OTHER NOTES

INTERNET:

We also added Starlink internet. This has greatly enhanced internet quality.

HOT TUB:

During the hottest time of the year, from June to September, there should be an expectation that the hot-tub will be off-line.

If the hot-tub is undergoing maintenance or repairs and is unavailable during your stay, there is no discounts or refunds. We will do our best to make it available in the non-summer months but there is no guarantees.

Please note that in the event we need to drain the hot tub after your stay, there will be a fee of $350 to cover the cost of maintenance and cleaning. We strive to keep our hot tubs in excellent condition for all of our guests to enjoy, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping them in top shape.

No glass in or near the hot tub or pool. If there's any remnants of glass, guest will be charged a $2,000 fee.

• We allow up to two dogs to join you in your stay for an additional $200 pet fee
• Pets should not weigh more than 50 lbs
• Pets are not allowed on the furniture
• Pets must be supervised at all times
• Pets must be declared upon reservation

REMINDER: We highly recommend guests to use a 4-wheel drive during WINTER. In the case of a snow storm, either a 4-wheel drive and/or chains on the tire are a requirement.

The garage has been transformed into a game room, making it unavailable for parking cars.

Plenty of parking is available on the driveway.

There are so many things to do around Sylva. Just minutes away from Smoky Mountain, Sylva is home to a quaint mountain scene with plenty of shops to visit such as for ice cream, crafts, gems, food and souvenirs. Hike, bike, raft and fish all within minutes of the cabin! Check out the Cherokee reserve where Harrah’s Casino is located, then explore into the Blue Ridge Parkway for breathtaking views.

Western Carolina University is also about 8 minutes. Dillsboro is a cute river-front village with restaurants and shops about 8-10 minutes from our home and is a stop for the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad! In Asheville, approximately an hour away, explore The Biltmore Estate or check out the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and tour the production facility. Downtown Asheville has so many shops to visit and diverse restaurants to stop by & get a bite.

Feel free to ask for any recommendations and we will be glad to assist you and suggest things around!

New Year’s Eve!
We had a wonderful time in the mountain house. Gorgeous views. The kiddos loved their hot tub time while the parents hung around the campfire. It was a great place to ring in the New Year! 🎊

This was a lovely place. We wish we could have stayed longer.
This property was the closest one to Bryson City that was available on vrbo which is why we chose it. That being said, we would choose it again hands down. The view was beautiful and the cabin was very nicely appointed. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area or the smokey mountains in general.

Incredible Home & Host!
We had a great time at Jeremy’s place. The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures (even better). The neighborhood is very conveniently located to hiking, breweries, fishing and the lovely town of Sylva! Would absolutely recommend to stay there!

About the host

Hosted by Jeremy

Host profile image
I've loved the mountain life since I was little spending my summers with family in Western North Carolina.

When I was younger and my family moved to North Carolina. I love Sylva and everything about it. People are friendly, the water is calm, and the lake has a rural charm while being within an hour from the research triangle and Chapel Hill (where I grew up).
