This is a beautiful place to stay and very close to so much in the area! The property was immaculately maintained and decorated! We could not have asked for anything more. The hot tub is huge and kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal. We would definitely book again!!

Thank you so much, Melissa! You and your family are welcome back anytime!
Clean and modern with beautifully furnished rooms. The kitchen and rooms were very well equipped and stocked! The driveway is paved but narrow and steep, but there is plenty of parking at the top of the hill. Overall an excellent stay!

Thanks, Victor! Happy to hear you had a nice stay!
Best VRBO we've stayed at in over 20 years! The property was better than described and exceeded all expectations. It was also spotless and had the best amenities including a full array of cooking supplies, spices, etc., including a great Blackstone grill. The hot tub was pristine and easily handles six occupants comfortably. TV's in every bedroom and of course the living room. Minutes from a great golf course and an impressive list of restaurants of all types. All communications with Lynn were professional, friendly and her response time is second-to-none. If we return to the Waynesville area we would rent this property in a heartbeat.

This is the best rental we have ever had. Everything about the house was excellent. Loved the 3 king beds with 3.5 baths. Linens and kitchen were really nice. The deck was a great place to watch the sun set .Was perfect for our first family vacation in over 2 years.

The Willow Top property was amazing- great views, wonderful amenities, including a hot tub, anything you'd ever need in a kitchen situation, everything was well thought out and thought of, too! We had a wonderful, relaxing week in the WNC mountains exploring small town shops and taking in the views!

What a beautiful home! We were all so impressed with the house and the attention to detail. We had everything we needed for a wonderful stay in Waynesville. I've stayed in a lot of homes through VRBO and this was the best house I have stayed in. I only wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the amenities.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Was a pleasure hosting you and your family. You all are welcome back anytime!
Willow Top was an exceptional property. It was immaculate, well thought out, unbelievable attention to detail, and in such a convenient spot. We found ourselves canceling our dinner reservations so that we could cook at home at our convenience in the beautifully equipped kitchen. The bedrooms had good storage, electrical outlets at every nightstand for phone chargers and what not. Extra blankets and pillows available…. Yoga mats, and some hand weights. A game cabinet with lots of games. A book that had easy directions for things like the fire pit, the hot tub, and fireplace. The book also told us where important things were like fire extinguishers, the water main, the electrical main in case of urgency or emergency..Lynn, our host was always immediately available and immediately responsive if we had any questions. This property was perfect for three couples.

We strive to have happy guests and comfortable stays for everyone!! We appreciate your kind words and happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, Heather. You're welcome back anytime!
This place was absolutely amazing, clean, stylish, relaxing and very, very comfortable. We were very impressed by the cleanliness and all the amenities and thoughtfulness that was put into each room throughout the house. It was a perfect place to celebrate our daughter’s Western Carolina University graduation with friends and family. It was only a 30 minute easy drive to the campus. The host was very responsive and we would recommend this location to others. We hope to return back soon and explore more of the surrounding area.

Thank you so much Laurie! We're happy you enjoyed your stay, and you all are welcome back anytime!!
This rental in Western North Carolina has become our new favorite! We visit the area twice a year and have the chance to stay in various rentals. This one takes top spot for us.The location is simply unbeatable. It’s conveniently close to town and offers easy access to our favorite local excursions. Despite being situated in a residential area, the house feels secluded and private, nestled on a nearly private mountainside surrounded by lush forestry.The house itself is stunning! It’s perfect for lounging around all day and is beautifully appointed with everything you’d need for an extended stay. The interior exudes a luxurious and modern vibe, filled with thoughtful details that make it feel inviting.Our host, Chuck, was incredibly responsive and friendly. He promptly resolved a minor WiFi issue we encountered within minutes.We enjoyed our stay so much that we couldn’t bear the thought of leaving. So, we decided to extend our stay by an extra night, making it a total of 8 nights. We highly recommend this rental and will definitely be returning!

About the host
Hosted by Lynn Murray
My husband and I are both born and raised North Carolinians from the Charlotte and Raleigh areas. We love to travel and explore new places, towns and cultures, but NC will always be home. Our state has so very much to offer, but Western North Carolina is our favorite escape.
Why they chose this property
Willow Top is perched high in the woods for a secluded and peaceful experience, yet close to all the wonderful things the town of Waynesville has to offer. It's proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Cherokee and Asheville is ideal for all types of travelers.
What makes this property unique
Willow Top is special. After years of searching, we finally found her. We felt an instant sense of peace and comfort the moment we walked in, though she's unlike anything I imagined we'd buy. Serene, modern and minimalistic. People love Willow Top, and we love to share her magic with our guests.
