Homecoming at WCU 2023
The cutest studio near campus!!
The owners were very accommodating and nice. They greeted us upon arriving and were very good at responding on the app if we had any concerns or questions.
The home was very clean and they even had little supplies/goodies throughout the home.
The walk to campus was also very short and easy.
Definitely will be staying again!!

Football weekend at WCU
We had an amazing visit to Cullowhee! We were in town for a WCU football game and I could not recommend a better place to stay. Russ was easy to communicate with and the property was lovely. We will definitely visit again.

Cutest Apartment, Perfect for Wkend Visit to WCU
Very nice apartment. Super cute and clean! Awesome hospitality from owners. In walking distance to WCU-took me 5-10 minutes to get to campus walking!
My husband and I stayed here for orientation weekend at WCU and we loved it. The rental was beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed the coffee and drinks that were provided and loved the mirror in the bathroom! We hope to stay here again when we visit our daughter in the fall. Thank you Russ for allowing us to use you space, we thoroughly enjoyed it!

Excellent stay with really nice touches
Immaculately clean efficiency apartment. Very nicely appointed with some welcome touches. Very comfortable bed and linens. Coffee maker with accommodation for all coffee needs. Two burner cooktop and refrigerator. Well setup bathroom with everything you need. I very much appreciated the coffee table that lifted up to be a desk while I worked.
I highly recommend the property. Russ and Hilary were excellent hosts and very easy to work with. I would welcome the opportunity to stay again!
