We decided last minute to take a trip to Waynesville and I’m so glad this property was available. First and foremost, the hosts have set up this property to be perfect for dog owners. The backyard is spacious and securely fenced, and can be accessed from the deck off the main floor, from the downstairs bedroom, or straight from the driveway. There was a designated dog towel for wiping paws and two dog bowls, plus a coverlet to use on the couch if the dogs are accustomed to being on furniture - very thankful for these items because even though I remembered my personal dog towels I totally forgot my dogs’ water bowl. For human guests: everything is updated inside, from flooring to furniture. The master bed was extremely comfortable (so many VRBO hosts overlook the mattresses, but not here!), the kitchen was very nice and seemed to have every appliance one could need. It was bitterly cold during our stay, and the home’s heating kept up beautifully. The ROKU tv and WiFi worked great. The home’s location is up a mountainside and so quiet, but it only takes 5 min to get down the hill to Papas and Beers and another 5 to be in downtown. The hosts are local and very proactive and responsive. My only complaint is that I didn’t pull out the 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle until evening 2 of 3, and as a result I didn’t have enough time to finish it. :-) maybe next time!
