Luxurious Mountain Retreat for the Discerning Traveler
The beauty and serenity of the western North Carolina Mountains never fails to fill visitors with joy and peace. We purchased our own three acres of heaven and built a luxurious Guest House so we can share the mountain experience with you.
The Guest House sleeps 4 with two queen beds. The house has been designed for maximum relaxation and pampering. Situated on the bold creek that runs through the property, every room opens onto a 46’ covered deck that overlooks the creek. You can open large sliding glass doors to let the relaxing sound of the creek fill the house or wander out onto the deck to enjoy the fresh mountain air and sunshine.
Careful consideration went into every aspect of our Guest House accommodations. There are two comfortable master bedroom suites with inviting private baths. Relax in the central great-room in front of an evening fire. The gourmet kitchen with cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops is a weekend chef’s delight!
We have furnished and outfitted the Guest House to please even the most discerning traveler. You will enjoy comfortable queen beds with smooth linens and full pillows. Large ensuite baths with soft towels and complimentary soaps and shampoos. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make a romantic dinner, hearty breakfast or picnic lunch to take on a hike. The living room has comfortable seating in front of a wood-burning fireplace and large, Smart TV. Out on the deck, there are relaxing rockers where you can put your feet up and enjoy a good book. For summer nights, there is a great fire pit situated in a bend of the creek.
While The Guest House offers a peaceful and private retreat, it is close to everything that makes western North Carolina so appealing as a vacation getaway. Outdoor adventures abound. Take an invigorating hike or rafting trip, a leisurely walk around Lake Junaluska or experience zip-lining through the scenic forest. Enjoy casual or upscale dining and delightful shopping in charming downtown Waynesville, just five minutes away. Drive 30 minutes to Asheville for more dining and shopping opportunities or to visit the always incredible Biltmore Estate.
The house is easily accessible and available year-round. We invite you to relax and re-energize at our North Carolina Guest House. We’re sure you will fall in love with the magic of these glorious mountains!

Very comfortable stay
Everything lived up to the description. Kitchen very well stocked with pans, cutlery and dishes. I appreciated some options for storage since those are often lacking in rental properties. I also appreciated the shampoo etc in the bathrooms. The best part is the deck and creek. I really appreciated that the porch is gated at both ends so I didn’t have to worry about my dog running off. That gave him some freedom and me peace of mind. Everything worked fine but I would recommend adding instructions to the welcome book for the dishwasher as it took me a bit to figure it out.

Wonderful visit to the North Carolina Mountains
The cabin was clean & tidy and cozily furnished.
My girlfriend, doggy & I all enjoyed every moment on the property.
The highlight was definitely having breakfast & dinners on the back porch area with the babbling creek just maybe 20 or so feet away

Enjoyable Stay
The description of the rental was on point. Loved it. No smells and was like new. The mountain stream was nice even though it was too cold outside to enjoy sitting on the porch. Hope to visit again.

Absoulety Wonderous Place
We did a short 2-night visit to see the Biltmore during Christmas. Really wished I booked their place for a few more nights. First and most importantly we would like to thank Ms. Peg for the ability to bring our puppies with us, they are family and mean everything to us. To rent such a wonderful place which is pet friendly was amazing.
Everything from the furnishings to the property was whimsical and amazing. I have rented places in the NC mountains high up with great views; however, this place was amazing, and I preferred much more due to the location and ease of access compared to steep incline, goose bump driveways.
I will be returning to rent this place several times as long as they hopefully have it listed to do so. Almost not wanting to leave such a great review out of jealously someone may have this place other than me! We look extremely forward to returning and exploring more of Waynesville and the Ashville area, to include Cherokee which I heard is not too far from this wonderful place.
Thank you again Ms. Peg we will be seeing you very soon again. This place deserves 10 stars not 5.

Great! Great! Great!
Our 4 night stay was perfect. The house was very clean, very cozy, and very nicely decorated. The stream that runs along behind the house is beautiful. This will be our spot for future visits to the mountains.
