Our stay at the Waverly Inn was lovely. Breakfast was delicious and there were several choices on the menu. The employees at the inn were so welcoming and helpful that we felt right at home. It could not have been a better experience.

Response from Mike and Tracey- Innkeepers on Sep 3, 2023
We apologize for the inconvenience of added traffic noise as a detour diverted traffic past the inn overnight during your stay. We are a downtown location and certainly experience traffic but not to the extent you experienced during your stay.

So nice to have owner innkeepers at the property. Just like it was back in the day. The location is perfect for exploring Hendersonville and surrounding area. Breakfast is amazing and happy hour is a nice transition before walking down the street to the restaurants. Definitely recommend.

Great B&B
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Waverly. The location is perfect and the staff are all super friendly. This was our first time staying at a B&B and we are SOLD courtesy of this experience! We will be back! A few tips for someone like me: *Make sure you explore the house! They have so many pictures and books to peruse through. It was all very interesting. *enjoy the rockers on the front porch. They are nice especially when it rains, and are great for meeting new people and having wonderful conversations during the social hour. *if your knees are an issue, they have stairs of course, but they also have raised bathrooms in the upstairs rooms that I saw. The step up for these is a bit steep.So just be aware or try to get a entry level room. *get the yogurt parfait at breakfast! It was delicious! The granola was especially good.

Best B&B Experience!
We couldn't have scripted a more pleasant stay! From the lovely breakfast to the evening social time, we enjoyed every bit. Tracy, who could not have been more friendly, and the other fun-loving guests that week really made it special. We especially like the location, which is easy walking distance to the downtown restaurant scene. We would definitely recommend the Waverly Inn to friends and family, and we plan to be back!

Very nice B & B. It does show the wear in places of being built in 1898. Staff was extremely friendly and courteous. The breakfast was delicicious. Only problem is 1898 Waverly Inn is located next to main road and the window and wall insulation did little to dampen the road noise which became an issue when sleeping.

While we checked in at almost 9 pm (we did call ahead) the clerk said we had missed social hour but that “if we REALLY wanted our complimentary drinks he would get us some” he was obviously encouraging us to say no. We felt awkward & said it was fine. Bed was really uncomfortable and the light from the hallway made the room lit and not dark enough for sleeping. The grits were mushy, wet & overcoooked. One slice of bread = toast. For the cost of a luxury place it was more like a 2 1/2 star hotel. They aren’t interested in caring for their patrons, just taking their money without providing advertised goods/services.

The Inn was beautiful- very festive during the holiday and the social hour was just what we needed after a long drive. The only think we would have wished for was having the town stores open a little later - nothing was open after 6, but that doesn't have anything to do with the Inn.

The staff were wonderful, really enjoy what they do you can tell. Breakfast was made to order and hot. There's a happy hour with adult beverages and cheese plate. The house was decorated for Christmas beautifully. They're in the process of updating bathrooms. The room was very warm for winter. Our door swelled and was hard to open humidity.

Location was perfect for wandering around downtown. Plenty of shops, restaurants, and museums nearby. I realize it is prime leaf season and prices are up, but price per value was not there. Have stayed in many B&Bs and found this to be an average stay with a very above average price.

We are sorry we didn't meet your expectations. The third weekend of October is the most expensive of the year. You'll save 50% off of these rates mid-week October or off-season.
