Lovely Home

We went and stayed to see family, it was a lovely home with so many accommodations and extra’s. Convenient location and such a great host, he told us the house was ready and we could check in anytime that day. We have agreed we will be staying every visit we make there from now on, very pleased.

Weekend Getaway

Great location, very clean, and great communication with owner. Very convenient to area stores and restaurants. My only recommendation would be the addition of a king size bed in one of the bedrooms.

Great location, responsive owner

The location and layout of the house were perfect for our visit to Waynesville. Easy to get into town. A few minor issues on arrival but a quick response from our host got everything in order. For coffee drinkers be prepared to bring your own.

Nice location

Overall the house was clean, and well organized, the instructions were straightforward and clear. The only downside was there were no horses, which was a big draw for us, but as far as everything else, it was beautiful.

Perfect cozy house

We loved this house. It was perfect for travelers who want to get to Waynesville, Asheville and the Smoky Mountains. Rooms are large and kitchen well equipped. The steps are a little steep but once you get in everything is just lovely. The owners were very reponsive and friendly. I highly recommend.

Pleasant stay with a caveat.

The house itself is very nice and clean, and overall my sisters and I enjoyed our stay. The caveat is, we are all in our 60s with various and sundry physical limitations. It's quite a haul walking up the sidewalk and the steps to the front porch with luggage if you have physical limitations. That being said, the inside staircase really wasn't a problem. The front porch and deck are very nice, but the views aren't quite as bucolic as the pictures would suggest. The owner is very nice and super responsive and the location is very convenient to everything in Waynesville.

We arrived after dark and it started to snow later at night so we were glad for the front porch light and a heated house. We are from Florida and have vacationed in this area for many years and this is the first time it has ever snowed. We loved the scenery but hated the drive. The entire house was immaculate! Beautifully decorated. Our every need was met. We highly recommend this wonderful house. Only two complaints which the owner may not be aware: the upstairs bed was unstable with only one board to hold up the mattress also the window blind fell while being opened. We were not made aware of this from the couple who stayed in that room until we left or I would have left a note at the house instead of reporting it here. Other than that....we had a lovely stay and will return if able in the future. God bless the owners.
The day after the snow began. We Floridians loved it!!
