Waynesville, located high in the Southern Appalachian mountain range of Western North Carolina is Haywood County’s oldest town and county seat. Our nation’s most visited park, The Great Smoky Mountains National Park and America’s favorite drive, the magnificent Blue Ridge Parkway intersect right here in Waynesville.

The natural wonders of this area are easily accessible from anywhere in the Unites States. Its central location on the Eastern board of the US - via major Interstate highways and close proximity to Asheville/Hendersonville Regional airport - makes this the perfect environment for a North Carolina mountain home in a most spectacular setting. Breathtaking scenic vistas of the entire region can be enjoyed from NC mountainside home sites around Waynesville and Maggie’s Valley.

You can feel the clean mountain air on your skin and enjoy crystal clear water, where every drop of every river, stream and creek originates in local springs! The never-ending panoramas of unspoiled nature are dramatic. Combined with the charming Southern hospitality of the NC mountains, Waynesville possesses an irresistible draw to call this place home.

The mild North Carolina mountain climate has four distinct seasons. Cooling mountain breezes and perhaps an occasional bracing chill from splashing waterfalls and rushing whitewaters during warm summer days are always refreshing. It is never too hot to enjoy hiking, horseback riding, fly-fishing for mountain trout, river rafting or playing mountain golf on exceptionally scenic championship courses.

In winter the nearby Cataloochee Ski Area turns into a playground for the whole family with slopes and trails for skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing and snowmobiling on powder covered hills. Relaxing and dining at the mountain lodge lets you unwind. At this time of the year you can easily spot the abundant wildlife, such as deer, wild turkeys and even re-introduced elk. When the leaves have fallen, even wider and more distant views are revealed, and you can sit by the cozy fireside while enjoying the panorama of the North Carolina mountain ridges being quietly draped in a soft blanket of snow.

The most famous and dramatic vistas during the year by far attract visitors from everywhere: autumn’s awe-inspiring burst of flaming oranges, yellows and reds of dense fall foliage along the Blue Ridge Parkway and in the Smoky Mountains! Spring paints an entirely different spectrum of whites, pinks, reds and every shade of green on blooming trees, azaleas and lush rhododendron shrubs. The scenery always looks new.

Throughout the year, the NC Mountains are alive with music. From bluegrass, country and folk music to Rock’n Roll, there’s sure to be entertainment within earshot. Theatres, festivals, arts and craft fairs, and local points of historical interest provide a wealth of diversions. You’ll agree that Waynesville, North Carolina is located in the center of our nation’s jewelry box of natural beauty. You can even find your own rare stone at a local gem mine!
