Steps Away Cottage • Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Downtown

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 bedroom features 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.

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.
