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 dog friendly policy, this place is perfect for friends, families, or couples 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.



The Space:

Each bedroomfeatures a queen size bed, TV, and bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house with the living area in the center, providing plenty of privacy. There is a Pack n' Play and kid's toys on site, along with family board games and Spectrum cable. Water and food bowls are provided if you bring a furry friend!



The front porch is a fantastic sitting spot for al fresco dining, morning coffee or an evening cocktail! The 4 person fire pit and hot tub are protected by privacy fences, so you can relax under the stars. Enjoy a night grilling on the back porch and dining by the twinkle lights. Coffee is also complementarily provided.



Peaceful Setting, Ideally Location:

Steps Away Cottage is located on a quiet, tree-lined street with plenty of privacy for you and your guests. Downtown Waynesville is only a 5 minute walk from the house, giving you easy access to top local activities and eateries. Some of our favorite destinations are: the Wall Street Book Exchange, Smokey Mountain Sandwich Shop, Sassafras Toy Store, The Sweet Onion, Wildflour Blue Bakery, Orchard Coffee, and the Blue Ridge Beer Hub. If you feel like takeout during your stay, UberEats and DoorDash are available. There's also a Chick-Fil-A a few minutes down the road along with lots of grocery store options. We recommend our local Ingles.

    This place was perfect! It felt much larger than the square footage. So much attention was put into decorating and supplying all the things needed for a wonderful stay. First place we've stayed that included laundry soap, enough paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, trash bags, and toiletries for the entire stay! We loved the local products used throughout the property so much that we sought out and purchased some to bring home! We came to Waynesville for our sons wedding in Asheville and were thrilled that the drive to and from was so quick and easy. Our son and his wife both work on Main Street so we throughly enjoyed being able to walk to see them both during work hours! We didn't find time to use the firepit but enjoyed the hot tub many times after visiting downtown for eating and shopping. Waynesville has become one of our favorite destinations and this VRBO is certainly the best we've rented here! We will definitely look into staying here for all future visits. Our sweet little Dachshund loved it too!

    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!

    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.
