Waynesville Homes

Waynesville

As the largest city west of Asheville in North Carolina, Waynesville is starting to create quite a reputation for itself. Lying in the valley between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Pisgah National Forest, the quaint downtown area has a picturesque backdrop of tall mountain ridges that peak above the historical brick cityscape. The city has had an influx of new restaurants, breweries, local businesses and more that give it big city amenities with small town charm. 

Foodies have a plethora of options to choose from in Waynesville. Frog's Leap, an upscale eatery with a rotating seasonal menu using locally sourced ingredients, has won the Trip Advisor Traveler's Choice Award for 2020, and offers a variety of unique menu items you won't find elsewhere. Or for a more casual experience, share a large handmade pizza or panini at the local favorite, Ian and Jojo's Pizzeria. For the beer lovers, check out the expansive Boojum Brewing Company, with over 16 taps of fresh brews and an expansive food menu that you can enjoy watching the sunset from their outdoor patio. For outdoor activities, residents here will play a round of golf on the Lake Junaleska Golf Course located downtown, or hike one of the many trails in the nearby national parks. Too many options to count!
