"This is a wonderful choice. Close enough to I 40 but secluded. Even though we arrived late due to work, Denise came out to say hello and give us a quick tour.

Waynesville is an awesome little mountain town. Small, but feels big in some ways. Excellent dining options and shopping, and several grocery stores. Locals know all of this, but being from out of state, I would classify it as a best-kept-secret.
