So come listen to the sounds of our North Carolina Mountains as you relax on our veranda on our beautiful wraparound porch, or find romance while enjoying our tucked away hammock or gazebo swing in our gardens. Why not discuss things to do in and around Waynesville and Haywood County like discovering art and culture in our galleries and museum, or discovering nature through the waterfalls and vistas offered by the hiking trails of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Smoky Mountains, while you sit back and enjoy the mountain views at our fire pit or feel the warmth of a crackling fire on a cool, crisp mountain night. Then come inside for a game of cards or some lively conversation with other guests in the comfort of our warm and inviting living room or play a game of scrabble before leaving for dinner at one of our fine local restaurants.

At the end of the day, as you climb our staircase to retire to one of our romantic bed and breakfast rooms or suites, meticulously renovated in 2004 by the previous owners, you'll find yourself going back in time as you feel the history in the massive banister and craftsmanship of the beautiful oak wainscoting. Just imagine how your room was once enjoyed by wealthy travelers escaping the summer heat to spend the entire summer with the Colonel and Mrs. Howell, the original owners of The Windover, to enjoy the cool mountain breezes when our bed and breakfast was a Waynesville, NC Tourist House in the early 1900's! Renovated to offer casual elegance and modern comforts like air conditioning and complete privacy, you'll enjoy rooms with private baths, whirlpool tubs, pillow top mattresses and fine linens, sitting areas, ceiling fans, irons and ironing boards, CD alarm clocks and cable television at our Waynesville, North Carolina bed and breakfast.

In the morning you'll awake to the aroma of our delicious, organic coffee, roasted only blocks away from our Waynesville, NC bed and breakfast, ground fresh for you each day and available at 7 AM on our first, second and third floor, so no one has to go too far for that first cup of coffee. Whether you join other guests in the dining room at 9 AM, or sleep in and have our delicious, satisfying home cooked breakfast in your suite at 9:30, you'll enjoy a delicious fruit starter, homemade baked goods and entrees like French Toast or Waffles, Eggs Benedict, Strata or Quiche.

In all of our guest room baths you'll find unscented Oatmeal Soap and Tea Olive Conditioning Shampoo made of the finest natural ingredients. To soothe your soul, in our guest rooms with whirlpool tubs you'll find a complimentary pillow packet of Soak Aromatherapy.
