About this property
Swim Fish Hike. We have what you want!
Our three level home is full of personalized details that we have created and added throughout the years. It is a cozy and spacious home that we have filled up with family and laughter, shared meals and bible studies, and even hosted workshops for small groups.
You'll find the master bedroom containing one queen-size bed and the master bath on the main level of the house. Upstairs are two bedrooms: the first contains a queen-size bed with a double-size trundle bed underneath, and the second has a double-size bed and twin-sized daybed. There are also two twin beds in the loft. A full bathroom with tub/shower combo and double sink are on this level.
The basement has a comfortable TV room, a pool table, and a new full bathroom with a shower. From here you'll have access to the large two-level deck around the above-ground pool, hot tub, and fire pit for those cooler nights. You'll find plenty of comfortable seating here to enjoy the views, share meals, and sip your morning coffee. This is one of our favorite spaces in the house!
The main level of the house contains the large dining table that can seat 6 people with an additional 2 seats available at the kitchen bar. You'll find an open concept kitchen/dining/living room, with full laundry room and large pantry off the fully stocked kitchen. There is also an additional sitting room / office space with wireless printer if you need to get some work done. We have wireless internet and Roku TV for you to be able to stream your favorite shows. From the main level, walk out onto the porch and upper deck for amazing views of the sunsets over the mountains, or of the clouds and fog settled into the valleys in the morning.
This home's location is the perfect mix of quiet seclusion and proximity , as it is only minutes from stores, restaurants, and Western Carolina University. The driveway is steep, but fully paved, and accessible to most any vehicle, two or four wheel drive. From here, you are less than an hour away from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Nantahala Gorge, the Blue Ridge Parkway, The Great Smoky Mountain Railway, The Biltmore Estate, Cherokee, white water rafting, tons of great hiking and mountain biking, and lots of great places to shop and eat. It's the perfect central location to get to almost everything that the mountains have to offer.
We would love to host your family getaway, your small group retreat, or even be a place for your creative writing and artist respite. Come be inspired here!

We were here for WCU Homecoming! Loved the house! Loved the prayer room as well! All the bedrooms were very comfortable! Loved that it was close to WCU! We will definitely stay again!
What a truly amazing find. The property was even better than pictured, and everything was in grand order. Inside was delightfully cozy, with perfect decorations everywhere. So many useful and different spaces, really made us feel at home. Everyone had an amazing time and we are already planning a return trip. Thanks so much to the host!!!
We had amazing time staying in Sylva! The home had everything we needed and was so cozy and relaxing! The pool, hot tub, and pool tables were huge hits with our kids. The home has lots of space to spread out, with plenty of cozy seating areas to read the large selection of books. We loved that the home is in a great location, close to everything. Shopping and restaurants were only 8 minutes away. We plan to stay there again soon!
Easy check in, loved the home and all the special details that were all through the house. It was a special place where special memories were created with my family. A weekend was not enough time! Thank you Hannah for all the things you and your husband have done to make this home so special.

Thank you Paula, come back for a longer stay soon!
We really enjoyed this property. Great for kids with the pool and outside deck. Great view and peaceful place to stay. Location is central to the area with a lot to do.
Our family had a great time so much to do. We just enjoyed the property and hanging around making memories. Owner is very helpful and quick to respond. Loved this place
We celebrated my daughters 20th birthday. The house was the perfect space for all of us and the outdoor space is amazing. Location is convenient to everything as well.
We had the perfect stay in this area, largely due to this lovely, charming property in a great location! The pool and hot tub were great! Beds were so comfortable, and there are so many cool touches throughout this home. So many things nearby… hiking, shopping, restaurants… went to Biltmore in Asheville one day, and was an all day trip. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Beautifully decorated home. Secluded with pool and hot tub. Was greeted on arrival and shown the property. It has everything needed for a relaxing get away. Gorgeous views
We had a group of family and friends for a Western game and this property is even better than the listing! The details, the coziness and cleanliness was incredible! They even left stuff for s’mores! We will definitely be back!

Thanks Julie, can’t wait until y’all head back!! So grateful your trip was incredible!!
The hosts are very nice and polite, they recomended us places to go and eat. The amenities were great, we had some bad weather but there was still plenty to do inside such as darts, the pool table, and board games. Sitting on the porch with the quietness and the view was very peaceful and relaxing. Location is great, right next to town with a walmart and multiple restaurants. We had six people and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out or lounge together in the livong room.
This home is absolutely Gorgeous! So unique with such Character! Every room is a little different, with its own special touches. The home is beautiful in every way! The view is absolutely Gorgeous! My family and I especially loved how much we were surrounded by God and we all felt so at peace in this home! Absolutely gorgeous and HIGHLY recommend this home for anyone and your family who are looking for a beautiful, peaceful, heavenly getaway!
The photos do not do this home justice. It is just stunning. Everything is so clean. Hannah and Clint have thought of everything you would ever need and included it in the house. The porches were perfect for hanging out and catching up. When the sun was too much on the patio we found ourselves enjoying the pool table inside. Lots of room for three couples. We plan to return. You can't ask for more attentive hosts. The area is so peaceful. Highly recommend.
This beautiful home beyond exceeded our expectations! The pics were great and accurate but there is SO much more to this property and home than we had imagined! It’s quiet and secluded and I swear there wasn’t a single thing we needed that we couldn’t find here! The view from the back deck and pool was breathtaking night after night! Everything you need for cooking/cleaning, pool toys/floats/towels, and ample amount of linens, blankets and pillows, endless board games… I could go on and on! On top of all of this the hosts were easy to communicate with and so very kind and thoughtful. We were just blown away by this trip and we would most definitely return or recommend to anyone!

