The idyllic property is perfectly located close to everything in Waynesville. Walking distance to wonderful restaurants and shops and the house is full of historic charm. The property is well maintained and accommodations were excellent especially for the price. The property owner was extremely accommodating and easy to deal with. He was attentive to our requests and quick in correspondence. You can't go wrong staying here.
My wife and I stayed in the Mary Lou room this past weekend. The room and the home was very nicely decorated for the time period. I would highly recommend you stay here. The owner was very helpful and accommodating to assure we had a pleasant stay. Thank you.
My wife and I spent a relaxing weekend at the Herren House in Waynesville, NC. The 1897 home was very well maintained and the “Jessica Room” was very cozy. There was a nice commons area and long porch to sit and breath the mountain air.
Very well kept place and centrally located. Have been staying here for a few years now every time we visit Waynesville.
Great experience! Authentic, cozy, full self check-in. Refreshments, beautiful room, helpful staff, although we never saw them. The only downside is this BnB is missing the last "B" -- no breakfast.
This is a great location right in downtown Waynesville. You could walk straight to all the shops and restaurants downtown. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. It is a really nice house and kept very clean.
Super cute B n B but beware this does NOT have any television. I must have overlooked this when I booking. My husband was not happy.
I had a good stay at this place. Nice and calm. Easy to check in and out. Room was fresh and nice. The price was a bit om the higher side but otherwise everything was good.
Located a block from Route 23 and 10.1 miles from Ghost Town in the Sky amusement park, this B&B in a circa-1897 boarding house is 6.6 miles from golfing at the Maggie Valley Club and Resort.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
