 Even before the railroad made it easy to get here, visitors flocked to Waynesville for the cool, clean air, clean water, outstanding scenery and an opportunity to escape sweltering cities. Historic Downtown Waynesville is as busy as ever with plenty of shops and restaurants. It's just a mile from our bed and breakfast luxury accommodations.
You're bound to fall in love. Downtown Waynesville's quaint old buildings, brick sidewalks, galleries, tempting foods and old-time general store will take you back to a more leisurely time. A time when people made you feel welcome and when you could slow down and really savor the present. See a list of downtown galleries and specialty stores below.
When it's time to dine, there is everything from hearty country fare to the local specialty mountain trout, to fine international cuisine and high-end gourmet. See our list of restaurants below.
Waynesville is also home to superb mountain golf. Under a fresh mountain sky, you can tee off at one of our many golf resorts and golf courses and play along kush fairways ringed with awe inspiring mountain views. See our Golf Guide.
Waynesville may be a small town, but it's big on entertainment and culture. There's nightlife and music for every taste - from bluegrass and country to jazz, contemporary and folk. The award-wining theatre local features a full schedule of performances.
 Folkmoot U.S.A. attracts entertainers from all over the world. North Carolina's Official International Festival, Folkmoot is a two-week celebration of the world's cultural heritage through folk music and dance. Held each July in and near Waynesville, Folkmoot features performances, parades and workshops by more than 350 performers from a dozen or so countries. Performers demonstrate cultural heritage through colorful, authentic and original reproduction costumes, lively dance and beautiful music. During its 25-year history, over 200 folk groups from more than 100 countries have shared their heritage and culture at Folkmoot USA. Go to the Folkmoot website for more.
The Museum of North Carolina Handicrafts in Waynesville showcases a distinctive collection of art, handicrafts and furniture created by North Carolina artists. An outgrowth of an annual North Carolina State Fair exhibit, "Village of Yesteryear," the Museum's displays include intricate woodworking, weaving, quilting Seagrove and other pottery, dolls, a Native American room, and many other artifacts.
Two nearby anique malls are a must for antique lovers. Barber's Orchard Antique Mall features 20,000 square feet of space and over 80 dealers. Balsam Antique Mall has 100 booths and is located next door to Thad Woods Auction, that holds antique, estate and business auctions.
Downtown Waynesville Restaurants
There many restaurant choices near our bed and breakfast. We will be glad to make recommendations, and we have copies of menus from many of the restaurants at the inn. Carolyn's favorites for dinner are Maggie's Galley for the blacked grouper and Fat Buddies BBQ for ribs. Dina's favorites are Sweet Onion for their outstanding crab cakes and Nick and Nate's for the spinach and feta pizza. We both love Lomo Grill. Carolyn's favorite there is the beef tenderloin and Dina's is the Eggplant alla Ricardo. For lunch, Carolyn recommends Apple Crate Cafe for their chicken salad sandwiches and Panacea for their awesome soup and sandwich combos. Dina's favorites are Panacea for their club sandwich and Whitman's bakery for just about everything!
