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.

Great house
We loved the area and the house was almost new. furnishings very nice and clean. Appliances are very modern and worked perfectly. Well stocked except we had only 4 bath towels for the two of us for the six day stay. However the owner provided detergent and dryer sheets and a very nice laundry room so it was no big deal to wash often. Great place we will return soon.

Book this cottage!
My husband and I stayed at Steps away cottage with our friends who are also married. The online listing for the cottage is exactly what you get and more! This place exceeded our expectations. The decor is so adorable and feels like home. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need for a vacation. The hot tub was so fun! We used it every night. We walked everywhere in Waynesville for meals and shoppes. We will definitely be rebooking if we ever get back to the area. Do not miss out on this listing! Amazing!

Gem
"Steps Away" is a gem of a place to stay. Be sure to bring your own bath soap, but you'll find anything else you need. Hot Tub was not available for us...may need to check to see if it's seasonal use only. Walking distance to downtown. The wedding venue was Laurel Ridge CC, and only 10 minutes away.

Wonderful property!
This house is a very short walk to downtown Waynesville. It’s beautifully decorated and has everything you need! We especially loved that each bedroom had a television, the washer and dryer, the cute yard with the fire pit/hot tub, and the ease of check in. It was our first trip to Waynesville and we highly recommend visiting this town with its many good restaurants and cute shops and this property was perfect!

Beyond perfect rental walkable to downtown Waynesville!
My husband and I have stayed at PLENTY of rentals and this one is one of the best! The home itself is absolutely adorable and beautifully decorated. It's charming and loving. It has a wonderful hot tub and a great fire pit to use. And the bonus is that's it's walking distance from downtown Waynesville for shopping and fun. Just a word, make sure to bring your own soap and shampoo as this rental does not have any to use. Great spot! I would highly recommend!

Great location
Rented this beautiful home with a friend for a long weekend. It is beautifully decorated and the perfect layout of two bedrooms, two baths with living room and kitchen in the middle. The jacuzzi was a bonus after a long day of shopping. The house is one block off of Main Street so park your car in the driveway and walk everywhere. I would definitely stay here again.

Great cabin, great location.
Very clean, beds are comfortable, love the outside seating and front porch. We would have liked a regular coffee pot/maker rather than the pod, simply for the ease pf making multiple cups of coffee at the same time. Beautiful location, and just a block from main street.

Relaxing and enjoyable.
Enjoyed our stay very much. The facility was well thought out and provisioned well. We have a couple of extra comments that we hope will be constructive. When someone stays a month the hot tub should be serviced at the two week part. Also grass should have been cut more often. The lawn man’s mower either had dull blades or he ran it too fast. It did not cut well.

Hope to get back for another stay
This is probably the best VRBO we have utilized. It is new and clean and in a great location for exploring downtown. It is perfect for two couples, but not much room for more than 4 people to gather. We used the front porch every morning to sit and drink coffee and used the barbeque to fix dinner one night. We hope to plan a return visit next year.
