Homecoming at WCU 2023

The cutest studio near campus!! The owners were very accommodating and nice. They greeted us upon arriving and were very good at responding on the app if we had any concerns or questions. The home was very clean and they even had little supplies/goodies throughout the home. The walk to campus was also very short and easy. Definitely will be staying again!!

Football weekend at WCU

We had an amazing visit to Cullowhee! We were in town for a WCU football game and I could not recommend a better place to stay. Russ was easy to communicate with and the property was lovely. We will definitely visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Russ Seagle

I am the CEO of a financial services company, and my wife is the coordinator for transfer advising and a faculty member at the nearby community college. I travel a lot for business, usually staying in hotels. When we travel together (which is more frequently these days), we prefer short-term rentals. We want this to be the kind of place we'd like to rent, and we'll work hard to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

We've owned this house since 2003. A "new" master suite was added back in the early 1970s. When our kids moved out, we moved back into the "old" master suite to make way for a rental. Our location is perfect if you're a parent visiting a WCU student, or if you're coming for a campus tour. The space is designed to feel comfortable if you have to hang around (this is a temperate rain forest, and locals know that WCU stands for "We Carry Umbrellas!").

You won't want to spend too much time indoors, though. You might prefer a drive to Cherokee to visit the casino or watch some elk, or a shopping trip to Waynesville, Bryson City, Cashiers, or Dillsboro. If you're on two wheels, we can help you plan a route that will keep your knees in the breeze all day long. You bikers who prefer human power will enjoy the Fire Mountain Trails located in Cherokee. If 4-wheeling is more your speed, you'll want to hit the Wayehutta OHV trail and sling some mud.

No matter what you want to do in the mountains, Catamount Overlook is the place to start and end each day.

Why they chose this property

We designed this space especially for the comfort of those visiting WCU. We had one daughter graduate from WCU, and another who attended college in a small rural town halfway across the country. We know what it's like to drive long distance or have to fly to an airport an hour away from your destination. Catamount Overlook is ready to invite you in the moment you arrive. More than a hotel room, and not as cavernous as a house, this spacioius studio apartment has all you need within reach.

If you plan to work, we have super-fast wifi. There's a smart tv so you can access your favorite streaming service for tv and movies. The small but functional kitchen has everything you need for a night in, and your hosts will help you find the perfect dining experience for a night out.

What makes this property unique

If you're visiting WCU, there's no other place like Catamount Overlook. Leave your car behind and walk to campus or to one of the nearby off-campus apartment housing complexes. If you're attending a football game, skip the traffic and enjoy a 15 minute walk to the stadium. After the game, you'll be home before most fans get out of the parking lot.
