4 Bedroom House in Sylva

Take it easy at this tranquil, private wooded, beautifully landscaped getaway 1.2 acres directly on the lazy shallow Tuckaseegee River in the lush mountains of western North Carolina. Close to Western Carolina University, greenway, historic downtown Sylva, Franklin, Webster, Cullowhee and Dillsboro in Jackson County.
Minutes to world class hiking, (8.6 miles to Pinnacle Park hiking area - 15-20 minute drive) breweries, shopping, antiquing, river and snow tubing, waterfalls in the heart of the glorious Blue Ridge mountains and the world famous Smoky Mountain National Park. Bring your fly rod and catch trout from the back yard! River is stocked with trout seasonally. Jump in and enjoy river tubing down to the Locust Creek river access 1/2 mile downstream. (approximately 1 hour float) Or put in upstream and float back down to the house (approximately 2 hours). In winter, ski Maggie Valley and Sapphire and ride the train in Bryson City!
Bring your firewood and enjoy the back yard fire pit. Snuggle up in four cozy bedrooms with 3 king beds and 2 twins with 100% white cotton sheets. Two full bathrooms with tubs, showers and bidets include towels, soap, shampoo, and hairdryers. The large kitchen is well stocked with Keurig and drip coffee makers, microwave, air fryer, dishes, glassware, pots and pans for the chef. Two large porches are perfect for watching the river flow past the back yard, listening to nature or doing absolutely nothing.
You will feel right at home with the curated decor, Wifi, smart TV, gas fireplace, a/c and heat. A public paved road leads to the house with ample parking in the large U-shaped driveway with 2 entrances. Feels like you're far away from it all but Walmart, Lowes, gas stations, groceries, downtown restaurants, breweries and UWC are all less than a 10 minute drive.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay. Location was very convenient for our needs. Beds were comfy and the host was very kind. The price is high and we had to handle our own trash, but those were the only negatives.
