Spend a fantastic getaway in this dog-friendly mountain cabin, where you can relax on the porch to the sounds of a babbling creek running just beside the house! Step inside to find a spacious and open living area, with beautifully burnished floors, a handsome gas fireplace, lots of comfortable furniture, and charming décor. When you're not pulling fish from Tuckasegee Lake, watch a good movie on the mounted flatscreen TV or head into the full kitchen to assemble a delightful lunch to enjoy at the dining table with seating for six or outside on the furnished deck for an al-fresco experience with incredible mountain views. The private gas grill will make it easy to throw a fun summer barbecue while the kids romp around the yard. You'll love gathering your friends and family around the firepit for an evening of good conversation and stargazing. Don't forget to let the private washer/dryer knock out everyone's laundry while you entertain the family with the provided board games.

Home away from home

The cabin is close to shopping and restaurants but far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle that life brings. Don’t miss the sunrise with the low clouds covering the valley below in the morning and the softening of the sky at sunset while sitting in the rockers on the front porch!

Nice Cabin

Great cabin. Everything was clean and the house was well stocked. Great views. This cabin is located in the upper mountains. The drive to the cabin was very windy and a two lane road. No street lights so navigating it in the dark was a little tricky.

Charming

This is a nice cabin to stay in for a few nights. The road up to it is very steep my truck said it was a 15 degree incline. But, it is worth it because the view from the porch is amazing.

Spectacular sunrise mountain view

The home was clean and decorated cute. Everything we needed was there on site. The sunrise from the front porch was beautiful! There was plenty of beds for everyone. The road up to the home is steep and we never actually found an area to see the running creek water, but could hear it. My family would definitely stay here again. It was close to WCU campus.

Fun trip to Cullowhee

My self, my wife, the dog, our two youngest kids plus their friends came up to visit our oldest for HOCO at WCU. The cabin was spotless and comfortable with plenty of room for all six of us plus the dog. The views off the front porch were spectacular, the pictures don’t do it justice. Property management was professional and communicated well. The location is on a steep driveway but not too difficult to navigate. Certainly hope to stay here again.

Family loved this place

This was a perfect place for my family of six. Our family enjoyed the seclusion of the cabin, the mountain views, and having fires. The town of sylva is about a 10 minute drive so we weren't too far out of town but you would think you were. Very peaceful and quiet. Just what our family needed. Highly recommend. I had a little issue with the gas fireplace but it was taken care of immediately. Stayed from 12/23-12/30/23.
