The cabin is a cute place that is well maintained. Our getaway was specifically meant to retreat from the world instead of venturing out. Although comfortable, it really isn’t meant for you to spend full days there. There are two other permanent residences and two other rental cabins within very close proximity sharing the same single-car road/driveway, so there is no true feeling of seclusion or privacy. However, I will say that noise wasn’t an issue, as I spent a great deal of one day on the porch reading without distraction. Plan to drive a compact car or small SUV because it is difficult to turn around and the parking space holds only one vehicle. The parking space is basically a retaining wall with steady decline of 3-5 feet drop on the sides to the back, and it has no guard rails as a buffer. We drove our Silverado, and trying to maneuver it to turn around in the tight spacing was not great. The overall location is well placed between Sylva and Franklin, so you’re an easy drive to food and groceries. There are also many outdoor activities being so close to Nantahala. We spent the day of check-in in Sylva, and the shops and breweries there were my favorite thing we did. We highly recommend Lulu’s on Main (Sylva) and Kountry Kitchen (Franklin) for eating out, and Innovation Brewing (Sylva) for good beer and atmosphere. Overall, I would recommend this place for a couple wanting a conveniently located and comfortable place to stay. You’ll find a few extra details for guests upon arrival that make the stay a lot more welcoming than other places we’ve rented (keep an eye out for them).
