This roomy home provided character and comfort while in a great location. We were able to walk to town, plus, take an easy drive to hiking, the ski resort, and Asheville. Thanks for the small touches of snacks, coffee, and more!
Beautiful home in historic area, walking distance to Waynesville business district. We had 6 adults and were very comfortable. The short walk to town was a great way to exercise Hank. Also nice location near US 23 between WCU and Asheville. Close to Lake Junalaska and Maggie Valley. Thanks for sharing this home with us.
We had such a wonderful time in Waynesville, and the house is charming and well-located to downtown. The communication was great from start to finish, and we would highly recommend staying here. Thanks so much!
What an incredible vacation...this home lived up to everything promised, and more than exceeded expectations. It was exceptionally clean, well-appointed, and the location was perfect...close to Downtown Waynesville, but still felt nestled in the mountains while sitting on the porch. The surrounding neighborhood was historic, and the home itself was full of character and charm, with a full history of the house included in the foyer. Wonderful stay...we’ll definitely be coming back!
Historic Home within Walking Distance to Downtown Waynesville Main Stree
Enjoyed our stay! Home was clean and spacious for 7 adults and a dog. Home has washer/dryer, pots/pans, dishes, linens, towels, coffee maker, hair dryer, plenty of room for parking, not steep location, spacious rooms, outdoor patio and a/c. Only Wish it had a second shower but we were able to get ready for wedding in plenty of time. We will stay there again. Our Family lives nearby in Clyde and we were attending a wedding at Inn at Tranquility Farm which was only a 10 minute drive. Could take easy 5-7 minute walk to Main Street shops and food; four minute walk to Panacea coffee house and Frog Brewery. The downtown General store is quaint with a candy store on lower level. Town is pretty pet friendly. Centrally located - Take a 5-10 minute drive and you can be at Grocery stores, restaurants, Lake Junaluska, Maggie Valley, etc. Visit Ingles grocery - it’s the nicest grocery I’ve ever seen and I don’t like grocery shopping. Buttered Bisquit - well biggest biscuits no joke, lines are long but they get you in and out pretty quickly. Jack the Dipper - home made flavored waffle cones! Scenic walk around Lake Junaluska is a must! About an hour and half from Dollywood. Really nice area, so much more, it’s a must visit for sure.
Once again the Oak Chalet was exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay and the lodging was a big part of that. Would recommend to anyone. The owner was extremely responsive to our needs, gave attention to all details, and went above and beyond our expectations.

Quaint Home in the valley
We absolutely loved our stay in Downtown Waynesville! It was the perfect location for enjoying the Smokeys. We hosted Thanksgiving at this home, and the house accommodated all of our needs.

Awesome early 20th-century house
This house is beautiful! We love this style of house, and it's clear this one has been well cared for. It's clear the house has been lightly renovated, but everything that's been done is tasteful and in keeping with the original style. The full bath has nice period touches, and the full and half baths are both a good size, though we thought the half bath could use a curtain or something covering the window in there. The window faces the rear driveway but could still stand to feel a little more private.
The kitchen is well equipped and organized—we all thought the pot organizing racks they have in one cabinet were super cool. Unfortunately we didn't get the chance to try the wood-burning stove. The house was plenty warm without it during our stay in early November.
In terms of what's in the area, this house is less than a five-minute drive and ten-minute walk away from downtown Waynesville, where we went to a couple restaurants and breweries. If you're in the mood for coffee, there's also Panacea Coffee House, though the hosts provided coffee in the house. (...on top of assorted snacks, which was a nice touch!)
We'll definitely look to see if this house is free the next time we stay in the area!

Great place to stay and experience Waynesville
The Oak Chalet provides a perfect setting to experience Waynesville and surrounding area. Walking distance to downtown with great shops and restaurants. The Chalet had everything and more that we needed. Very cozy, lots of rooms (fireplaces if needed) that were all restored and decorated beautifully. A lot of care has been taken to make sure guests are comfortable and feel at home. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are very comfortable. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely return when we are in the area. Thank you for all the special touches! Amy & Dan

Great house for the price
We enjoyed our stay at this location. It is full of history, but has all the comforts of a modern house. It was a nice touch to have snacks, a bottle of wine, and chocolates on our towels. It is close to downtown Waynesville with restaurants, bars and stores.we would definitely stay at this place again.

Very easy and comfortable to stay here
I would described this home in two words: easy and comfortable. This home was very easy to get to and made venturing into Waynesville very easy. Any store you might need is within a couple miles and walking into Waynesville only take minutes. This 1906 Tutor has been nicely updated. There are several nice, comfortable, open areas to gather with family and friends. Our favorite was the shaded patio. If you need a place that is a great spring board for Western Carolina, this is the home for you. It will be our first choice the next time visit Waynesville, NC.

Wonderful location
We spent 5 nights at this lovely house in June 2018.
The location is perfect. An easy walk to Main St, Waynesville, also very convenient to the main highways to hiking in the Smokies or Pisgah and Asheville. The house has pretty much every thing you could want. The kitchen is well equipped, plenty of towels and blankets.
We found it to be spotlessly clean
The back porch was a surprisingly private place to relax with a glass of wine.
We enjoyed our stay very much.
The only thing I would note is that the mattresses are very soft, a little too soft for me but it wasn’t the end of the world and I’d stay here again.
Just something to note if this is important to you.
