We loved our stay at Reed House! It was easy to check in when we arrived. The house was even better than the pictures! Close to everything in Dillsboro and WCU. We were there to move our son in for his first year of college. We definitely would love to stay again on our return trips to the area!!

Pilgrimage.

The Reed House was quaint with lots of character and well appointed for our needs. However, the housekeeping could have been more detailed: baseboards very dirty; carpet lacked vacuuming in the bedrooms; bathroom floors were dirty.

Quaint and cozy winter getaway

We absolutely loved staying in this quaint and cozy home right in the center of downtown Dillsboro. The yard was fenced and perfect for our 20lb pup to investigate and zoom around in. We were there for a snow storm and thoroughly enjoyed watching the snow fall from in front of the living room fireplace. The owner was very communicative and went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. Will definitely return!!

Charming and convenient

We loved the porch and patio. Rarely stayed inside because the location and yard were perfect. Easy walk to many restaurants and shops. Great for 3 women in our 50s-60s to catch up relax and explore the area. The stairs to the house and stairs in the house were alot after a day of walking, but id do it again anyways!! Great hosts, well equipped home and comfortable.

Lovely, well appointed vacation rental, waling distance to all Dillsboro has to offer.

The Reed House is perfect for those wishing to park and stay to visit Dillsboro. It, however has limitations for those who are physically challenged by age or condition. To walk to the town, you must walk to steps across from the post office and cross Haywood, which is a very busy street. When arriving you must park well overhead of the Reed House and walk down several steep stairs to get to the back yard to unload, and then uphill to get loaded again when leaving.. I'm 77 with good legs but bad back, so it was a challenge as I'm a solo travel, but I made it. The home is precious and well appointed. Another challenge is that both bedrooms are upstairs once you enter the home. But if you are not physically challenged, it's the perfect spot to see and enjoy Dillsboro.

Historic Stat

Perfect location to walk around town. We were limited on indoor living space as there were four humans and three dogs staying but there was plenty of space in the fully fenced yard for us to lounge around. The beds were comfortable and home was will equip for the fur babies. Note to anyone staying here: if there is dew or if the ground is wet at all, walk down the steps to the house slowly and use the hand rail. We had a slip and fall resulting in a sprained ankle.

Charming old house in the heart of Dillsboro.

The house itself is cute as can be. It is a really old house so the stairs are narrow and there is some creaking. It was clean and well stocked with linens and other things. The rooms are small like the olden days but plenty of room for a family. My dogs loved the fenced in yard so did I. They even left me some Valentine’s candy. The only thing I did not care for was the very loud freeway in front of the house. I do not know why the administrators of this town are not enforcing the 20 mph speed limit with speed humps or other. The traffic on this road was the worse thing about the trip. Overall I had a great time and loved the Reed House.

perfect location

we will definitely stay at the REED house again. 1.) the LOCATION was exceptional. No need for a car in Dillsboro and a sweet town to walk around, have a bite, a drink. Very safe. A hop-skip-jump to sylva (2-3 min drive) whick is a great shopping town .2.) very clean 3.) the beds were SUPER comfortable 4.) The REEDS decorated (super kitch) for Christmas inside and out making it so fun an d5.) LOCATION LOCATION. One needs to note that this is an original little farmhouse in the mountains and as such you should expect the quirkiness of a place like this. Tiny staircase and lower ceilings upstairs; slant to the floors. So, if your handicapped in any way this is really not the place for you; many stairs to walk down to get into the house. BUT if you do not have any difficulties...by all means, this is a darling cottage mountain get away! We will definitly be back. We were there for lights and luminaries ; very quaint and old school atmosphere. Loved it!

Cozy Home!

Great stay. Convenient to downtown Dillsboro shopping and restaurants. Also, convenient to Sylva, Bryson City, Cherokee, Maggie Valley, etc. There are steps down to the house they were not bad at all. Reed House was decorated for fall, very cute. Would definitely stay again. Keep in mind this house is 115 years old. It is modern and up to date, however, the stairway upstairs is narrow and steep. My sisters and I enjoyed our stay.
