Waynesville Sunrise! Beautiful, Panoramic Views from 4,200 Ft
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Waynesville
Fran and MJ have vacationed here since the early 80's. They love it! It's quiet, peaceful, cool and beautiful.
The Unique Benefits at this Custom-built Home
THE PANORAMIC VIEW! The view toward Waynesville to the east is just spectacular. In the morning you will be greeted by a beautiful sunrise and in the evening the lights of Waynesville twinkle magically in the distance. Walker-in-the-Hills is a very special community of everything from small cottages to large, beautiful mountain homes. Located on the eastern slopes of Mt. Lyn Lowry, one of highest mountains in the Appalachians, this quiet and peaceful community enjoys a special ambiance loved by all who visit here.

For now, Fran lives in Marietta, GA with her husband Dave and their son Matthew. Mary Jane lives in Titusville, FL with her husband Ron and her mother Ruth.

Thanks very much for the wonderful welcome we received upon arriving at your home. Even though there was no one here when we arrived the house welcomed us with open arms. We felt so at home right away and the furnishings are just wonderful – rustic elegance. We had a wonderful Christmas here in your home – brought our tree and all the trimmings too! It was so beautiful with the fireplace blazing – so cozy, warm and sweet. A wonderful Christmas for our family. May your home continue to be blessed beyond your wildest dreams.

We have felt so comfortable and at home here in your beautiful house that a week has gone by much too quickly! The website does not even do this fantastic view justice – you just have to experience it to believe it, and the stars at night just lit up the sky along with the milky way since it was a new moon during our visit. There is so much to do in this area, we could use about a month to take it all in. One day we got on the Blueridge Parkway which is so conveniently located less than a mile from your house. Thanks for sharing your beautiful and well-stocked home – we certainly want to come back in the spring. It was a delight watching the hummers and feeding your catfish!

Thank you for a wonderful two weeks in your beautiful, immaculate and totally equipped mountain home with a sunrise we looked forward to each day! What a great family gathering spot-we enjoyed our children for a fun 4th of July weekend and watch the mountain fireworks from your deck! What a treat. Your black bear footstools were the hit for our three toddler grandchildren. Also feeding the fish in the pond. We were all in awe of the noise from the bull frogs, but never were able to see one! My granddaughter has 2 of your caterpillars in jars waiting for them to turn into butterflies! Again-thank you! Our stay was so comfortable and relaxing and we look forward to another stay in the future

From our Guest Book: We vacationed her with our little boy. His first vacation at 16 weeks old...and celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. It was a relaxing week in this beautiful home. The sunrise is magnificent over the mountains (what a perfect name for this street). We especially enjoyed shopping in downtown Waynesville - Mast General Store,pulled pork & fried green tomatoes at Old Mountain Barbeque, and our romantic dinner at Old Stone Inn. What fun we had visiting friends and family... Thanks for opening your home to us!

From guest email: Ron, We wanted you to know what a wonderful time we had at your beautiful mountain retreat home!From the moment we arrived (thanks for the wine, cheese and sausage) to our departure on Saturday, we enjoyed every minute. There was something to do for everyone. This vacation brought us all back together as a family. Thank you so much for letting us stay at the nicest vacation place we have ever been to. Good luck on building your new place. If you decide to rent out the chalet, please let us know. Thanks again.

From guest email: Ron, We really enjoyed our vacation in your beautiful home. The house, neighborhood, view, city, everything was just wonderful. I don’t know how you could have moved from there to New Jersey! Thank you for your hospitality and good service.
