Interesting Facts about the property:
What we now call the carriage house, this structure was built by Will Shelton around 1918. Originally a 2nd floor apartment for the housekeeper, the ground level had a coal bin storage area and a carriage house that was later turned into a two-car garage. In 2019 we opened the “Shelton Carriage House Gift Shop”. Looking for a gift, souvenir, or treasure….you will find it here. We have over 25 artists/crafters who are displaying their works in the shop. The main home on this property was built in 1875 by Stephen Shelton for his family. He used black walnut trees to make the doorways, mantels, wardrobe closet, bed frame, and stair railing. The property is on the National Register of Historic Places and currently serves as the Museum of NC Handicrafts, with one of the finest folk art craft collections in the Southeast! The collections in the Museum and Barn consists of beautiful antiques, heritage crafts, agricultural exhibits, and other items from crafters and artisans past and present. The Village of Yesteryear crafters were instrumental in providing donations of crafts for the Museum. Charles Ray, oldest nephew of Will and Hattie Shelton, donated selected items from Will and Hattie’s Southwestern Native American collection to the Museum.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Great location and perfect for dogs

Stayed 3 nights for hiking and cutting down Christmas Tree. House was within uphill walk of town, in the middle of large field. Very clean, perfect for a couple or small family. Bathroom is tiny but adequate. Wouldn’t recommend for two couples because only one bath.

Sweet carriage House In Waynesville

My husband and I came for a long weekend to get away from the disaster in our hometown, Asheville. We were mostly interested in finding a clean pet friendly place where we could enjoy running water, be able to cook for ourselves, and have a laundry facility. I knew this was going to be a nice spot because of its rating, but I really had no idea how much we were going to enjoy it. The location is wonderful. So close to town, right next to the theater which we enjoyed seeing a show while we were there, and just nice and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful To look at and lovely to walk in. We will definitely come back

Lovely stay

The location was technically within walking distance to town but the hill was so steep for a good .5 mile we drive downtown. Plenty of parking in town and super cute shops. We drove 45 miles to the Boogerman trail in the Great Smokey Mountains park. This place had everything we wanted. Absolutely old time feel with all the modern capabilities. It is a little pricey and there was a little more traffic with it being attached to a museum small event center but it was quiet and i would stay here again.

Weekend Stay

Property was just as pictured and very clean! Well stocked with kitchen essentials and basics for cooking. Convenient to downtown Waynesville, highways, and Lake Junaluska where we were attending a conference. There was a community market on Saturday morning that we could walk to from the front door! We enjoyed our long weekend stay!
