Recent Sylva guest reviews

The house was very comfortable and inviting. Hot tub was a great place to end the day after being on the river. Everything we needed and more was provided by our host. Highly recommended.

Great stay but bad sleep! Will stay again but plan to bring our own bedding.
Christina C. | May 2026
Home was phenomenal. 5 star worthy. Very nice, spacious, clean, and well-appointed. My issue was with Vacasa. Didn’t allow for early check-in when the house was vacant for 4 days prior and the day of our trip. Didn’t allow for a one hour delayed check out with 2 days notice once we knew the weather was bad and a booked fishing trip was moved from Saturday to Sunday morning. Lastly, I received a text that our booking was cancelled the day of the trip, while driving up there. After several text messages without response, I called and finally got someone. I was told that was misinformation and shouldn’t have been sent to me.
