Enjoy our extensive library with many wildflower, wildlife, and bird identification books. Experience the mountains without having to drive far to enjoy downtown Waynesville. We are less than 5 minutes from Downtown Waynesville and 10 minutes from Maggie Valley, NC. Jump on the Blue Ridge Parkway (we provide free maps with our favorite spots circled), which is 15 minutes from the house. Easefully arrive at the house, paved roads the whole way, no steep gravely driveway. Large driveway allows more than three vehicles for large parties.

Receive our quest treasure hunt list-designed by me (USFWS Botanist) and my husband (Event Coordinator for City of Asheville). Let us give you a Vacation of a lifetime:))

Why we love our home-
The wrap around deck and balcony allow for maximum relaxation. The exposed beams give it a cabin flare. It is perfect for a family because we have four bedrooms with three full bathrooms so everybody has there own space.. Its also a perfect house and location for a romantic getaway. The master bedroom has a high vaulted ceiling and opens up to its own private balcony. The master bath has a jet tub. Also on the 3rd story is a 2nd bedroom with two twin beds. The first story bedroom has a Master bedroom with its own private bath. The fourth bedroom has a day bed with a trundle. Our house is nicely decorated and is lightly lived in. It feels new and cozy like a cottage. Being a botanist, there are many floral paintings and prints. The house is located in close proximity to Great Smoky Mountains National park, Nantahala National Forest, and Pisgah National forest making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.

During your stay at this chalet, you'll be close to Balsam Spa.

Quaint Hilltop Oasis in the Smokies

The Runaway Chalet offers a beautifully situated escape from the rush of daily life. Settling into the hillside, the home offers just the right mix of access to area attractions and quiet surroundings. 4 bedrooms offer enough space for the family and the hosts have left all of the details checked off the list in moving right in. If you’re looking to be close to downtown Waynesville, Lake Junaluska, Cherokee and other area sites this may well be the place for you. Check it out on your next getaway. You won’t regret it.

Pleasant Stay

We did have a pleasant stay at your place in the mountains. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you might need. The beds were pretty comfortable. The only problem I had was the pillows in the daybed room. They looked like they had been used many times and the pillowcases were not to much better. I think it’s time for some new ones. Also when I was getting ready to take a shower I couldn’t find a washcloth so I asked one of the girls from upstairs if she could bring me one. When I got ready to wash my face I looked at it and someone had already used it (not anyone from our group) there was makeup all over it. Needless to say I didn’t use it. Other then those couple of things our stay there was pretty good. Thank you for letting us use your home.

Wonderful mountain chalet!

Wonderful relaxing stay. House is in a nice location on a quiet dead end street and convenient to supermarkets, Walmart restaurants and downtown. Friendly neighbors and a very dog friendly neighborhood. Home is well equipped with most everything you need sans a Keurig! Pretty mountain views, Comfortable bedding and a great relaxing nature vibe. Our family was very comfortable including our 50 lb Springer that loved exploring the property and meeting the doggie neighbors during our daily walks. As with many mountain homes, driveways are steep and angles extreme so leave your corvette at home! :) Our Powerwagon loved the driveway! Thank you April and Basil for letting us stay at your vacation home. We had a wonderful time.

Fall at the cabin

Very close to grocery and wonderful fruit stand. The cabin was roomy and clean. Close to downtown Waynesville and restaurants. Went to wineries from there at 45 min each adventure. Plenty of parking for our 4 vehicles. I had one question and it was answered very quickly by owners on email. We were even able to watch the Gators game at the cabin! Only suggestion would be more comfortable furniture in living room, but certainly not a deal breaker. Kitchen fully equipped and easy to use! Would go again!

The Runaway Chalet was as advertised. We were very cozy and we found it had all of our needs, which was a good thing since it rained the duration of our stay. This was a great location. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of room. April and Basil were excellent host. We would not hesitate to return.

Comfortable, Would Stay Again

The house was comfortable with plenty of room for our family. Basil called while we were en route to let us know that the previous guests had made a huge mess (shame on whomever checked out 9/17/21!) and the housekeeper was doing her best but may not be finished by our 4pm check-in. Then, closer to 4pm, he called again to let me know she had actually finished and everything should be fine but to let him know if we had any issues. Well, she's apparently a miracle worker. This is one of the cleanest places I've stayed, despite the previous guests. Plenty of basic items like towels, sheets, TP, paper towels, hand soap, and dishes. Water pressure was great, and water got hot quickly. Beds were comfortable. Very convenient to The Inn At Tranquility Falls (event venue), and we'd stay again if in the area. Thank you Basil, April, and your excellent housekeeper!

Nice Cabin but needed somethings done to make it more appealing

nice place but needed to have exterminator come and spray a few times a year to get rid of the bug problem. plus bad needed of landscaping and bushes trimmed. Plus it said it had a garage but really could not use it was full of the owners belongings so that was a disappointment not able to use the garage. Plus how the pictures was showing it really did not show you how steep the driveway was plus did not tell you that when you left you had to go up and turn around at the dead end part of the road to get out. But overall it was a nice place just needs some loving care to make it better place to rent and if they cannot clean the garage out for renters they need to state that there is no garage usage there for renters.

Covid

Unfortunately for us we arrived on 8/15 feeling like we were getting sick. We were tested and found out we had Covid. One of us started feeling better on day three but the other did not so it was decided to go home on 8/21. It was unfortunate that we did not get to see Waynesville and enjoy the surrounding area.

Great Location, But Significant Issues

If you want to be in Waynesville this is a great location. It is a nice property, and with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths would be good for a large group. The large deck is great (although no real view). HOWEVER, the property is desperately in need of routine upkeep and maintenance. I have owned a vacation property, and this simply is not up to snuff. There was a broken wicker chair (presumably from the deck) that was just tossed off to the side of the driveway, where it just sits rotting. The gutter on one entire side of the house is filled with debris and there is large vegetation growing out of it. The house and deck are in DIRE need of a power wash and re-staining. There is a pile of debris (weeds, branches, etc.) tossed on the ground just outside the door. Planters on the deck are basically full of weeds (although we very much enjoyed the wren nest with babies in it in one of them).The trees are overgrown and are on the house and deck stairway. I have pictures of all of this if the owners would like to see. Additionally, inside, there was a toilet paper holder dislodged and hanging from one screw. Drywall damage on the stairway to the second floor. The house was superficially clean, but the freezer had some dirt and frozen dark liquid on the bottom shelf. Gross. It was clear that various other areas had not received a dusting in a long time. Week to week cleaning is fine, but at some point when the property is vacant, it needs a thorough cleaning everywhere. We also had an ant infestation. Not upset about that, it happens. Property manager dropped off some traps. Owner was very responsive to a couple of texts, but if they are relying on this "property manager," to take care of their property, it is a complete failure. He or she is doing nothing as near as I can tell. Love the location, property is cute, but would not stay there again unless all of these problems are addressed. There are too many other options.
