Another wonderful stay for us at this conveniently located gem. It feels like a second home -warm, inviting, spacious, and very relaxing all while listening to the constantly moving creek.

This is was our second time to stay here and we hope to stay every time we come to Waynesville. It is very comfortable for a historic home.

Beautifully renovated space with tons of room to spread out and comfy beds and seating. Note that the "kitchen" is comprised of a toaster oven, countertop two-burner stove, and microwave. It's adequate, but you certainly can't cook a turkey or a frozen pizza. Communication was fine but unnecessarily complicated. I booked through VRBO so I'd prefer to communicate through VRBO. Not sure why everything had to switch to Vacasa. The location is extremely convenient, but it's also this property's downfall. The creek is lovely to look at and listen to, but it's hard to hear between all of the loud trucks and motorcycles that pass directly in front of the house. Dump trucks crossing the bridge literally shake the house. There's a white noise machine to help drown out the noise for sleeping, but it was so loud during the day that we found it hard to truly relax. The porch off of the master bedroom was the only partial respite. If you are unbothered by loud traffic noise and trains and want walkability, stay here. If, like us, you find steady traffic noise bothersome, I'd suggest elsewhere.
