Recent Sylva guest reviews

This cabin has strong historical charm and a rich history. They even include a set of photos of occupants going back several generations, which I found to be quite interesting. If you're looking for a luxury villa with lots of modern amenities, look elsewhere. But if you want a unique experience in a historical cabin that has lots of charm this is an excellent choice.

Very clean and nice stat. I would certainly recommend staying here. I have already booked another trip in June
Jeff M. | Mar 2026
The private sauna and private hot tub were both amazing. Plenty of clean towels and everything you could ask for in the kitchen. Amazing garden tub on the main floor in the main suite also with a shower in that same bathroom… Lots of warmth and thoughtful touches like jigsaw puzzles and board games. Everything you could ask for in a mountain cabin with amazing views from two different decks. Lots of different areas for different parts of your family to go hang out in separate areas simultaneously. Even cool retro colorful lunch trays for the kiddos… All in all 10 out of 10!