Thank you Kim! It was our pleasure to host your family. You were an exceptional guest! We can’t wait to see y’all again and again!
My family & I enjoyed every feature this wonderful property had to offer. There were multiple areas where we could all gather as a family while also offering several spaces for us to separate and be alone. I can’t begin to describe the view to give it justice, simply beautiful. We are already planning our return. The property owners went above and beyond leaving thoughtful touches throughout the home making it an unforgettable stay for my family. They paid attention to every detail, this was evidenced by the cleanliness of the property as well as the joyful welcome we received upon arrival. We all felt at home, only better.
Thank you Hannah and Clint

Thank y’all so much for choosing to stay with us. It was our pleasure to serve your family. We are so thankful our home created such wonderful memories for you guys. Our prayers have been answered! See y’all soon.
God has surely blessed Hannah and Clint to offer such a wonderful experience for their guests. There were so many little details that are often overlooked in other vrbo rentals I have stayed in. Not here. They think of everything. They work hard at making you feel right at home. The serenity this little place offers is beyond a 5 star rating. You feel you are all alone yet close to everything. This is definitely going in the memory bank of places to return. Something for all ages. You wo t be disappointed.

We enjoyed meeting you and your family and we can’t wait to see you guys again! Thank you so much!!
We've stayed a lot of VRBO homes, and never have we been in one so decorated/appointed in this way. From fresh cut flowers on the table, to tabletop devotionals on the day of your check-in, everything seemed to be brand new and well thought out. You can tell this was a home lovingly lived in for 20 years. There were also extras for everything, like toys for the pool, and TONS of outdoor seating to enjoy the large size pool and hot tub! Their was even a good view from the house of the adjacent mountain range.
The homeowners met us the first day to ensure our check-in went smoothly, and were very sweet and attentive to anything we needed. We especially enjoyed reading about the root intent behind establishing the home as a vacation rental.

Thanks Warren! It was our pleasure to host your sweet family!! We are so blessed that you enjoyed your time in the mountains. Can’t wait to y’all back !!
We booked this place on a bit of a whim, as it's a newer listing. But our family had a GREAT time here! We've stayed a lot of rental places and this was one of the best. The hosts were very accommodating and their communication was really great. If we had any questions at all, they got back with an answer quickly.
The house itself was really great. It had lots of room, everything was very comfortable, and had all the things you need to stay a week from home (pots, pans, soap, towels, games, etc.).
You'll be hard press to find a home with a better view. We found ourselves taking pictures of the sunset pretty much every night because no one sunset is the same. You even have two decks to choose from where to sit and take in the sunset - or you can choose for the hot tub if you want!
Our kids loved the pool, the games, the pool table and the fun upstairs rooms.
A few other side notes worth considering with this home:
The town of Sylva is really great. We were originally wanting to go to Asheville but found ourselves really liking Sylva instead so we never made that trip. It's a really cute, quaint little town.
There is a ton of great hiking within 30 minutes of this home. If you want to avoid the chaos of some of the tourist traps, this place is just for you.
This place is super quiet! No street noise - nothing. Super peaceful and relaxing. But, the best part is they still have a strong cell signal and good wifi!
Such a great place. We'll definitely consider returning.

About the host
Hosted by Hannah Menacof 828-507-2356
Hey! We're Clint and Hannah. We became empty nesters this year in 2022 and we are so excited to start a new business through renting our home. We are multi business owners and are stepping into this new life of adult children with excitement. We have a successful cleaning company, fully staffed, so cleanliness should never be a concern for you during your stay with us. We love our home and have lots of our creative style throughout the house. I (Hannah) am not afraid of paint colors. We are strong followers of Jesus Christ and love people. We work in addiction recovery and are in the developmental stages of forming a faith based transition center called "A City Not Forsaken", where individuals can come successfully transition back into business and family. We both love leadership and leadership development. We teach and train leaders in many platforms from churches to organizations and down to the individuals. We definitely have the hope that renting our home builds lasting relationship with many of our guests, along with Kingdom connections for our future. Many of the profits from this rental will fund "A City Not Forsaken". You can feel good about where your money is going! Check us out at clintandhannah.com
Why they chose this property
This property is a longline of family land. The home is only 20 years old and I (Hannah) have raised my boys here. 10 years ago Clint and I met and married shortly after and continued to raise our blended family here in this home. Our home is peace and rest. It feels good to walk in this home. It is cozy, and so stinking cute. I create and Clint builds, we're a great pair. The history of all our company that has come and gone through the years, here are some comments that are repeated over and over. "I slept so good", It's so peaceful here", "It smells good", "It just feels so good here". Needless to say we have been blessed to create an atmosphere that is light and peaceful. We are excited for you to come and receive rest from your work/life, and reconnect with yourself. We pray your stay here is everything you needed and you walk away in balance to face whatever lies ahead of you.
What makes this property unique
We are local and make sure everything is in excellent shape for our guests. We are grateful that we don’t have to rely on others to manage the conditions of our home.
