Beautiful and Serene

This short getaway for my husband and I was magnificent thanks to the beautiful cabin, peaceful surroundings and unique town in Silva. The trip up the mountain was a thrill and there are so many cool shops and bookstores in downtown Silva, it was hard to decide whether to stay in or venture out! Communication with Lisa was incredible - she was quick to reply, informative, and so warm and pleasant. We will definitely be back!

Home away from home

This place has really become our home away from home. This was our fourth time and we enjoy the experience every time. The peacefulness of the area and the great view accentuate the loveliness of the cabin. The hosts are always great and easy to communicate with. If you need a quiet place to get away (while also not being far from shopping or outdoor hikes, this is the place to be.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Ware

Host profile image
My husband and I love Western North Carolina. We enjoy hiking, gardening and Saturday morning farmers markets in Sylva and Franklin. There is so much to do in Western North Carolina and you are surrounded by nature. This is what we've always wanted and dreamed of to live in the mountains!

Why they chose this property

We always wanted an authentic log cabin and this one is amazing due to the high quality craftsmanship of the cabin. This cabin is 'one of a kind' due to the long range mountain view and elevation at 3,600 feet. Also, the covered front porch with rocking chairs is pure serenity! If you want peace, tranquility
and time to get away from it all~~then this is the cabin for you!

What makes this property unique

This cabin is special for many reasons!!! Real log cabin; Modern Blaze electric fireplace; vaulted ceilings; outside fire pit facing the mountain; backyard picnic table with grill; hiking trails from the cabin; surrounded by nature! Wild turkeys frequent the property and are very entertaining to watch from the front porch. You will not only relax at this cabin, but you will go home and want to return again and again!
