Mini Vacation

This is a great property to stay at. The view is great. The home is clean and well stocked. It’s such a relaxing and peaceful place. We absolutely enjoyed it. We will most definitely be booking in the fall to see the spectacular view that I’m sure it is.

Beautiful view in quiet, remote area.

My husband and I were looking for a place to totally relax, away from the hustle and bustle and we found it. High up with a gorgeous Mountain View. Very peaceful and calming. The house is very well maintained and the owner, Michelle, was very responsive. It was a pleasure staying there.

So Peaceful

This place is amazing with beautiful views and only the sounds of nature. The drive up is also very scenic and just far enough out from the quaint little town of Sylva and Dillsboro. The house was very clean and had all of the amenities that we needed. Great communication with Michelle. Would definitely recommend!

Good base for exploring the area

Property was clean and comfortable. Not too far from attractions and towns. Appliances and conveniences were functional and easy to use. Great view, even after most of the foliage had dropped. Driving up the mountain was actually kind of fun at first in our 2WD SUV. However, the driveway needs much improvement--loose gravel and rutted substrate on a sharp incline. Everything else was great!

Feels just like home…

This was our 2nd year staying at Michelle’s for Thanksgiving and it was just as great as the last year! The view is awesome, it’s close to every major road to get you to every town and the Blue Ridge pkwy. We always find new hikes, breweries, got on the Polar Express and did our 4th annual Christmas tree cutting at Boyd’s Christmas tree farm. I did not get a chance to give a review last year but I wanted to say what a great host Michelle is, she even mailed my hair straighter and curler back to me to Florida when I forgot it under the sink! Can’t say enough good things about it, thanks Michelle. Hope to stay again soon!

The great escape

Michelle was very responsive, friendly and helpful. Her house is clean and organized with a well-stocked kitchen. The location was great for my wife and I which is quiet and private, although conveniently located near Sylva, Dillsboro, Waynesville and Maggie Valley. Would definitely return.

Perfect getaway spot

We loved staying here. It is centrally located to some great hiking spots. If you get a chance check out the Pinnacle Trail located in Sylva! This home is super cozy. It is stocked with plenty of blankets for cozy evenings, and the kitchen is stocked fully as well with all of your kitchen needs. The porch is lovely to sit in the rocking chairs and enjoy the beautiful Mountain View!

This was one of the most relaxing homes I've stayed in! Quiet and well appointed, the beds were perfect, the kitchen was wonderful (and easy to keep clean despite my husband's efforts). The road in is difficult, we were forewarned. Our SUV struggled with the last climb but it was worth it. We only left for groceries and our final departure since it was Thanksgiving week/weekend and bitterly cold. Our dogs enjoyed their short walks but enjoyed their cuddles in front of the television more. Lastly, our Hostess, Michelle, was everything you would want - warm, gracious, attentive, and prompt. I would definitely recommend this home if you're looking for seclusion, relaxation, and a lovely place to spend your down time.
