Lovely setting and fun for kids

We loved our stay. There were a few minor issues that the owner said would be fixed soon. We loved the stream and natural setting as well as all the extras we found to keep the kids entertained - inner tubes, foosball, etc.

Love this property

This was our second stay at this house. It was just as beautiful as we remembered it. It is the perfect location to disconnect and relax. The kids loved exploring the river and the adults took advantage of the deck. The owner is very responsive and accommodating. Couldn't ask for a better spot.

Great kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were perfect. Only two complaints: mosquitoes and it was a long way to the nearest grocery store and dumpster. Directions to the dumpster could have been much clearer. Great deck and reasonably private.

In the pines, on the piney river

This lovely little cottage on the piney river was the perfect place to celebrate 35 years of marriage. The setting was beautiful and the accommodations spacious yet intimate. The cottage demonstrates an obvious history of love and good memories. We fished the section of river assigned and got skunked. The beauty of the setting was more than compensation for this disappointment. The owners have set up a welcoming, warm and friendly vibe that made it a pleasure to stay at Sycamore Shade. We would like to return!

Lovely home with cleaning issues

Lovely location and home with comfortable beds. But very dirty on arrival-- muddy paw prints on interior doors maybe from the last guest's dog, pubic hair in showers, refrigerator filthy with enough dried on food spillage that the condiments left by previous guests were stuck in place. Kitchen drawers and cabinets had crumbs and stuck on food. Droppings in kitchen under sink and in corners. At one point, removed sofa cushion looking for misplaced remote and found popcorn, dried out candy, food wrappers and dirt. Judging from other reviews, this wasn't typical, so you may have better luck.

Mountain Getaway

The property was perfect, definitely as listed, well cared for, secluded and serene. Kitchen had all accessories needed for a variety of meals. The river has a very small rapid in front of the house providing great river sound. It is in the mountains, no cell service and grocery store 20 minutes away, bring everything with you. There is WiFi and a Keurig. My family group included a 12-yr old and 6 yr old twins. We did not leave the property, (other than hiking) and the kids were outside more than 6 hours every day. The property was a place of discovery for them, river in front, hills to climb behind and finding the ceramic forest friends the owners have hiding around the property. Fire pit and s'mores. It was fall and the foliage was great! Introduced the kids to wax paper leaf ironing.

Everything was as described in listing. Beautiful property both inside and out. My family & I enjoyed the stay. Water was a little cool for us in September but our pup thoroughly enjoyed the river as well. The sound of the running water is very peaceful. The only suggestion I would make is adding a television in the master suite (personal preference) and add a few more towels & wash cloths. Great home. I highly recommend.

Wonderful home in a beautiful setting! Very comfortable beds and excellent amenities. Pleased that there’s wi-if now! Wish there is a better solution for trash disposal, as we had a hard time finding the dump and it was closed, even though the sign said it should be open. We had a great time and plan on returning for a 5th stay.

Unique house and location - gorgeous property

My friends and I loved this house and property. It was bigger than expected and the 5 total bedrooms were perfect to fit everyone. It’s right by a beautiful creek and it’s lovely to hear all times of the day. You can tell the hosts care about the property because it was well stocked with various things and has all sorts of items to do/play/use while staying there. I love the decorations in the house as well. It was unique and had lots of personality. I would love to stay here again in the future.
