Located in Waynesville, this welcoming cottage brings it all within your reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 19-minute drive to Great Smoky Mountains National Park or the 31-minute drive to Pisgah National Forest (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind on the balcony or sip a drink by the firepit. For a change of scenery, come inside and try your hand at billiards, or enjoy the free WiFi and TV.

This 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom rental features a living room, a BBQ grill, a fireplace, and air conditioning. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as a microwave, cookware, and a coffee grinder. And there's a washing machine, so you can even pack a bit lighter.
