Recent Sylva guest reviews

We were in town for a conference at Western Carolina University and wanted a more private lodging experience (as opposed to a local hotel). Moss Creek Cabin absolutely exceeded our expectations. The layout and decor was thoughtful and blended modern with antique/cabin-flared touches. The amenities were great as well. The kitchen was well stocked and all of the appliances were top notch, including a phenomenal coffee maker. The back and front deck had amazing lighting so that they could be enjoyed in the evening. No detail was left untouched, even down to the high-end linens. There was ample, level parking and entry to the home was easy, while safe. I will definitely book here again next year!

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 loved our stay here! The driveway up was steep but beautiful once you got to the top! The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. The hot tub on the screened in porch was perfect for a relaxing night! A lot of room for our group to spread out.
