About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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!
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Barber Orchard Fruitstand. The vacation home includes amenities such as a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine, and 2 bathrooms
  • 12 minutes by car from Balsam Spa and 13 minutes from Pisgah National Forest
This vacation home offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

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.

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!

Fabulous House
We stayed for four nights and we loved this house! The owners thought of everything that a guest might need to make their stay enjoyable. When we arrived, there was a personalized card along with a bottle of wine on the kitchen island. As we explored the house, we continued to be impressed by the attention to detail for guests. For example, each bathroom towel was beautifully folded, a pumice pad was left in the shower, the linens were beautiful, etc... The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated that each room was temperature controlled. The fenced-in yard was incredible for our two dogs and they also loved laying under the maple tree to enjoy the shade. The fire pit was wonderful and the owners left matches and wood which was so nice! The view from this property is breathtaking. In addition, the location of this house was perfect for us. It was close to the highways, as well as a small park where we walked our dogs each morning. The grocery stores and Walmart were less than a 5-minute drive. We will definitely stay at this beautiful house the next time we are in town.

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!

Best property I’ve stayed in…
We decided last minute to take a trip to Waynesville and I’m so glad this property was available. First and foremost, the hosts have set up this property to be perfect for dog owners. The backyard is spacious and securely fenced, and can be accessed from the deck off the main floor, from the downstairs bedroom, or straight from the driveway. There was a designated dog towel for wiping paws and two dog bowls, plus a coverlet to use on the couch if the dogs are accustomed to being on furniture - very thankful for these items because even though I remembered my personal dog towels I totally forgot my dogs’ water bowl. For human guests: everything is updated inside, from flooring to furniture. The master bed was extremely comfortable (so many VRBO hosts overlook the mattresses, but not here!), the kitchen was very nice and seemed to have every appliance one could need. It was bitterly cold during our stay, and the home’s heating kept up beautifully. The ROKU tv and WiFi worked great. The home’s location is up a mountainside and so quiet, but it only takes 5 min to get down the hill to Papas and Beers and another 5 to be in downtown. The hosts are local and very proactive and responsive. My only complaint is that I didn’t pull out the 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle until evening 2 of 3, and as a result I didn’t have enough time to finish it. :-) maybe next time!

This is probably the best Vrbo we have stayed in! Quaint, clean, decorated for Christmas, pet friendly, amenities were exactly as described, everything we needed at our fingertips, and a bottle of wine as well!

Christmas trip
House has a nice mountain view. Living room and kitchen are smaller than pictured, but still nice. Both bathrooms have some counter space for toiletries so that is a plus. Would be nice to have a bathroom downstairs. We cooked breakfast and dinner, the trash can outside was a bit small for a group of 6. The provisions of a blanket to cover the couch and towels for wet dog paws are very thoughtful. We enjoyed our stay!
