"The staff was nice. Themission of the historic building turns hotel, is to maintain a relaxing vibe, so no television, no refrigerator, no elevators. Climate control was efficient. A problem was with checking out and their confusion on how to handle a booking that is paid for through Hotels com. Supposedly, it is a new computer system and they'll fix it. So far I'm out close to $180 on top of the amount charged to my cc by Hotels dot com. I have brought it to their attention and will hopefully...

Cozy Cabin Overlooking Tuckaseegee River Sylva, NC 28779

8/10 Good

"Everything was great in the cabin! Beautiful furniture pieces, lots of games if someone wanted to play, plenty of linens, blankets, and throws for cooler days. “Porch sitting” area is perfect for relaxing and watching the river. Outside lighting is great for returning after dark which was very much appreciated. Well stocked kitchen. Lovely cabin and very much appreciated that we could have taken our dog. We didn’t this time, but maybe next time. Nice yard. Host was very responsive as our plans had to be changed. I have a much larger vehicle. There was a car in the parking area which made it more difficult to turn around for me."
