Oct 23, 2024 #### Perfect location Loved our stay. Very private home in the middle of nature. But 15-30 mins from anything you’d want to do. Casino, rafting, restaurants, shopping etc. Was very happy with our stay. ##### Jesse L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason B. Nov 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent cabin in the hills We were very pleased with our stray at the Circle House. Its relatively close to Dillsboro and Sylva/Cullowhee. We went for a weekend to visit my son at WCU and were very pleased with our stay. You can tell the house is older, but has been recently updated in 2023\. The house has a very open and bright feel on the inside. There is a large kitchen/dining/living area (half of the whole house). So its excellent for gatherings. The beds were very comfortable (nice and firm). The guest bathroom is a bit snug. But overall at great experience. ##### Jason B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Rosa R. Oct 23, 2024 #### Fall mini vacation. I loved the area, and the house was very nice. ##### Rosa R. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Veronica M. Aug 4, 2025 #### A Perfect Getaway What a peaceful, serene place. This is not another random short-term rental. The Circle House is oozing with character and presence. You feel welcome as soon as you're in the door. There are board games galore, comfy bean bag chairs, a well-stocked kitchen, and even a nice acoustic parlor guitar ready for strumming. We arrived after dark so didn't fully realize what an awesome place the Circle House was until the next morning. We walked outside into a beautiful forest setting. We heard a babbling creek, saw a wild turkey and her two chicks meandering under towering trees, and grabbed a perfectly ripened peach to add to our breakfast cereal. The good vibes are strong with this one. If you're traveling in this beautiful area and the Circle House is available, don't hesitate. Book it while you can -- you will NOT regret it! A truly great value and a stop you won't forget. ##### Veronica M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
