We absolutely loved this property. It was one of the best we have stayed in. It was so clean, had everything we needed and it was at an excellent location. I loved walking to town.
We loved staying in this adorable home. It was in a perfect location to downtown, so we could walk. The host was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.
Beautiful place to stay with family & friends. Walking distance to downtown Waynesville to all the restaurants & stores. You won’t regret renting this home.
We loved the location for walking to dinner and breakfast with our 2 kids. The neighborhood was quiet and I loved the decor/layout in the house. Overall, we would definitely book this house again!
The property is so well designed and beautiful. It was spotless and had everything we needed. The location could not have been better--easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Easy stay--we had a great time!
Terrific place to stay and just around the corner from restaurants and shopping. An easy walk. The description of the home is accurate and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Two parking places on the property is also a plus. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
This house is absolutely wonderful. The kitchen is so well stocked, the beds are comfortable, the showers are great, and the whole layout was perfect. The location allows for an easy walk to downtown and a return to a quiet cozy spot. We will definitely book again here!
This is the second time we have stayed here. We absolutely love the house and the town of Waynesville. This house is lovely and walking distance to all the shops downtown. The host is the best, very responsive.
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!
This home was perfect. The location was great and easily walkable to downtown. The home was very clean and well stocked. My wife was very excited to find a frother for her coffee creamer. We plan to return to this property again in the future.
Very clean, beds are comfortable, love the outside seating and front porch. We would have liked a regular coffee pot/maker rather than the pod, simply for the ease pf making multiple cups of coffee at the same time. Beautiful location, and just a block from main street.
We loved this place! Everything was exactly as described. The first night we had a fire and enjoyed the hot tub. Beds were very comfortable. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely choose this home again!
This house is a very short walk to downtown Waynesville. It’s beautifully decorated and has everything you need! We especially loved that each bedroom had a television, the washer and dryer, the cute yard with the fire pit/hot tub, and the ease of check in. It was our first trip to Waynesville and we highly recommend visiting this town with its many good restaurants and cute shops and this property was perfect!
Rented this beautiful home with a friend for a long weekend. It is beautifully decorated and the perfect layout of two bedrooms, two baths with living room and kitchen in the middle. The jacuzzi was a bonus after a long day of shopping. The house is one block off of Main Street so park your car in the driveway and walk everywhere. I would definitely stay here again.
We loved the area and the house was almost new. furnishings very nice and clean. Appliances are very modern and worked perfectly. Well stocked except we had only 4 bath towels for the two of us for the six day stay. However the owner provided detergent and dryer sheets and a very nice laundry room so it was no big deal to wash often. Great place we will return soon.
Beyond perfect rental walkable to downtown Waynesville!
My husband and I have stayed at PLENTY of rentals and this one is one of the best! The home itself is absolutely adorable and beautifully decorated. It's charming and loving. It has a wonderful hot tub and a great fire pit to use. And the bonus is that's it's walking distance from downtown Waynesville for shopping and fun.
Just a word, make sure to bring your own soap and shampoo as this rental does not have any to use.
Great spot! I would highly recommend!
My husband and I stayed at Steps away cottage with our friends who are also married. The online listing for the cottage is exactly what you get and more! This place exceeded our expectations. The decor is so adorable and feels like home. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need for a vacation. The hot tub was so fun! We used it every night. We walked everywhere in Waynesville for meals and shoppes. We will definitely be rebooking if we ever get back to the area. Do not miss out on this listing! Amazing!
