Conveniently located less than an hour's drive to Asheville and 30 minutes to Bryson City, Cherokee, and the Great Smokey Mountain National Park, this two-level, three-bedroom house is going to be ideal for your family's next vacation!

You'll love the interior's high, vaulted ceilings, gorgeous burnished floors, rustic themes, and comfortable furniture. Have a movie night with the living room's flatscreen TV mounted just above the gas fireplace, then use the full kitchen's stainless steel appliances and ample counter space to whip up a delicious meal for the gang. You can serve up to four people at the kitchen table and the kids can swing their feet from the three breakfast bar stools. Let the dishwasher take care of all the cleanup while you enjoy a few refreshments out on the private deck. The private gas grill will make it easy to enjoy a fun-filled barbecue with friends and later, you can gather everyone around the firepit for some toasted 'Smores and campfire stories. Don't worry about stuck-on marshmallow goo - the private washer and dryer will easily knock out everyone's laundry. The home now includes a beautiful crib suitable for both babies and toddlers. It’s also baby-proofed, featuring protected electrical outlets for added safety and peace of mind.

This home is now equipped with a brand new private hot tub for your enjoyment! Home internet has been upgraded to reliable fiber-optic ultra-speed 1-gig internet for all your streaming and work needs. You can use the free WiFi to research tomorrow's outdoor adventure and the central AC and ceiling fans will keep the home nice and cool while you're here.

The most unresponsive Management

We checked in on 5/22/24, we saw that one of the bedrooms didn't have any electricity. we flicked lights, checked circuit board, nothing worked. we called guest services and texted too. The response was not immediate. They ask us to get in touch with local manager & said they are letting local team know, they will help. We were 7 adults age 65+. Meanwhile with 1 bedroom out we had to see how we are going to arrange sleeping arrangement while electricity is fixed.There was one single extra mattress under bunk bed. There was no extension wire or anything which we can hookup. We decided that one will sleep on small sofa in living room, one on that extra mattress on floor. I ended up sleeping with few comforters spread on floor. We are aged 65+ & it was very inconvenient to get up from floor. Vacasa, their entire team, local team was utterly unreliable. I have developed back ache. It was my daughter’s wedding & two of us family members were suffering from back ache. It was hard to move, walk after sleeping on floor, were unable to enjoy wedding. We called several times to local office, texted local office, but every time they did not had any update. On 3rd day a handyman came BY MISTAKE, as he was looking to repair washing machine. He was unable to fix. Next day local manager Shannon texted that she was off and since it is long weekend, they were unable to find electrician, & will fix by Tuesday. we were leaving on Monday. I am asking for refund. I am calling, texting yet noth

Nice place

Property is nice. We did enjoy our stay. The porch was very dusty, covered in dead bugs, needed sweeping. The spa was cloudy and there was noone available to check it. Inside was clean. It would be nice to provide more than 1 trash bag, since it is required to bag all garbage. Definitely not enough towels, had to purchase laundry detergent and wash towels daily. Ceiling fans are noisy. Especially master upstairs, could be a bad capacitor. Overall a nice place.

Nature and privacy

We loved our stay! Wish there was a king sized bed as my husband and I don’t fit into a double bed so we had to sleep separately. That’s my only criticism! Beautiful place!

Secluded

We chose this property for the seclusion and pet friendliness. It was both!! Sylva and Cherokee are located a short distance down the road to fulfill your needs. The home was stocked with everything you could need kitchen wise. The one thing I wish the owner knew- there was not one stitch of toilet paper in the home. We travelled in late Wed for Thanksgiving and there were not any store open to accommodate those needs Thursday. The bidet in the upstairs bathroom was a fantastic surprise though. Highly recommend the property!! It’s beautiful!!

Dirty and uncomfortable

The home is well appointed. However, is filthy. The shower curtain has slimy red mildew. No excuse for that. The dishes in the cabinet were NOT clean. The hot tub had way too much chlorine. Toxic levels. The dining room elevated table is very uncomfortable. Not really usable. The couch is disgusting with dirt, hair and stench. The bed linens on my bed were not clean. I could smell the oil from the last occupant. Really!!! I paid for a clean cabin. And I paid to have it cleaned after I left. Sorry person who is in charge of cleaning. Really!

Nice home but need to make cleanliness a priority

The home was nice and the kitchen was well-stocked with cookware. The Wi-Fi and streaming televisions worked well. However, it was hard to overlook the missed attention to detail with the cleanliness of the master bedroom. The first night, I found an ear plug in the sheets. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that the sheets hadn't been changed at all. There was hair and dirt in the sheets. There was also hair on the wall of the master bedroom shower and soap residue from a previous guest.
