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.

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.

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!

Lovely creekside home
This was our second time in this cottage, and we already want to go back. We love the open floor plan and the kitchen is splendid -- too bad the restaurants were so good that we rarely cooked! The neighborhood is quiet, and sitting on the screen porch enjoying the fire pit and listening to the brook below is a first-class experience!

Beautiful setting, great location
We greatly enjoyed our stay. We used the firepit on the back porch and listened to the babbling brook, we cooked a delicious meal in the spacious kitchen and enjoyed takeout from the great nearby restaurants, and we watched baseball playoffs. The furniture and beds were comfortable and the heat/AC worked great. This cottage is so convenient to the scenic towns of Dillsboro and Sylva, yet it feels like a country getaway. We can't wait to come back!

The property was amazing. Was very impressed overall. Even the property manager seemed very nice.
I would rent from the property manager anytime. Was very nice overall. Might want to leave a note as to where things are located. Could not find a plug for the sink and took a little bit to find the router to reset. Other than that was very impressed.
