Fishing paradise in the smokey mountains
An amazing place to stay. Clean, comfortable and perfect. If you are looking for a place to stay for fishing as we were this, is it. Do not look any further. Walk out the door and start fishing the Tuck right away or call a guide. Best trip in a while.

Relaxing river vacation spot
We had a very relaxing vacation. The home is situated in front of a large river that you can float down and fish from. The house was stocked well and was surface clean.

Nice property
Family reunion of 11. House perfect for us. Well equipped We enjoyed playing in the river. A little road noise from across the river we did not expect but tolerable. We had some problems with the "Local VACASA Team" and were not able to use the grill. They never sent someone out to fix it like they said they would but that is not the house's or owner's fault. The house was very nice and we were glad we rented it. Thank You!.

Great for groups
We are a group of 5 couples who are college buddies from over 50 years ago. Finding places with 5 bedrooms with separate bathrooms is tough but this place was ideal. Everything was neat, clean, quiet and well stocked. Everyone was well pleased!

A weekend by the water
Tbe house was great, mostly clean (there was a baby spider in one of the night lights in one of the basement bedrooms but that's kind of unavoidable in the mountains). There was a cricket or something outside/near/in the pipes (I'm not really sure where) the queen bedroom in the basement and I could barely sleep it was so loud and so frequent. When I went outside to check it out, I couldn't hear the cricket, so I don't know where it was coming from. All the other rooms were geeatand we had a blast hanging out and enjouing the amazing food in Sylva 😊

As described and recommended
Five stars for a great house exactly as described. Excellent furnishings and well kept. It might be helpful to others to note that this is not a secluded mountain spot--it's near town, among some other houses. Across the river is a busy road, which creates quite a bit of traffic noise on the porch and in the yard. Didn't detract from our stay, especially since we were happy to be close to town and not on an isolated mountain, but worth mentioning for others looking at this property. We would go back.

Great location for a family reunion!
The house was beautiful and very spacious with everything we needed for a weeklong family reunion. We had ages 2 to 77 from North Carolina to Texas everyone enjoyed the space. The bedrooms were spaced nicely, and you could go to bed early or stay up late without bothering those that were sleeping. Having two kitchens (especially an extra fridge) helped keep everything cold. We really enjoyed the river front location. The porch furniture was great for gathering for evening games and my husband played his guitar for everyone. We floated in tubes from the Jackson County Greenway down to the house. The kids tied the tubes to a rope and hung out in the water at the house. Some got a guide and went trout fishing; we did the white-water rafting trip from Dillsboro River Company, we saw many waterfalls, Elk & some shopping in Cherokee and lots of brewery visits.

Summer Getaway
Tuck away Retreat was a beautiful home that was clean and very accommodating. We had 10 staying in the house, 4 kids 7-10 years old and a granny that was 95, and everyone was very comfortable. We fished and tubed the river, had multiple fires in the fire pit, made s’mores, white water rafted the Nantahala, went horseback riding,visited Cherokee, and had a nice time for a day in Dillsboro. We would definitely do it again
