About this property

Fresh renovations & beautiful mountain views! Dog friendly, large fenced yard!

The first thing you'll love is the view through the large picture window in the living room! Enjoy it even more, rain or shine, in comfortable wicker seating on the covered deck!

This three bedroom, two full bath home has been freshly remodeled throughout! Updated kitchen and bathrooms, new paint and all NEW everything! Furniture, pillow-top mattresses, linens, dishes, pots, pans, smart TV - Everything!

This is our second vacation rental and our seven years of experience has taught us what makes our guests comfortable and feeling at home when they stay with us. We fell in love with this mountain home the moment we saw the view! Unlike many view homes, this one is an easy drive up from the town of Waynesville. No steep winding roads.

Master has a king bed, TV and ensuite bathroom with a large shower and new vanity. Second bedroom has a queen bed and a full bath with tub/shower and new vanity is just steps down the hallway. Third bedroom is extra large at 325 square feet! The room features a sleeping area with a queen bed and a comfortable sitting area with its own large screen, smart TV and a refreshment station where you can make coffee and store drinks or snacks in your own mini-fridge. Sliding glass doors open to a private patio that enjoys the same magnificent views found upstairs.

The large living room has a comfortable couch, storage ottoman, two recliners and 55" Roku TV with streaming channels. Open concept design with living area, kitchen and dining all together. Updated, white shaker style kitchen cabinets, granite countertops and new appliances give the kitchen a fresh, fun feeling.

High-speed cable internet lets you steam your favorite shows and stay in touch with the world if you are so inclined.

If you bring your furry friends, you will enjoy the newly fenced, large backyard with a firepit. Relax on the deck while your dogs have freedom to romp and play.

The Osceola House is close to everything that makes western North Carolina so appealing as a vacation getaway. Outdoor adventures abound. Take an invigorating hike or rafting trip, a leisurely walk around Lake Junaluska or experience zip-lining through the scenic forests. Enjoy casual or upscale dining and delightful shopping in charming downtown Waynesville, just ten minutes away. Drive 30 minutes to Asheville for more dining and shopping opportunities or to visit the always incredible Biltmore Estate.

The house is easily accessible and available year-round. We invite you to relax and re-energize at our North Carolina Osceola House. Come and unwind in a mountain home that is close to dining and shopping, but remote enough to enjoy peaceful evenings by a campfire with the night sky full of brilliant stars!

Great Location

Enjoyed every part of our stay. Our group chose this property due to a wedding at a nearby country club. The location was perfect and the house was exactly what we needed. Our four legged pup love the fenced in backyard where he could enjoy the mountain at his leisure. The property owner was quick and knowledgeable about the property or questions we had. If we get the chance to stay again, we definitely will. Overall, a great experience and location.

Perfect home away from home!

My husband & I as well as my brother & sister-in-law stayed at The Osceola house for an extended weekend. The location was perfect for us because we were conveniently close to town and had a beautiful view of the mountains outside the living room picture window . Everything was clean & the smallest of details were thought of making for an effortless experience. Peg, the Host, was extremely accommodating & even left a gift of treats from our favorite dog bakery for our shihtzu We all had a simply wonderful time at Osceola House.

A awesome place

Our stay was great except for the rain but we did inside things . Went to falls in Cherokee and casino. The house has everything you need loved the fenced in yard for our dogs. We never ate out while there because our daughter and son in law was with us from Pa to enjoy family time together so he did all the cooking on the gas grill. He had everything he needed he said the spices was great he didn’t have to get any. The last night we enjoyed with the dogs had a fire outside.a great place to stay. My husband and I will be back with our two dogs Diamond and Lilly even though we don’t need a place that big for our selves just because of the fenced in yard and plenty of extra bonus like blankets for dogs, foil, paper towels, spices, condiments in fridge and so on.

Family vacation

Very nice place beautiful scenery it was very cold when we checked in 15degrees heat inside of home was set to 61 degrees wall heat the fans on all 3 units were not blowing heat out very well even on high setting we set the thermostat at 75 and not sure if it ever got to that temp . It took a good day and a half to get the house a comfortable temp. Other than that it was a small nice house we would not stay there again in the winter.

Snowy get-a-way

We had an incredibly comfortable stay at this Waynesville retreat for our second visit! During our stay, we were fortunate enough to receive 2 inches of snow, and Peg and Bruce went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. They kindly provided a snow scraper, salt, and a shovel, and even stopped by to check if the heaters were working properly, making sure we were warm and cozy.Their neighbors were also incredibly thoughtful, with one even plowing the driveway for us—what a nice surprise!The retreat itself was spotless, and we loved cooking in because of the weather. Peg and Bruce equipped the kitchen with top-quality utensils and silverware, so we had everything we needed to prepare meals. It was truly a home away from home.We’re already looking forward to returning every 1-2 years and can’t thank them enough for their hospitality.Thank you for hosting us!

Up on the mountain

I always look for places that accommodate dogs as I often travel with my 50 pound labradoodle. We had the best time here. Driving up to the house was so much fun. And the views from the living room, deck, & patio were gorgeous. From watching the sun come up, to seeing the total lunar eclipse one night-it was spectacular. When we arrived, I picked up 2 bags of dog waste from the backyard as I didn't want my dog to get into it (human preference-my dog probably could not care less). The neighbor dog (Max) had a big bark, but he didn't bother us late in the night or early in the morning & his humans were nice. We enjoyed the fire pit & making smores. The downstairs area was perfect for my adult son-it was like a private apartment & he loved it. We could even hear the water running on the other side of the road & what a sweet & peaceful sound it was. Waynesville, Lake Junaluska, & the Blue Ridge Parkway were close. The little park just down the mountain was a great place for an after dinner walk. We cooked breakfast every day except one & enjoyed our takeout at the table-with those beautiful mountain views through the front window. Don't hesitate to stay here; great place with great owners who responded almost immediately when I had questions. I want to go back in the fall-because those views can only improve with the colorful leaves. You'll find in the house: books to read, games to play, streaming capable TVs, adequate space to cook, adequate space to spread out if needed.

Peaceful mountain time

I loved this property! It was perfect for my dogs and family. The basement room with back yard access was perfect for letting my older gentleman out during the night. The fire pit produced excellent s’mores when the weather cooperated lol. Great location to towns but far enough out to get quiet peaceful evenings and mornings. Will recommend to everyone and will stay again next time I’m headed to Maggie Valley!
