Spring Creekside Getaway at Whittier Cabin w/ Deck

• Beware of Bed Bugs

  2/5

  Let me preface this by saying that the property itself is very nice and so is the cabin. We arrived to the cabin as the sun was setting so we never got to enjoy or really see the property, but what little we did see looked just like the pictures.

  The cons: We only got to enjoy the cabin for 3 hours before discovering bed bugs. It was very unfortunate as this was our family's only opportunity to vacation together for the summer. We definitely were not going to stay at a place with bed bugs. So, we had to throw out all of our perishable groceries and make the 5 hour drive back home.

  The owners were kind enough to give us a full refund. I tried contacting them, Evolve, and their "local contact" directly upon the bed bug discovery but none of them could be reached (it was 11pm, so understandable). I did have a message from the owners apologizing and offering a refund first thing the next morning.

  Upon further discovery, I did find this rental listed on other popular rental sites and did find mention of bed bugs in at least 2 other reviews. Both instances were 5 and 6 years ago, respectively. I can't imagine that it was not ever fully resolved after those instances, but it is hard to say. The owners say they have pest control come out regularly.

  I just want travelers to know about the bed bugs as it is a big deal for us and, I would imagine, most. The owners themselves seem to be kind people and they did the right thing by refunding us. It just wouldn't be right to completely disregard the bed bug situation.

  This tucked away location was PERFECT for our mountain getaway. And listening to the creek out front was so peaceful. We can’t wait to stay here again next year!

  It was exactly what we needed. We had a very peaceful retreat. I personally loved the cabin's layout and the old charm it carried. We did nothing but watch movies, read and worked a puzzle. Our pups enjoyed sitting on the porch, we loved listening to the creek. The gravel road is a road to respect. I would hesitate to drive it at night, especially for the first time. I would definitely stay again when in this area. I booked through Evolve for the first time and was surprisingly pleased since I have never heard of this company before. I was given a contact person for issues and the owners reached out as well. Thank you all for a relaxing trip :)

  We loved our stay! Great location to many towns! Cabin overlooks the beautiful creek, which was enjoyed by the family. The kitchen has the basic necessities to cook a meal. The cabin makes you feel at home. There is plenty of games, etc to keep the kids busy. Parking at the cabin is tight if you have more than one large vehicle. We plan on visiting again in the future!

  From the owner: "You’re right about Sylva. It really has become home for us, and we think it’s one of the best towns anywhere. The creek was a big reason we bought the place, and we love it when guests enjoy it too. Parking can be a little tight, but like you said, at least it’s flat. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, and we’d be glad to have you back anytime to enjoy both the creek and Sylva again."
