The apartment was cozy, well equipped, and the location in Waynesville was great! It was only about 10-12 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and there are great restaurants in town.

Great for what we needed!

We needed a “home base” for a long weekend while in town to visit family, and this little studio was great. The owner was very easy to reach when we had a question, and very pleasant! It was a lovely, quiet little place.

Great location, every amenity you could think of. Smooth check in and out. Host was kind and helpful.Low ceilings coupled with bright overhead lights were a bit much for my light sensitive eyes and curtains in the kitchen would have been nice.Minor quips, I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful spot in NC near the Parkway

This is a nice spot in the mountains of western NC with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Waynesville is a nice small town too and that’s a plus for me! The grounds around the house are very nicely kept and you have a great Mountain View👍

Perfect getaway

Stayed for 11 days, as a personal planning retreat and as a base to get to know the Waynesville area. The setting was perfect, tranquil but within an easy walk of Main Street shops, restaurants, live theatre. Very well kept apartment, with everything I needed in the kitchen. The host, Billy, was readily available to answer any questions and recommend places to see/things to do. Would definitely come back and bring my wife!

Perfect Location

As expected, this location was extremely clean and had great communication with the host for any questions we had. The location is prime for many reasons but the best reason is due to it's proximity to downtown Waynesville while also having a countryside appeal. You wouldn't know it if you're not from Waynesville, but this location is actually centrally located for many attractions in the area. We highly recommend this studio and will be back to use it again in the future.

It was a very nice experience staying at the cellar. He let us check in early because the room was early. The place was very nice and clean. It was nice waking up and see the mountains. We enjoyed downtown which was only up the street and we were lucky that there was a festival going on in downtown. We really recommend this place to anyone. Thank you so much for the hospitality. We will definitely come back. The Gonzalez.

Every thing was very clean. The electric plug above the sink does not work. A handrail going up and down the stairs would be nice.

Quiet, cozy and close to so much!

The basement oasis was perfect for my wife and I while we spent a week in Western North Carolina. We hiked, explored, and shopped in and around Waynesville and Maggie Valley. The space was as clean and neat as it could possibly be. I sat outside on the outdoor furniture one evening and saw 8 deer come out of the nearby natural area. They got within about 15 feet of me and eventually went on their way. Bill is a very nice guy and was quick to respond to a couple of minor questions I had. We will be going back!

About the host

Hosted by Bill McCracken

Host profile image

I was delighted to purchase this, my grandparents home, 3 years ago and do a top to bottom renovation of the property. I work, most weekdays, out of the office on the main floor of the home, but return to my home in Asheville late afternoons.

Why they chose this property

The home was originally built as a springhouse around 1902, to keep dairy products cold for resale. The addition, featuring the basement apartment, was built in 1940, the stone veneer added, as well, at that time. The house was a tenant house for the McCracken Dairy, formerly located nearby, which serviced local residents, restaurants and boarding houses with milk, cream, butter and eggs. Tragically, the barn burned in 1937, and the family house, also on-site, burned in 1938. My grandparents then moved into this home and lived there the rest of there lives. This apt. was the caretaker's home.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy beautiful morning and afternoon sun and an amazing mountain view from this studio apt, walking distance to downtown Waynesville!
