“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

I went with 5 other women for our annual girl's weekend, and we loved The Yellow House. One of women had been 3 other times and highly recommended it. The rooms we stayed in were all beautiful, charming and immaculately clean. I did not see a speck of dust anywhere, which may explain the 100 rating they have from the health department. Shawn, the Innkeeper is delightful. He was helpful in recommending places to dine and hike, and the two women who helped him prepare and serve breakfast were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in being exceptional hosts. Breakfast both mornings was delicious...fresh fruit, baked eggs, bacon, sausage, a delicious french toast dish. I was also impressed with the attention to detail...hiking sticks available (complimentary), plenty of umbrellas by the front door if needed, snacks, wine, appetizers, fresh cookies always available, along with a great assortment of tea and fresh coffee. We all had a fabulous weekend, and want to go back again! The house and grounds are lovely, and Waynesville has great hiking, some cute shops, and beautiful scenery.

“The Yellow House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012

Our trip to see the fall color was the reason we chose Waynesville, NC. The Yellow House is the reason we'll be going back. It was THE BEST getaway we've ever had! We stayed in the pond house, behind the main house. It was lovely and romantic, more than we had expected! Breakfast at the sunny bay window was scrumptious. The main house was a delightful. We enjoyed meeting other guests while sipping wine and sampling cheese, late afternoon. We could not have found a warmer, more gracious host than Shawn. We are looking for time in our schedules to run back to this beautiful, dreamy retreat!

“the Yellow House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

A good friend proclaimed the Yellow House as her favorite B & B so when it showed on our GPS lodging listing, the destination was set. In the midst of brilliant fall color, we knocked on the door and were accepted as walk-ins and for one night (not always possible.) If we had not already been booked in another city, an additional night at The Yellow House would have been a delight. We walked in to a big beautiful parlor set with wines and culinary treats. The host, Shaun left these goodies a bit longer than usual so that we could enjoy. He gave us a tour of the beautiful home, and explained that we should "make ourselves at home" with beverages, cookies, even cereal for a late night hunger raid if needed. We went upstairs to our generously sized room, containing plenty of reading material, beverages in the frig and robes. After a bit we went out to a favorite Italian restaurant in Waynesville. Returning, we served ourselves port, cookies and biscotti.
Breakfast was at 9:00 served with a choice - on the porch, in our room or in the dining room. We chose meeting the guests around a very big dining table. A breakfast feast was presented and the wonderful treat of meeting so many interesting, friendly people was enjoyed as well. I highly recommend the pleasure of staying at the Yellow House.

“A dream come true”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

This was our first stay in a Bed and Breakfast and as a young couple we had no idea what to expect. Our stay at The Yellow House was a graduation gift from me to my boyfriend and I don't think our 2 nights at The Yellow House could have been more perfect. Shawn and his staff were wonderful; there when you needed them or had questions about the area (where to go, what to eat, what to see) but gave you the privacy you desired. The home itself is beautiful, tucked away in Waynesville (so quaint!) with plenty to do and see. Visiting in June was a gorgeous time of year to visit, so green and full of life. We even heard an elk bugling! We truly cherish the memories we made at our stay at The Yellow House and hope to return as soon as possible.

Room Tip: We stayed in the St. Paul de Vence Suite which is located downstairs, separated from other rooms. Gr...

“August Get-A-Way to Waynesville”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

This was our second stay at the Yellow House and we took our best friends. We loved interacting with the other guests during wine & cheese hour and the fantastic breakfasts on the front porch. As always, Shawn and his staff were wonderful - and we love Waynesville.
