We loved the house, the mother in law quarters were perfect for my brother who turned 80 years old during this trip. He had privacy, but also close to mingle with us when he wanted. Teen granddaughter and 8 year old sister loved the twin room with their own bath. Our small dogs loved the big yard. Would definitely stay here again.

Love this place. It's a cozy cottage nestled in the woods. Nothing but trees, mountain views and the sound of rushing water. We hiked from the house to both the Pinnacle trail and Black rock. 30 min drive to some of the best white water rafting in NC. Not our first time staying here and won't be our last.

My husband and I stayed here for a long anniversary weekend. It is very relaxing and house is very nice. The gas logs in the living room were my favorite. I would most definitely stay here again.

We had such a great vacation. It was really neat that the place had a view and a trickling stream. I enjoyed playing the electric piano and we love using the fire pit. This this was one of the best stays we've had in the mountains.

This property was secluded and up a steep gravel drive as advertised. What was missed was that there was only one good shower for a house that can hold 7 people. The master bedroom has a lovely soaking tub but no shower. We are a close family and shared the other shower but it would be awkward with multiple families

if you want privacy, views and clean accommodations this would be first choice.

Everything about the property was more than what we expected. Sundog Realty made everything so easy and the home was very clean and welcoming. Will definitely stay again!!!

My family (myself, husband and 2 kids) stayed here for a week. We really enjoyed staying up a mountain and it was nice and private. A few nights we had a fire and roasted s'mores and hot dogs over the fire. The home was equipped with plenty of towels, soap, and essentials we needed. There was plenty of space in the home for us but be prepared for about a 7-8 min drive up the mountain to the home. We got used to it after the 2nd day. The town is really nice and quiet but also close to different destinations for our trip. We had a really enjoyable stay.

This was a nicely furnished cabin off a very secluded mountain road. Our issue with the shower handles not working was resolved quickly with helpful handy-man. I would stay again. Management Response: Thank you! We're so happy to know that you enjoyed your stay!

What a terrific place to get away from it all. The time in the mountain air was just what the family needed and the Holliday House provided the perfect back drop. The icing on the cake was being able to include my pups. Management Response: Thank you! We hope to host you again in the future!

The house was very clean and well stocked for a weekend getaway. The views were amazing and on full display from the hammock room, bedroom and jacuzzi soaking tub. Definitely will return! This is the perfect spot for some low key r and r.

We stayed at The Holliday house for the weekend as our daughter graduated from WCU. It was PERFECT for us! The home was beautiful, comfortable and met all of our needs! The views are breathtaking! I am always nervous because my Mother has mobility issues, but there were NO ISSUES! There was a ramp into the main house, only a small step into the MIL Suite and 2 walk in showers. She chose to stay in the main house so our daughters could have their own space, and we couldn't have had a more pleasant experience. The house is so pretty and super comfy! Would love to stay there again if we were in the area. Only wish we had known about it while she was still in college! Also, the Management Company was super helpful and so quick with responses to my many questions.

We enjoyed our stay at The Holiday house. It was very cozy, private and peaceful. Everything was clean and we had a great time! The drive up was a bit stressful for my parents ( they are in their 70’s) and my mom wanted to make sure we were back before dark each night because of the mountainous drive up to the house. Otherwise very nice!

Loved almost everything about this house. Nicely furnished, good layout, beautiful views from everywhere, including the patio, garden tub and little 'hammock' room (which we used as a meditation/yoga studio :). The separate cottage was adorable, well decorated and private. The only concern on the location is that it is quite high up on the mountain and the roads getting there are very narrow and winding. While I don't think this would be an issue for anyone used to this type of driving, we are 'flatlanders' from Florida so it took us a bit of time to get the hang of it. We were especially cautious once it got dark and on rainy days. We were there for a month so by the time we left we were much more comfortable with it. The only other suggestion would be since there is no shower in the master bathroom it would be nice to at least have a handheld shower/faucet combo on the garden tub. We had to use either the 2nd bathroom shower (which is only accessible by going through the 2nd bedroom) or head out to the cottage, which was a bit inconvenient when family was visiting and occupying these areas. We love the town of Sylva and all the surrounding towns (Waynesville, Dillsboro, Cherokkee), and of course the lower temperatures and humidity. We will definitely be back next summer...! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us...

We wanted to go on vacation but stay safe from COVID (i.e., avoid people). This house met all of our requirements, including leaving time between bookings and having no immediate neighbors. We also wanted to stay in the mountains and preferably have a creek and a firepit for s'mores (requests from my daughter), and wanted wi-fi. Once we checked off those boxes, this place keeps on giving. The house was very clean and exactly as advertised, it looked just like the pictures. We asked a couple of questions before booking, and got responses very quickly. Communications from the renting party came out regularly leading up to our trip, and I felt comfortable that if I had additional questions or concerns, I could have asked. We saw turkeys almost every day, walking in the open field area to the side of the house, and right before we left we saw a bunch of baby turkeys! One day there was a ruckus outside, and there was an epic battle between a large snake (clearly not venomous, I familiarized myself with possible local venomous snakes beforehand) and a turkey, both still trying to kill and eat the other. The good news is we weren't traumatized by watching one die, it ended in a draw, and both went off looking for dinner that is less likely to kill them. We did not use the mother-in-law suite as we only had 3 people, but we looked inside and it looked like the pictures. The house was perfect for us, and except during a few storms, the wi-fi was perfectly adequate for 2 adults and a teenager. The house also has satellite TV, which worked fine even during the storms. Upon arrival, we could hear the creek, so we checked it out (some of the wood on the stairs/path down to the creek is starting to rot, so be careful, but it didn't give when we walked on it), and it wasn't quite as exciting as the creek sounds advertised while up at the house, but my daughter was quite happy just to hear it throughout the visit. The drive in is on both paved and unpaved roads, somewhat steep in some areas and some pretty impressive switchbacks, but we were fine in our Florida car with Florida tires and only 2 wheel drive. The first couple of times coming into the very steep driveway were a little scary for those of us not used to huge hills, but fortunately my husband was driving, and he thought the whole drive was fantastic. My teenager just loved sitting in the hammock in the corner room and enjoyed the views for hours. The location was great, with a gas station not far.

The drive is worth the view! We found everything we needed for a wonderful family week away. Sundog Realty was helpful every step of the way. Loved our stay.

This was my families first experience in the mountains. I couldn’t have asked for a better place. The view from the back deck was amazing. The house made us feel at home the whole time. The in law suite was the perfect size for my mom. I couldn’t have asked for a better place.

We had a enjoyed our time and everything about this place.

It was a nice setup, few issues though. Fireplace did not work, one of the burners on the oven did not work, checkout procedure different from email to what was in the house didn’t know what to do exactly. Showers were extremely small, spiders and webs in bathroom, rugs were filthy, place needed a good deep clean.

We decided to start a new Thanksgiving tradition this year. We decided to do a mountain trip. We are so glad we did. This home felt like home and had everything we needed and more. I would definitely get this place again.

We reserved the Holliday house for all of the outdoor things described for the location and we were not disappointed, we had a fantastic time outdoors.

This has been one of my favorite homes we’ve vacationed to over the past 10 years in WNC. It was so comfortable and cozy.
