Say hello to rolling hills, natural beauty, and sweet serenity here at The Willows, a spacious home perfect for family and friends to enjoy. Located conveniently close to downtown Waynesville yet set back from busy roads, you will have a lovely mix of seclusion while still being close to everything that makes this area special. Not to mention, this home is between Bryson City and Asheville, so venturing out a bit will be a breeze.

There are plenty of ways to use each dreamy vacation day, yet simply staying near home base can surprisingly be the best option. Host family dinners inside using the fully remodeled kitchen boasting stainless steel appliances and great views or sit out on the furnished deck to listen to the birds with a good book in hand. When the sun starts to dip behind the treetops, throw a few logs on the firepit and tell stories until the sky is filled with dazzling constellations. If you are looking for a bit of fun indoors, the foosball/slide hockey/billiards table downstairs can assist with friendly competition and two living areas await to be the perfect locations for movie nights.

You are long overdue for a tranquil getaway, so treat yourself today!

Nice little cottage

Very nice house, convenient location. Too bad the leaves weren't changing because the views from the kitchen window and the floor to ceiling windows in den would provide a spectacular view. Clean, mattresses comfortable, nice stay for early Christmas with my son.

The Willows: A delight for the senses

We spent three beautiful days at The Willows. It was a sensory delight, from the slightly scented air when we arrived to the amazing views. Beds were comfy, linens were soft to the touch. The house was laid out perfectly for our two adult, three kid family. We loved the eat in kitchen, the clean and comfortable soft furnishings, and the relative privacy the landscaping provided us.

Loved Waynesville and this house

Beautiful home with amazing views of the mountains! It was perfect for our group of friends. Loved the space and would definitely stay again. Great location to downtown area with lots of delicious food options and close to the parkway to Asheville. The only negative that I could say is that the steps leading to the lower level are somewhat irregular and should be managed carefully. Great spaces all in all with a full laundry room on the lower level. Modern design with large windows and a very comfortable couch.

Great house (2 levels) and location

This house was very clean and comfortable. It is in a quiet neighborhood, and we loved the deck overlooking the mountains. The listing didn't make it clear that one bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms were downstairs below the main level. This caused an issue with us as we could only use the main level. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this house.
