Pleasant stay with a caveat.

The house itself is very nice and clean, and overall my sisters and I enjoyed our stay. The caveat is, we are all in our 60s with various and sundry physical limitations. It's quite a haul walking up the sidewalk and the steps to the front porch with luggage if you have physical limitations. That being said, the inside staircase really wasn't a problem. The front porch and deck are very nice, but the views aren't quite as bucolic as the pictures would suggest. The owner is very nice and super responsive and the location is very convenient to everything in Waynesville.

Great location, very clean, and great communication with owner. Very convenient to area stores and restaurants. My only recommendation would be the addition of a king size bed in one of the bedrooms.

Holiday Mountain Getaway.

Overall this is an extra nice older home perfect for a vacation getaway. Very close to everything Waynesville has to offer. I would stay again if in the area for an extended period. Everything was as described except there was no gas grill. The charcoal Smokey Joe Weber worked fine for what we needed, but you might want to check if you will be grilling a major meal.

Perfect cozy house

We loved this house. It was perfect for travelers who want to get to Waynesville, Asheville and the Smoky Mountains. Rooms are large and kitchen well equipped. The steps are a little steep but once you get in everything is just lovely. The owners were very reponsive and friendly. I highly recommend.

Comfortable and Serene

We absolutely loved the property. The house was spacious yet cozy. Easy directions to the house and you are only 5 minutes from downtown but you felt like you were in the country. Definitely worth the drive from Florida. Will definitely come back. We also had a treat of hitting it at the right time for the leaves changing and saw snow!! We loved the whole experience.

Another wonderful stay at Dood’s Ranch. This home is so co for table and better appointed than most of the vacations homes we have rented. Bill is a very attentive homeowner, and he made us feel very welcome. Will definitely stay here again.
