The Willows

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Say hello to rolling hills, natural beauty, and sweet serenity here at The Willows, a spacious home perfect for family and friends to enjoy. Located conveniently close to downtown Waynesville yet set back from busy roads, you will have a lovely mix of seclusion while still being close to everything that makes this area special. Not to mention, this home is between Bryson City and Asheville, so venturing out a bit will be a breeze.

There are plenty of ways to use each dreamy vacation day, yet simply staying near home base can surprisingly be the best option. Host family dinners inside using the fully remodeled kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances and great views or sit out on the furnished deck to listen to the birds with a good book in hand. When the sun starts to dip behind the treetops, throw a few logs on the firepit and tell stories until the sky is filled with dazzling constellations. If you are looking for a bit of fun indoors, the foosball/slide hockey/billiards table downstairs can assist with friendly competition and two living areas await to be the perfect locations for movie nights.

You are long overdue for a tranquil getaway, so treat yourself today!

This was our first time to North Carolina. We are from the southwest so it is very different here. It is lush and green and beautiful. You have neighbors but you can’t really see them even though there are no fences. The house was great lots of room and privacy and it was clean. Paper products and towels and coffee were scarce but the house is lovely. The drive way is steep and narrow. We enjoyed it very much!
