The Willows

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

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!

Great house (2 levels) and location
This house was very clean and comfortable. It is in a quiet neighborhood, and we loved the deck overlooking the mountains. The listing didn't make it clear that one bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms were downstairs below the main level. This caused an issue with us as we could only use the main level. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this house.

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.

The Willows: A delight for the senses
We spent three beautiful days at The Willows. It was a sensory delight, from the slightly scented air when we arrived to the amazing views. Beds were comfy, linens were soft to the touch. The house was laid out perfectly for our two adult, three kid family. We loved the eat in kitchen, the clean and comfortable soft furnishings, and the relative privacy the landscaping provided us.
