Cottage vacation rentals in Haywood County

We are familiar with the area so we knew exactly where the cabin was, and it was perfect. Close to town and WCU, yet right on the Tuck and peaceful. Outdoor space is excellent! Great river access right on property. Had all the basics, bathroom is tight, but the outdoor space makes it all worth it.

We had a great weekend overall staying at Overlook Nook! The house looked just like the pictures and was well cleaned. The hot tub was nice as well (after it took a little while to heat up). You can’t tell in the photos, but the house is located very close to other houses and is on a crowded street. So, it isn’t a private, secluded rental. But, it was very conveniently located so it was close to many things! The only cleanliness issue was a few stains on the king sized comforter in the primary bedroom. Also, as some other guests mentioned, you have to take your trash with you to avoid paying $50 for trash removal. Although it was an inconvenience, we thankfully didn’t have much trash. Overall, our stay was great and the house was located within an hour to a lot of popular places which was great!

Lovely accommodations and gorgeous location with ample privacy. Looking out to the mountains across from the home reminded me of the Amalfi Coast with all the houses lit up at night. Magical!

Very nice place to stay. We we located close to all things in Maggie Valley. Cozy home with plenty of room. Loved the basement game room.

They were wonderful hosts. The place was very clean. They had anything you could need from seasonings, detergent, soap, so if you forgot something they had you covered. They even were good hosts to our furry friends. The covered porch that’s fenced in had good view and gave us peace of mind that our dogs couldn’t sneak away while we hung out in the hot tub.

Our family loved this house and our stay! We love Maggie Valley and visit at least once a year. This time we wanted something in town instead of on a mountain since our adult children were driving in and meeting us. This place was perfect. All the kiddos (adult and littles) loved the hot tub and fire pit. The dogs loved the back yard and being able to run around without a leash. The house was very clean and had a little bit of everything you would need. We all had a lot of laughs playing all the board games and was perfect for our night in before heading home the next morning. Samantha was very response and helpful when/if we had any questions. We will definitely be back to stay here again.

Cute little cabin! The yard is not fully fenced in if your dog is like mine--she jumped up on the wood/log retaining wall that serves as part of the fence to get out of the yard. The location was great, very close to the Maggie Valley shops and also not a far drive to Lake Junaluska or Waynesville. It is a peaceful place to be, we enjoyed it a lot.

Loved our stay! It was wonderful to just unplug a bit, enjoy the peace and quiet of the woods and play some board games with our kids. It was quick access to the Cataloochee Ski Resort once down to main road which was our main purpose for the trip. The Only thing I wish I had known prior to our arrival was the last of grocery options, had I known I would have made sure to stop and stock up prior to our arrival.

Beautiful comfortable home. We enjoyed our stay and the forest privacy. The owner was always available for any questions we had. The creeks nearby were fun to visit and listen to. Just remember the main highway entrance and exits are all u-turns for safety. If your gps does not show a u-turn it is wrong and keep going to be safe.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy mountain cabin! The home was absolutely beautiful—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. The 5 acres of land and the running creek made for such a peaceful and private getaway. Our Australian Shepherd loved having so much space to roam and especially appreciated the fenced area where she could play safely. It was the perfect spot for both relaxation and adventure. Lindsey was friendly, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly. We’d definitely recommend staying here and hope to return ourselves soon!

The Mayor's Cottage is incredibly cozy and charming, both inside and out. The gardens and tasteful time period decor are even more beautiful in person. The house was clean & comfortable and the thoughtful extras provided by the hosts made us feel right at home. We very much enjoyed the history of the cottage and surrounding houses, and appreciated all of the recommendations for local dining and activities. The location is perfect being both private and quiet but walkable to dining and shopping. Our hosts were very warm, welcoming and thoughtful - Hospitality at its finest.

