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.

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.

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.

Very nice stay

The location was great!!!. Check-in and check-out process was easy. We had a nice time staying in this house. The view in front of the house is really breath taking. Only one complaint is that, some of the windows screens were not in great shape.

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.

Holiday Mountain Getaway.

Overall this is an extra nice older home perfect for a vacation getaway. Very close to everything Waynesville has to offer. I would stay again if in the area for an extended period. Everything was as described except there was no gas grill. The charcoal Smokey Joe Weber worked fine for what we needed, but you might want to check if you will be grilling a major meal.

Comfortable and Serene

We absolutely loved the property. The house was spacious yet cozy. Easy directions to the house and you are only 5 minutes from downtown but you felt like you were in the country. Definitely worth the drive from Florida. Will definitely come back. We also had a treat of hitting it at the right time for the leaves changing and saw snow!! We loved the whole experience.

Nice rural area close to town

Very nice property, well furnished. Love the porch and deck. I could not find any fire alarms in any room of the 2 story house. This is something I think the owner should address for the safety of future guests. All in all a 5 star property.
