Recent Sylva guest reviews

Our family enjoyed this house with all the outside amenities. We had a 30 minute drive to Bryson City ( Polar Express), Cherokee, and on the way home we stopped in Waynesville to get a Christmas tree. A very relaxing vacation with beautiful views.

The road to the house is a little daunting on the first trip. We arrived to find a very nicely lit Christmas tree. The decor is very good with interesting art work and objects on display. Bathrooms are large with good towels. The large windows at the rooftop give a great view and you see stars while lying in the bed upstairs. This was a great place to stay.

Incredible cabin, extremely cozy and very well maintained. The road to get to the cabin is easily navigable by a regular car but we have a 4x4 4Runner which made it even more enjoyable. Gravel road for approx 2-3 miles. Outside has a lovely creek which gives such a great ambiance and nice sound. Close to the smokies and far enough away to just be alone in the woods. I would stay here again
