couple 20” brown trout. Home was wonderful, clean and met all our needs. Would definitely stay again and/or recommend this property.

Great spot on the river

We enjoyed our long weekend in this house very much as it was a good combination of convenient location to town and area activities, etc. but also in a very scenic location with a lovely view of the river. We enjoyed all the amenities that come with the house. I did see in the listing where it discussed potential of road noise and the house is indeed on a busy road, but we adjusted to it quickly and it wasn’t an issue. The extremely convenient location was worth it. We appreciated the opportunity to stay.

Lovely place!

Very nice property, well maintained, very clean! Communication with the owner is top notch! Did not use the hot tub or the outdoor fireplace, but both looked very nice and if we had more time would have definitely done so! The only negative is the close proximity to the road and the associated road noise, but still manageable. Will definitely keep this location on our list of places to stay!

Great home for the weekend!!

Best house we have ever rented through VRBO! Layout is wonderful, amenities are wonderful, location is fantastic! The road out front is a little busier than we expected but not a big deal. Sharp turn and slightly steep climb into the driveway, but backing out was relatively easy and most traffic would stop to let you out. The outside fire place is exceptional with the grill being a great added touch! We will be back and would recommend to anyone!

Better than advertised!

I can't say enough amazing things about this cabin! We've stayed at several VRBOs, but none have been as accurately represented as this one. It exceeded our expectations and is even better than advertised. The cabin felt newly constructed, tastefully designed, and spacious, with charming touches throughout. Tucked into the mountainside, it offered stunning views of the river, where we even swam with the kids. The cabin perfectly blends modern conveniences with rustic mountain charm. It features keyless entry, WiFi, and smart TVs, which the kids loved for streaming movies at night. The fully stocked kitchen had everything we needed, and the mess-free electric fireplace in the living room added a cozy touch. The outdoor covered pavilion, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, was our favorite spot to relax in the rocking chairs at night, although we didn't use the fireplace itself. While the cabin is near a road with some daytime traffic, the nights were relatively quiet, allowing us to fully enjoy the serenity of this incredible site. It's about 15 minutes from Sylva, a charming town we had never heard of but now adore. As Floridians, we wished we lived closer so we could visit more often. I'd rent this cabin monthly if I could! Kimberly was an outstanding SUPERhost, extremely responsive and helpful. We have nothing but great things to say about this cabin and can't wait to return. Next time, I'm bringing my fishing pole!

Cute cabin in the woods

We spent the week in the woods playing in waterfalls and hiking. This was the perfect landing spot for us each night. Close to town but felt like we were in the middle of nowhere.

Summer getaway

My family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin. It was the perfect summer getaway for us. My husband and daughter enjoyed fishing and swimming in the river. We were able to cook breakfast every morning and grilled dinner every night at the cabin. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch and relaxing in the hot tub. It is located on a very busy road but, it didn’t bother us!

Clean, easy access to river, and well-stocked!

We had a great family getaway here and enjoyed fishing and tubing on the river. We loved the hot tub and outdoor fireplace for hanging out in the evenings. The house is clean and well-stocked, especially the kitchen. Kimberly was easy to reach and responded quickly. She is so friendly and the check-in/check-out process couldn't have been easier. Thank you again!!

This property was AMAZING! It was beautiful inside and out! We loved having the hot tub and the fireplace just a step or two from the house. The layout was perfect and it was just what we needed for our family! Location to downtown Sylva and Cherokee was great as well.

Annual Fishing Trip

We stayed in the Wee Retreat for our annual fishing trip. Party of 4. What a great place overlooking the Tuck River. Excellent property with exceptional attention to a fisherman’s needs to include wading shoe rack and rod stand. The interior had plenty of room for 4 adults and, again, thoughtful layout and inviting decor. The kitchen is very well stocked. The outdoor pavilion with fireplace was an excellent place to unwind each evening, just pick up a bag or two of firewood from Lowe’s. Speaking of Lowe’s and grocery store, perhaps 2 miles away. Kimberly was readily available and rapid to respond. The only “negative” is a steep driveway emptying onto a busy South River Rd. Of course, you can also opt to simply park in the fisherman’s pull-off immediately across road from driveway. Of course this steep driveway also affords a wonderful treehouse type view of the Tuck, a good trade.

Our stay

The property is nice and clean. The only thing that was not clean was all the spider webs on the front porch. The home is beautiful. It does have some draw backs. The house is for six people however the beautiful, large front porch only had two chairs. The fireplace area away from the front porch, only had sitting for four. Our family of six enjoys the outdoors but there was no where for all six of us to hang out together . The owners should really add several nice rocking chairs to the front porch so all 6 guests can hang out together. Lastly, there was no propene in the tank of our grill and there was little firewood provided for our stay. Our first night, we tried to grill steaks; well they did not get cooked because the propane tank was empty. We were told upon reporting this that we had to fill the propane tank ourselves. Also, we were told that if we wanted firewood to go to Lowes. This was very disappointing. We came to relax , not to purchase items needed for the home. Also, please note, you have to cross the road to get to the river. The road is extremely busy!! I was in fear the whole time of my 14 year old teens crossing to go fishing. The public does not obey the speed limit. Without, these things; the house is beautiful and clean. The owner was gracious enough to let us check in several hours early.
