Great house. Beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed, even robes for the hot tub. We loved it and will be booking every time we come back to Maggie Valley. The reviews said that the restaurant next door played loud music all weekend but they no longer do that.

Perfect Location

We just loved this house! It is homey and made our recent visit to the area just perfect. You are close to downtown Waynesville and all it has to offer but also near to the roads that take you to Pisgah or the Blue Ridge PKWY. Check in was a breeze. We hope to return again soon!

Lovely home!

Pictures don’t do it justice! The home was clean and comfortable, we had everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub worked great, and was nice and private. The location was quiet but conveniently located just off Main Street. Our host was easy to talk to and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything. Would absolutely stay here again, thank you!

A great experience!

First - communications with the owner were excellent - timely and helpful. Second - the home was very clean, a great job done. Third - the home is in a great location and a quiet area. The restaurant next door was never an issue unless you don’t like the smell of bacon cooking in the morning. There is some much good to say good about this VRBO. Even though this is an older home is has been beautifully maintained. It is so comfortable. It is a perfect place to stay when in the Waynesville/Magee Valley area.

dangerous weather trip

The house and property were excellent. We had trouble with the tv ,being electronic ignorant . Trip was cut short by hurricaine helene Made it home safe only to endure a landfall and power outage. Could have been a crisis if we had stayed in western N C. I would greatly recommend this beautiful home.

Fun Fall Trip to the Mountains

The house is in a good location in Waynesville. Easy to navigate to and from and close to everything you'd need. The house was very cute, beds were comfortable and the hot tub was great. Overall, it was a really enjoyable stay and we would definitely love to stay here again in the future. I saw on the house description that you can hear music from the band at a nearby restaurant (over at 10PM); one thing to note, the restaurant is right next door and the back of the stage shares a property line with this house. I was a little worried about that because I am usually early to bed, but we had zero issues because no bands played during our visit.

Incredible experience! Beyond our expectations. Easy check-in with combination lock, huge house, well equipped. Comfortable beds, great water pressure, hot tub, grill, private yard, parking, tons of tv channels, private office. My only regret is placing a Walmart Delivery in advance, only to find we didnt need anything but food! Toiletries, paper products, spices, oils, soaps,..laundry supplies, bags...a gazillion pots, pans,tuppers, utencils, etc..I mean everything was already there! Very attentive host, we would definitely recommend this house to a family of 2 or 3, or 2 couples.. ( master had king bed 2nd room had queen bed) 2 bathrooms. Not sure if sofas were sleepers, it was just 2 of us. Thanks Sharon for a wonderful trip.

Clean, Comfortable, and Thoughtfully Prepared

We had a truly wonderful experience staying at the EPSPM house in Waynesville, NC. From the moment we arrived, we could feel the love, care, and thoughtfulness that has gone into making this house a welcoming and comfortable home. Every detail—from the cozy beds to the well-stocked amenities—was clearly prepared with great intention and generosity.The house was spotless, well-maintained, and offered everything we needed for a peaceful and relaxing stay. We felt incredibly safe and at ease throughout our time there, and we are especially grateful for the small touches and kind gestures that made us feel not just like renters, but like welcomed guests.Thank you for your prompt support in sorting out our last payment—it was much appreciated. We’re happy to place a very positive review and wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for a serene and well-cared-for retreat in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.

I am sorry you were unhappy with your stay. I had the dishwasher checked and it works fine. I’m sorry you had an issue with it. As far as the closets their are a couple owners closets that are not available to guests but still plenty for guests to use in addition to dressers and hooks in each room. The beds are both only 4 months old. I wish you had called me while you were staying and I would have had cleaning come right over if something was dusty!! I have only had very good reviews. I am sorry you did not enjoy your trip. Sincerely, Sharon

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Nikolas

Host profile image
The above picture was taken by my husband when we were hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our son had come to visit from Chicago!
Nik and Sharon the owners are realtors and live in Florida. We make it to the mountains about once a month for a week. We just love the area and want to spend even more time. There is so much to do and see in the Waynesville area.

Why they chose this property

This property has all the convivences and yet privacy. Close to town and we just fell in love with the history of this almost 100 year old home!
Parking is great and many restaurants within a 15 minute drive. There is even a restaurant to walk to on the corner for lunch or dinner or an drink.
Relax on the porch or sit by the firepit. We hope you will enjoy this house as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

Location - close to everything
Parking paved and level
Yard - room to play games in the outside area or relax in the brick walled enclosed back yard.
