Well appointed and so neat/clean!
This house met every expectation for our first trip to Sylva. Every room was equipped with things to make your stay comfortable. We had everything we needed (and then some!). The kitchen was fully stocked and we cooked most of our meals at home. The beds were extremely comfy as well as the furniture. It's very close to a lot of things as well-downtown Sylva, tubing/kayaking/rafting at Dillsboro River Company, 20 min drive to Bryson City for the Smoky Mountain Railroad and other fun activities! I could go on and on, but Kevin and Maria are 5 star hosts who were very quick to respond and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Beautiful, peaceful mountain retreat!
Our stay at this beautiful, NC mountain home was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the mountain views and peaceful atmosphere. The home itself is immaculately maintained and offers all the comforts one can ask for. The kitchen is full equipped making it easy to prepare meals while the bedrooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. One highlight was the screened-in porch where we enjoyed morning coffee and evenings drinking wine and watching the lightning bugs. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive providing detailed instructions and local recommendations. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this mountain home to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Hidden Gem
This cabin is a hidden “gem”! This place should be in Better Homes and Gardens!” Just want you to know that this cabin retreat is one of the best I have ever encountered. It is not only welcoming but very comfy cozy. A “home” with every available amenity provided! As a creature of comfort I could not have been more comfortable! Thank you!

Magical and cozy
We stayed at Sylvan Lea with both of our young kids for a Christmas getaway and it could not have been more perfect! The location was secluded and private yet very close to all the essentials needed for food and groceries. We enjoyed the small towns nearby for some last minute Christmas shopping and spent a few of the days just relaxing in the cozy cabin with a log in the fireplace. The worst part of our trip was leaving!

Birthday Getaway
This house is spectacular! 5 stars all the way around! The house is decorated so elegantly, from the flooring to the furnishings to the kitchen utensils and even the swing on the porch, everything is so intentional, thoughtful and classy. We slept so comfortably and woke up to an amazing view of the mountains every morning. It is exactly what we needed after stepping away from busy city life. The house is tucked away and surrounded by trees everywhere, yet the location is perfect, just minutes away from downtown Sylva. Thankfully we were there for perfect weather and the leaves in full fall bloom. So many pictures! The host were super responsive and most accommodating. We very much appreciate Kevin and Maria providing us the space to unwind, reconnect and take in the beauty that surrounds this cabin. North Carolina is so beautiful and the Great Smoky Mountains do not disappoint. We will definitely be returning to this fine abode!

Fantastic Stay
My cousins and I had a fantastic time at this gorgeous cabin. The location is convenient to Sylva, Cullowhee, and Dillsboro. All amenities and accommodations are just as listed. We enjoyed the fire pit and even made s’mores. The scenic view from every angle of the property was an extra bonus. This is an excellent home to simply get away.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Miller

Host profile image
We live in Western New York (Go Bills!) and enjoy hiking, antiquing, dining with friends, live music, biking, chicken wings, our kitty “ZuZu” and our Golden Retriever “Lexie.” However our greatest pleasure remains our two young grandsons Harrison and Jack !

Why they chose this property

The cabin is tucked quietly away near the end of the road beyond a property gate for privacy. The cabin sits atop a knoll upon land that is gently sloping, making it safe for children to play and explore. The mountain-facing porch has been screened in to minimize bugs and child safety, along with outlet covers & baby gates. You may occasionally hear a rooster!

What makes this property unique

Recently renovated, this cabin is a luxury property complete with high end finishes, amenities, furniture, and completely equipped to be your "home away from home!" . Newly added outdoor hangouts include a large smokeless fire pit in the backyard, a twin-size porch daybed swing on the front porch, and a hammock in the garden. Inside you can cozy up by the fire and watch a good movie, or have a cup of coffee or tea and take in the peaceful mountains first thing in the morning or your favorite beverage as the sun goes down in the two large rockers. This cabin has been outfitted to be a way of helping guests unplug, destress, relax, and take in each moment with friends or family for truly a memorable time!
