Summary:
This elevated, luxurious cottage is quite literally a few short steps from all that downtown Waynesville has to offer! Featuring a hot tub, fire pit, gas grill, comfy porch and pet friendly policy, this place is perfect for friends and families traveling together. From the gorgeous chef's kitchen to the well stocked game supply, this gathering place has been thoughtfully curated to be a fun and cozy vacation destination.

Terrific place to stay and just around the corner from restaurants and shopping. An easy walk. The description of the home is accurate and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Two parking places on the property is also a plus. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Great house

We loved the area and the house was almost new. furnishings very nice and clean. Appliances are very modern and worked perfectly. Well stocked except we had only 4 bath towels for the two of us for the six day stay. However the owner provided detergent and dryer sheets and a very nice laundry room so it was no big deal to wash often. Great place we will return soon.

Book this cottage!

My husband and I stayed at Steps away cottage with our friends who are also married. The online listing for the cottage is exactly what you get and more! This place exceeded our expectations. The decor is so adorable and feels like home. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need for a vacation. The hot tub was so fun! We used it every night. We walked everywhere in Waynesville for meals and shoppes. We will definitely be rebooking if we ever get back to the area. Do not miss out on this listing! Amazing!

Gem

"Steps Away" is a gem of a place to stay. Be sure to bring your own bath soap, but you'll find anything else you need. Hot Tub was not available for us...may need to check to see if it's seasonal use only. Walking distance to downtown. The wedding venue was Laurel Ridge CC, and only 10 minutes away.

Wonderful property!

This house is a very short walk to downtown Waynesville. It’s beautifully decorated and has everything you need! We especially loved that each bedroom had a television, the washer and dryer, the cute yard with the fire pit/hot tub, and the ease of check in. It was our first trip to Waynesville and we highly recommend visiting this town with its many good restaurants and cute shops and this property was perfect!
