Recent Sylva guest reviews

We had an excellent stay at the cabin! It is important for guests to understand how far off the main road this cabin is. You travel about 2 very slow miles on a one-way dirt road to get to the property. With that in mind, we so appreciated the call from Vacasa making sure that we found the cabin ok. The cabin was very inviting, clean, and spacious for our family of four!

We actually didn’t originally book this home, we booked a different home through Vacasa- upon arrival to our first house we booked, it was un-cleaned and had been left in not the best shape by the previous guests. Vacasa sorted it out for us and gave us a couple of other options to make it right. We chose this home out of the two and to say we were so pleased and grateful for the switch, is an understatement. We have 3 small children, 5, 4, & 1 and this one could not have been better for our family. The downstairs area (perfect movie watching area/puzzle table), the games, the zip line, and the slide were all such big hits for our kiddos. The beginning of our vacation was a disappointment and I thought it wouldn’t go uphill but I was wrong! So grateful for being able to stay in this home. I now want to bring my extended family back for another family vacation some time soon.

My family and I had an outstanding weekend fishing at Tuckaway Retreat. We have stayed in this home multiple times and always love it. Plenty of space for all of us and the common areas are absolutely gorgeous. We look forward to a return trip to Tuckaway Retreat soon.
