A perfect Hideaway!
My family and friends stayed here, in the cutest little town of Sylva, shopped & dined (easy walk), then adventured to the Great Smoky Mountains Polar Express (which is only 20 minutes away). Definitely be back!

Would love to return!
Came into Sylva for the first time for a wedding. Home was awesome! Location was awesome! The hideaway had everything we could ask for. Was a quick trip only 2 nights, but we were able to easily walk to downtown and enjoy some of the great shops and restaurants. Planning to return for a longer visit in the future!

Perfect rental for our wedding week needs!
Such a lovely stay in a rental that provided for all of our needs ahead of our daughter's wedding this past weekend. Peaceful, quiet setting. A fabulous kitchen table to sit around for meals and conversation, or in our case wedding prep central to hold all the DIY embellishments for the wedding. A very comfortable space in general. Kudos to Jessica, the housekeeper, for maintaining the high standard of cleanliness required by Katherine, the lovely host. Katherine was ultra communicative and an understanding soul. Grateful to have had such a professional and kind human to communicate with. The front porch swing was a perfect spot to enjoy my morning cup of coffee. The fire pit area was our respite in the evenings, amply supplied with wood and chairs to accommodate any size guest. The location in general is very accessible to Main Street. If you are reading this, I encourage you to make your reservation right away. There is a reason this rental stays booked up!

Great place to stay!
This was probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed in through vrbo. All supplies promised were there. Surroundings were beautiful, including small creek, groundhogs, fireflies and a front porch cat my grandson named Thunder due to it being totally gray. The house was within a short walking distance of downtown Sylva, with many cute shops and places to eat. Several parks within a close drive or walk. Short driving distance to many fun family activities. In spite of being in the city the property is very quiet and private. 2 bedrooms up and 1 down, with futon in living room. We chose to sleep up in king size bed, but would probably take the downstairs next time due to steep stairs and bad knees. 😊 All bedrooms similar size and furnishings, all with TV. One bathroom up and one down. Kitchen well appointed, even 2 coffee makers. I could go on and on. Had a great time! Our 2 grandsons really enjoyed the public swimming pool in Sylva. We had been to Sylva and the pool previously, and it was actually one of the reasons we chose Sylva. Also went on GSMRR, white water rafting, gem mining, local "old-fashion" Quin theatre, met friends in Asheville for dinner one evening, and more. Wish we had another week. Didn't make it to Cherokee this time, which we also enjoy. Love Sylva and loved our stay in Kay's Hideaway. P.S. Wi-fi was fantastic! Much better that what we have at home (we live in the country!)
