We had a great stay. We were so happy that the back deck had gates on both ends. We sat out there with our dogs for hours. The creek was wonderful to watch and hear with the windows up in the morning We def will go back here! Such a lovely home. The host was very responsive and friendly.

Our time in Waynesville at this lovely VRBO was Amazing. The home is an absolute Diamond. We really enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the creek and birds singing as well as sitting in the living room with opening sliders with screens in the living room. It was very, very Peaceful. Peg our host was wonderful. Our dog Jasper Roads walked along the grass near the creek. The rental is in a fabulous location. Close to everything. We will be back.

My mother and I stayed here last year. We loved the porch and being able to listen to the creek. She had her room and I had mine. It was in a perfect location for us to meet our friends and see local sites. The host, Peg, was easy to communicate with and made our stay pleasant. The bed sheets are very soft and the beds are comfortable. Even though it rained most of the time it didn't ruin our plans. I know that we will continue to stay here for years to come.

Beauful place! Two large bedrooms with master baths. Everything you could possibly need. Laundry room and large modern kitchen. Very clean with beautiful hardwood floors. Outdoor deck, and beautiful landscaping. We visited here for our anniversary in spring while the flowers were in full bloom. We also appreciated the fact that it is dog friendly. We have an older dog that doesn't do well in boarding anymore. We would definitely recommend this place to others