This place is beyond amazing. The attention to detail, the cleanliness, the peace, is indescribable. The bed was one of the nicest beds I've stayed in. They have gone above and beyond to make sure that everything is part of the beautiful experience. Highly recommended! Make sure your vehicle has all-wheel drive or 4x4 to go up the dirt road, it's actually fun to get up there. You will not be disappointed staying at this place!

Wonderful place and location. We had walked by the house several times during our previous trips and had always wanted to stay there. It met all our expectations, which were high since my wife has loved the place since for years. It perfectly mixes updated services without sacrificing the mountain style in which the cottage was built. Easily walkable to downtown shopping and restaurants but also having a peaceful backyard that is perfect for some quiet time and contemplation. We would love to stay there again.

Beth, is a great host from start to finish she was fantastic. I am sure my wife and I will be visiting Maggie Valley again, we will definitely check to is Beth place available. Thanks again for being a great host.

This mountain house was an absolute gem! One of the first things we appreciated was the paved road leading up to the property—it made access so much easier, especially in the mountains. Once we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible view, which really sets this place apart. The house itself was fantastic, with a private downstairs living area that provided a quiet, cozy retreat. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a bit of separation, whether for extra privacy or additional guests. The water pressure was excellent, which is always a nice surprise in mountain homes. Everything from showers to washing up was seamless and enjoyable. Suzy, the host, was simply amazing. She was incredibly attentive throughout our stay, even going the extra mile by sending a weather update for the day it was expected to snow, which was really thoughtful. It was such a pleasure working with her, and her communication made everything smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better exp!!!!

Perfect location and perfect home for our family. Definitely hope to stay here again!

Great host. Perfect location, close to interstate and restaurants/stores, central to several tourist areas without busy city traffic/noise. Visit Maggie Valley and Cherokee one day and Asheville and Biltmore the next without spending your whole day driving. This is a beautifully decorated home with just the right blend of original and upgraded finishes, fixtures, and floors for a luxury stay wrapped in the warmth of visiting Grandma's house. Will definitely stay here again!

This is our third stay. We love coming here. Love the house and location. Always pristine clean and quick to respond if anything comes up. Near all our favorite things to do.

We felt very comfortable and at home. The cabin and the efficiency over the garage were clean and comfortable, with lots of parking. Loved the visits from the cows each day! Lots of seating on the gorgeous porch was wonderful. Access to the house was lots easier for some of our seniors because of the ramp instead of steps. Super private and quiet with no traffic noises, despite being close to things to do in Waynesville and Maggie Valley, as well as the National Park. We had a few questions and one concern, and each time we reached out, we got a quick response and patient, friendly help. The trip up the hill was a bit of a nail biter. Try to get there during the daylight hours.

Nice location, tasteful property

We had a great stay at The Waynesville Cottage. The views from the sunroom are beautiful. The cottage was clean, open, and comfortable. The location was quiet and peaceful, but close to groceries, Lake Junaluska, and restaurants. Robin was one of the most hospitable hosts we have met on Airbnb. She was friendly, helpful, and available for any questions we had. We will definitely come back!

We had a very relaxing time where we disconnected and reenergized. Secluded, yet close to everything. Walt and Charlie were very friendly. Hosts were very responsive. Definitely recommend and will return.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at this beautifully located airbnb on the Tuckasegee River! Vacasa reached out to us early the morning of check-in giving us the opportunity to check-in early if we wanted to which was nice. Price per night for the size of the place was a little steep, but you have to take into consideration being right on the river and close to so many places in Dillsboro. My favorite part was the wrap around porch with plentiful seating to sit by the river!

Susan has appointed Wren Cottage to feel just like home. Games, books, a fully stocked kitchen (useful as I cooked a Thanksgiving dinner there!) and her original artwork for sale were all really personal touches that we loved. Her guidebook to the cottage and surrounding was really helpful. We loved being near the creek and near the cute little town of Waynesville, with great restaurants and shopping. Really clean and spotless! Love, love, love.
