This updated cozy cottage sits on 5 magical acres with a bubbling creek, tucked away in a private cove, yet is centrally located to all the best of Western NC. You'll love sitting on the spacious deck, enjoying the firepit or exploring the woods. This nook of the woods feels far away from everything, but is just 3 minutes to Dillsboro, 9 minutes from Sylva main street, 20 to Cullowhee. These towns have excellent restaurants, coffee shops, breweries and unique stores. GOOD CELL SERVICE NO WIFI
A few minutes from the Tuckesegee river and only 20 minutes from Cherokee and Bryson City, half an hour from Nanthala outdoor center, Waynesville and Franklin. Less than an hour to Asheville for a great day trip. You are surrounded by gorgeous hiking trails and waterfalls in the area. Top notch mountain biking is nearby at Fire mountain trails.

This place was so cool! We normally stay in Bryson city but decided to branch out a little and I’m so glad we did! We absolutely loved the mid-century modern style mixed with a touch of farm house. This place has everything you need plus more ( like a heated bathroom floor!). We spent our first day studying/working and it was so peaceful between all the natural light and the creek outside. The only thing I would recommend is coming in a truck or all wheel drive, the road is pretty rough. We would not recommend driving a sedan to this location .

My family including two little boys, stayed at Lindsey's place. We planned to stay for 2 nights but had such a good time we added a 3rd night. We had a great time, the house was perfect for our stay. We enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace, deck, and creek on the property. The beds were comfortable and the decor was perfect. The road up to it is bumpy, but it's a gravel road, and wasn't too bad. There are houses nearby, and some reviews say they are closer than expected, but I would have to disagree with that. Once the leaves are on trees, you wouldn't even know neighbors are there. There is no internet, but cell service was fine. They did have about 20 DVD's to go through, but we did bring a few of our favorites to watch at night. We were visited by two neighbor's dogs, they were all very friendly. Overall we were very happy with this stay and plan to come back again in the near future.

The approach to the house is even more rough/bumpy than we imagined but the house and area are worth the slow drive those last few minutes. We enjoyed the modern decor of the house and updated/stocked kitchen and bath. The beds are firm (foam) which is comfortable for us. We appreciated that the furniture was clean/newer but the home still has some quirky features. The neighbors are a bit closer than expected so we did not feel comfortable exploring too far away from the house. The creek next to the house is lovely. The house overlooks a cow enclosure which was a point of interest. This was a great location to explore nearby Cherokee and Sylva!

We enjoyed our stay immensely! We made many friends with the neighbor’s farm animals and loved taking a daily walk up and down the mountain. The dog next door joined us on our walks and she was just the sweetest pup! We really enjoyed the house, location, and overall, we can’t stop saying how much we enjoyed the area. We definitely recommend staying here!

Response:Thanks for letting us host you guys! The cow next door has become a favorite "feature" of other guest's stays. :). So glad you had a nice stay. We hope to host you again in the future.

This was a beautiful and extremely clean house in a great location. Though the neighborhood it is in is very isolated from the road, it is very close to various small towns with shops and restaurants and also very accessible to the Blue Ridge Parkway and National Park. Very highly recommended.

Great location and beautiful home. Was close enough to everything we wanted and was great for people who are not use to mountain driving. The driveway up is very bumpy but easy with a larger car (truck/van/SUV). If going in the winter I would suggest leaving the room doors open at night to feel the heat well. We loved our stay and will absolutely be back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the modern cabin! The road to the cabin is bumpy like the description says and sits in the back of a NC "holler" but it's a great private spot to spend a weekend. It's also extremely close to Downtown Sylva and there's plenty of shops, restaurants, breweries, etc. We made reservations for Ilda and spent some time at the wine bar pre-dinner. It was fantastic! The house itself was clean, spacious, and great for three couples. The wood burning stove was a nice touch and the covered front porch was great for the one rainy day we had. There's also a side fenced in yard for pups and that was nice to have to keep them happy as well. We all said that the only thing that could make the house even more perfect would be a hot tub! The stream running next to the house can be heard from the porch and is a great place to read/relax with the noise of the stream in the background. We'll be back one of these days!

Wonderful stay! Perfect distance to everything. We really enjoyed the cabin, you can definitely see the time and effort that has been put into the home. It had the perfect touches to feel like home. We really enjoyed Sylvia but also used it as a hub to go to both Asheville and Gatlinburg.

Me and my boyfriend had a wonderful time and would recommend it to anyone. It’s in a good location. The only worry is the driveway is rough and you have to drive very slow. But other then that we had an amazing time. even tho there was no wifi (we both had good service) we didn’t mind one bit, while we were at the house we built a fire in the fire pit, enjoyed cooking in the cozy kitchen and had fun picking out which movie to watch on the DVD player. We will definitely love to stay here again in the future.
