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!

Willows in Waynesville

This is a really great home. We loved sitting on the deck with morning coffee or with evening cocktails and enjoying the mountain views. The beds were very comfortable. I definitely recommend this house for a relaxing stay!

Exactly what we wanted!

A group of us were in town for a seminar and were looking for a comfortable, relaxing, and affordable place to sleep. This was a nice house, just the right size and relaxing after a long day out!

This was our first time to North Carolina. We are from the southwest so it is very different here. It is lush and green and beautiful. You have neighbors but you can’t really see them even though there are no fences. The house was great lots of room and privacy and it was clean. Paper products and towels and coffee were scarce but the house is lovely. The drive way is steep and narrow. We enjoyed it very much!

Great location and deck

1. Curtains facing the road were too small...left 3 foot gap. 2. Very small bathroom vanities. 3. Trash wasn't picked up... 4. No local tv stations. 5. Great deck. 6. Excellent location. 7. Very comfortable mattresses and pillows.

Great stay

My wife and I stayed for a week here. We enjoyed the views out the back and sitting on the deck. We also enjoyed playing foosball on the table downstairs. House is laid out nicely and was perfect for us. Everything was very clean. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again in the future.

Cleaning Disaster

When arriving at house we found that absolutely no cleaning had been done. Garbage can overflowing, wet towels on bathroom floors, beds with dirty sheets and not made, counters not cleaned. Made 5 calls to VaCasa where they promised to get a cleaning person out, but no one showed. After 3 days we gave up and now we are asking for a full refund.

Willows

We are very happy to report that we made a virtual appearance at this wonderful VRBO facility, it looked so enticing that we could not turn away our eyes from the advertisement. The service is super and simple. An example: of us seven who wanted to stay there, 3 kids developed a couple weeks before COVID19 and my wife as well as the parents of the poor kids had another virus infect with a bad bronchiolitis. This culminated all 2 days before our annual travel into the blessed North Carolina, so that in accordance with the rules perfectly worked out for the money making owners and VRBO we could neither shift the rental to another time or ask for at least partial refund and therefore had no other options than the virtual one (see above) being stuck with. Well everyone is reimbursing me now with 1/7 of the costs to offset my payment. The Willows indeed would have been an ideal place to be, I was prior to our health disaster dreaming the dream of a 90 year of grandfather to go there and have a good time with my grandkids and trout fishing in the area which I also had to cancel, looking at the clips of last years success. The other good effect is that never I will rent a VRBO or other company-mediated property again, because in our age we never know, ultimately having to pay in vanity. Finally, your cleaning crew (CC) was outstanding, it did save itself from work and rather should have gotten an extra bonus. I am sure, VRBO was hung with paying the CC even though they did not work.

Not the best

Unlike every other Vrbo we’ve stayed in, there was no information provided as to local restaurants and attractions nor instructions for the tv, no coffee, snacks, bottle of wine or “welcome” of any kind. The lock was broke on a sliding glass door which we wedged closed as it took a day to respond. The rugs were very stained. It definitely did not meet the standards of previous vrbo’s.

The view is amazing, the house is easily accessible (if you have disabled or elderly people) and it was also easy to find. I would definitely stay there again!

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.
