About this property

Spellbound Cottage just off of Main Street Waynesville

Magical in every way, this delightful 2 bedroom one bath cottage will have you Spellbound. The stone house has been lovingly restored and updated, surrounded by exceptional landscaping and towering trees. When it is pouring the rain, as we say here in the Appalachian mountains, you can stand under the amazing Hemlock in the front yard and not even get wet. Bring your camera phone with all of it's pixels because you will not be disappointed.

Forget about fighting for parking and walk to dinner or the breweries downtown and then come home to watch the fireflies from your own fairylit glass house in the back yard. You are right across the street from the Hart Theatre, the local performing arts venue for Waynesville as well as the Shelton House Museum which features North Carolina crafts and agricultural displays. The local Farmer's Market takes place on Saturday mornings Spring through Fall, and it is visible from the front yard. Again, no need to drive.

There is an updated kitchen and a double reclining sofa to remind you that you are not in a storybook cottage filled with beds that are just right, and there is a desk in a separate room for work if you must. The backyard has a wonderful glass house with a comfy red couch for reading or having a glass of wine.

Lake Junaluska and the trail that surrounds it are 10 minutes away, and when we are lucky enough to stay there we park at the Rose Walk and count the swans on the lake as the moon comes up over the mountain ridges.

Close enough to Asheville (less than 30 miles) and right next to Lake Junaluska... between Pisgah National Forest and at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains....a short ride to rafting on the NOC or skiing at Cataloochee...there is gambling at the Cherokee casino.... a short and breathtaking drive to Brevard to look for white squirrels......but you will probably not get to much of that....because Spellbound will hold you captive with the company of each other.

Spellbound, in the shadow of Cold Mountain, is as magical as you make it.

We host three additional properties. One is also walking distance to downtown Waynesville, Vrbo 2600941. Our other two properties are side by side in Weaverville just of of Main Street, Vrbo 2627152 and Vrbo 2684552.

Charming and magical
Cottage is very comfortable and charming. Yard and trees are magical. Electric car charger is excellent. Interior is magical with old furniture. Wonderful TV. Kitchen very well stocked and wine present was very nice. Front steps are steep and could use a rail. Backyard greenhouse needs cleaned.

Very cute cottage
We really liked our stay. Great location, quiet, great yard, loved sitting on the front porch ln the evening. We stayed two weeks. I would recommend it except for the bathroom. Too small. The door could only open half way before bumping into the toilet, and the bathtub/shower space was made even smaller by a soap rack at shoulder level that stuck out from the wall. Except for that everything was good.

Charming place
Charming old Cherokee home, built in 1920s, and now modernized, but with plenty of the charm of the past still intact. Loved every inch of it, from the REAL Cracker Barrel Rockers on the front porch to the many ‘20s antiques. Best of all was meeting the owners and exchanging ideas over lunches together. Both are delightful people and sharp business owners. I’d be happy to return next summer! 🙂

Enchanted Cottage
What a comfortable and delightful home within a short walk into town. We enjoyed the clean mountain air with no humidity for us Florida folks. The people are so friendly and the festival in town with music so fun! Farmer's market on Saturday just steps from here. We will definitely be back to stay longer.

Super golf outing
This is an elegantly decorated and landscaped cottage conveniently located to downtown and the Waynesville Inn and Golf Resort where we participated in a two-day tournament. Stayed off campus because we brought our English Setter. Also, stayed over to visit relatives in Hendersonville. This rental fit our needs perfectly and we have only nice things to say about our stay.

Really is Spellbound
The cottage is everything it is advertised to be. It is clean, well-appointed, and in a great location. It's an easy walk to the charming town. John is very responsive to any questions and left great instructions and recommendations. The delicious bottle of wine was an added perk. Thank you!

Cozy and comfortable
Aside from the rough basement laundry, and stained shower curtain, this was clean and comfortable. Great water pressure, comfortable beds, and welcome bottle of wine...I don't drink so I'd rather have filtered water, but my sister enjoyed a glass. Nice mystical vibe!

Waynesville getaway
The cottage and property were adorable, well stocked and comfortable. The location made for an easy walk to downtown areas-and an easy drive to the blue ridge parkway or Lake Junealuska. The cottage owners were in touch with information and confirmed checkin/checkout processes. Perfect level of communication. We enjoy visiting the area once or twice a year and would enjoy staying at this property again!

Quaint, rustic mountain getaway
We absolutely LOVED the house. Perfect size for 2-4, quiet and secluded yet near Main Street. Didn't make use of the tea house out back but I think we will next time. The only challenge was the small bathroom and the shower with a stability bar at shoulder length - made for tight showering quarters. We will definitely try to stay there again when we visit our family in Waynesville.

Sweet Cottage out of a Storybook
We loved our stay at the Spellbound Cottage! It is darling and vintage with all the modern necessities. The bed/lines are super comfy. The location is perfect...steps from Mainstreet, saturday market, restaurants, easy access to the parkway. Willow and John were so lovely to work with. We stay frequently in WV & MV, this place is at the top of the list!

Charming little getaway cottage
This cottage far exceeded my expectations. It was beautiful, well-stocked, and spotlessly clean. The fairy lights in the garden house just added to the magic of the place. I loved the private location that was still walking distance to town. Gus and I enjoyed the farmers market down the street and the Arts and Crafts festival on Main Street - all without worrying about road congestion or parking. We enjoyed exploring town, Lake Junaluska, and the Blue Ridge Parkway during our long weekend in Waynesville. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

A perfect place to land at the end of the day!
This was such a comfortable place for our small family to stay for our mountain adventure. Well situated for our daily adventures. So many beautiful touches and served our needs perfectly. We felt so at home for our 4-night stay and were sad to leave! We look forward to a return stay in what our daughter affectionately refers to as “the stone house”. Thank you for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Willow Hollifield

Host profile image
Willow and John try to be the "just right" host, always available but not intrusive. They want you to come back again and again thinking of Spellbound as your home away from home.

Please look at their other property close to downtown Waynesville
Vrbo 2600941 or the two in Weaverville that sit side by side in downtown Weaverville, Vrbo 2627152 and Vrbo 2684552.

Why they chose this property

Spellbound is in the perfect location close to town, but what is so special is that you feel like you have stepped back in time when you are there. It is apparent that the house has been lovingly cared for over the years and appreciated for it's journey into today's world. The house was built by the Cherokee in the 1930s with stones from the neighboring mountains. The woodwork is original and is clear chesnut, just beautiful.

The glass house in the backyard calls to you every night to sit for just a little while with a book or a friend and a glass of wine.

It is the kind of place that doesn't make you want to take a video. It is the kind of place that makes you want to hold hands and think about when you can come back again.

What makes this property unique

The location is perfect, and the cottage is storybook. The glass garden cottage in the backyard is magical. The yard is not fenced but pets are welcome.
