Recent Sylva vacation rental reviews

Wonderful views of the mountains off a large private deck. Hot tub was well maintained. Plenty of open space in the living room with a fantastic wood burning fire place.

This was one of the best places we’ve stayed. We loved our time here and I highly recommend.

Great Mountain Retreat! The kids loved walking to the creek. Views were great, and downtown Sylva is always charming! We will be coming back for sure.
