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.

We loved the Steps Away Cottage in Waynesville and are trying to plan a trip back this fall. The cottage is only a few blocks from the downtown of Waynesville, it was nice to be able to walk up to town for meals and shopping. The house was very clean, beautifully decorated. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There is so much to do in the Waynesville area, it was a great weekend!

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.
