Great place
Everything was great except describing as 4 bedroom was a little misleading. 4th bedroom upstairs was actually smaller than the master closet. Had to move furniture out of room to open murphy bed.

Great house
This is a nice, old house near downtown Waynesville. The upgrades make it very nice for those of us who like an old house but with modern conveniences. The master suite is huge! We would definitely consider staying there again.

Beautiful Historic Home
The house was so lovely and a great location. All the furnishings were nice quality and comfortable. The management company though was bad. We had a few significant issues that were never addressed during our 7 day stay. The dryer did not work, a huge problem with a family of 6 staying for a week. Also, the door to the downstairs bathroom completely fell off the hinges, a major inconvenience and safety Hazzard. I called, texted the management company several times and got no solution.
