This is the perfect place for a couple wanting to get away for a weekend. We've done it twice now, in back-to-back years, and plan to keep going as often as time allots.
The house is very accessible and is a breeze to get to relative to other mountain homes. Just stay on the throttle and you'll trudge right up the mountain, no issues. Google Maps essentially leads you right to it, but signage all the way up the mountain is very clear.
There's never any complaints about the cleanliness or hospitality that the hosts provide. They make sure everything is in tip-top condition before arrival. Communication is very clear, access is easy; you can tell they care and put a lot of time into this.
For having an neighboring house, it feels so private. Our favorite part during our stays has been chilling on the fully-covered patio, taking in the view of the mountain range in the background. There's a fire pit and grill that we have enjoyed a time or two as well.
Plenty of things to do within a 15min radius either way you go. We typically hit the casino in the evening, but during the day, we jump over to Sylva to enjoy good food and brewery's.
Haywood Smokehouse is a must-try for BBQ. Lucy in the Rye is a nice spot for a brunch. Innovation Brewing is a cool vibe with a pizza spot attached to it.
Looking forward to our next trip out. Thanks so much!
