Nice clean place near downtown Sylva & WCU

Pleasant stay with clean, safe location. Easy in and out process. Didn't realize this was managed by another third party vacation rental manager and was a bit surprised by the cleaning fee & extra fees, but overall it was fine.

Great house close to downtown Sylva

Ripple Run is a great house with plenty of space and a cool layout. Nice kitchen, comfy beds, and the screened porch is fantastic for morning coffee or relaxing. Super close to downtown Sylva but also easy access to Dillsboro, Cullowhee, etc. Will definitely stay again if we’re back in the area.

Sweet Lane Cottage in Sylva, NC

We love the convenience of this vacation rental. Just a short drive into the quaint town of Sylva. It is a very quiet lane that this house sits on n the neighbors seem pleasant. This is the 2nd time that that our group has stayed at this house. Except for a few minor housekeeping issues. This is a Great Find ‼️ Donna Ball-Metcalf November 1st, 2024

Perfect !!!

Got away with the pups for a couple of days while work was being done on our house. Perfect fenced in area for the dogs. It’s comfortable, decorated well, clean, & close to town. Everything you’d need is there. Really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely stay again!

Just as advertised

House was clean & very comfortable. Good location to get to restaurants, grocery. Enjoyed the sunlights in living room. Didn’t like paying the management group over & above the VRBO fees. Won’t stay there again for that reason.

Back porch paradise!

The back porch is lovely! There is a little creek out back that is such a soothing sound while enjoying the porch (Donny worry, you can’t hear it inside). There is a gas fire pit that makes having a fire super easy. This a great home and well-equipped.

Warm comfortable home with great screened in porch. There are 3 comfortable bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (great hot water). High end appliances and well stocked kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed 4 nights at Ripple Run and would certainly stay there again.

Nice!

This is such a comfortable house - the furnishings and bedding were wonderful! The location is prime; just a few minutes away from the shops and restaurants of both Sylva and Dillsboro. Had it been warmer, the screened porch with the babbling brook would have been a fantastic place to spend a lazy afternoon. We only used the coffee maker and refrigerator, however all appliances seemed top notch. There was an issue with the heating system (most likely due to it being the first time turning the heat on since last spring), but we navigated it.
