We loved the Steps Away Cottage in Waynesville and are trying to plan a trip back this fall. The cottage is only a few blocks from the downtown of Waynesville, it was nice to be able to walk up to town for meals and shopping. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There is so much to do in the Waynesville area, it was a great weekend!
