About this property

The Heritage House (Main + Guest)

Smoky Mountain Heritage House Retreat | Historic 1800s Home + Modern Guest Studio
Step back in time without giving up today's comforts at this unique mountain getaway. Nestled in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, this historic 1800s farm-style property blends Old Appalachia charm with all the modern amenities. Featuring a beautifully preserved main home with hand-hewn poplar interior walls and a separate guest studio with a more contemporary touch, this is the perfect escape for couples, families, or friends looking to relax in a peaceful mountain setting.
Just minutes from Sylva and Waynesville, and a short drive to the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, you're perfectly positioned for outdoor adventure, mountain town exploring, or simply unwinding by the fire pit as the sun sets behind the peaks.
*Please note this home does not have central AC, there is a portable unit in the upstairs bedroom*

We really enjoyed our stay in this historic home. The front porch was a favorite spot to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. The location was convenient to both Waynesville and Sylva. The home was clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare a meal.

Ginger, It's great to see you enjoyed our "historic" home as much as we do! The front porch is our favorite spot and we'll be sure to pass along the kind words to the homeowner. We hope to host everyone again in the future.
