The cabin overall was great, the road noise during the day is a little loud in the kitchen but we werent usually there during the day. The only issue we had is the TV had the option for netflix or Disney but once selected, none of the remotes would work within those apps.

Really a neat place. Great hosts too!

They did a really good job of sprucing the place up nicely. Apple tree, fire pit, great view, very homey, comfortable beds and nice people hosting. Definitely a top pick if your looking for a good little stay up in the mountains.

Very comfortable stay for one night to explore Sylva. We were super happy with ease of check in and communication with the host! The property is near a busy highway but the noise did not bother us and we all slept great. Beautiful Mountain View to wake up to!

New favorite home away from home!

Upon entering the home, I immediately wished my five night stay could be extended! The cabin is comfortably furnished and has a well supplied kitchen. Great tv/internet, the grandchildren loved that! And you will really appreciate the very comfortable beds every night. You feel as if you’re at home the interior is so warm and inviting! It’s in a great location with easy access. And the Host was a joy to communicate with. We will definitely return to this cozy cabin!!

Great Cabin

This Cabin was a great surprise, such a cute place. We stayed 5 days. It was clean, very welcoming and supplied with everything your could need. except your food of course. We visited friends and it put us with in minutes of them. We had no problems with anything. Others mentioned highway noise but it was really not a problem for us. We had our little dog with us and it was easy taking him out to potty. If we visit the area again we will defiantly be back if available. Decorated nicely, great sitting Poarch. Although we did not use BBQ or out side fire pit everything was there for us to use. TY for a great stay.

Host was very helpful when we had a plumbing issue. She came over right away and fixed the problem easily. She was very kind. One complaint we had was a lot of the dishes were dirty. I guess the previous guests didn't wash the dishes very well and the host didn't check them before putting them away. We still had an enjoyable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Electa Taylor

Host profile image
Hi. My name is Electa Taylor. I like seeing people happy, enjoying life, and having family time, There is personal happiness in knowing I play a part in this. I've been in this business for almost 5 years now. I have kept super host status for most of this time period. I would love an opportunity to be a part of your vacation experience. As the host, property manager, and cleaner, I provide a clean, comfortable, and safe place for guests. I can be there in an estimated time frame of 45 minutes if there's any issues during a stay. I strive for you to have an experience that you would want to come back to and share with others.

Why they chose this property

Its home away from home feeling when I stay. My neighbors have been nice. I have a good view from my back porch. And the cabin sits to where I don't have to travel too far to get to things I enjoy or need. There's convenience in selecting this property verse seclusion from everything.

What makes this property unique

The cabin overlooks the mountains and highway. I find it is as interesting to vehicle watch as it is to people watch. Antique vehicles are the coolest to see but no telling what you might see. The cabin feels private. Everything including my neighbors are at a distance. I like how the cabin sits where I can access the highway easy. Especially on snow days. My favorite stores and adventures are not that far whether I go right or left on the highway. Lastly, the cabin sits between two fire departments and two hospitals. I feel comfortable and safe when staying here.
