About this property
Fire Pit & Porch: Rustic Retreat in North Carolina
Escape to the mountains of Sylva, NC, when you stay at this cozy 1-bed, 2-bath vacation rental. Sip a warm cup of coffee on the charming and spacious front porch before exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or brewery-hopping in the area's trendy mountain towns. After visiting scenic waterfalls and casting a line, return to the cabin for a movie night or roast s'mores by the fire pit. With its secluded location and rustic charm, this getaway is the perfect place to unwind in nature.
