Musings from the Mountains

While browsing the internet today, I came across an article on Waynesville, NC.  Travel and Leisure Magazine posted a wonderful review of Waynesville, emphasizing some of the things that make Waynesville a great place to visit.  I loved the comment by Esther Blakely, owner of Cataloochee Valley Tours:  “Waynesville is nestled among the Great Smoky Mountains, and they seem to envelop you as soon as you arrive.”  This sentence really struck me, as I had exactly the same feeling about Waynesville when I came here over 50 years ago.

The article goes on to mention a charming downtown filled with art galleries, restaurants, antique stores, breweries and nearby hiking trails.  They also mention The Swag resort near Waynesville which earned the top spot on the list of resorts in the South in the 2023 Worlds Best Awards.  The article goes on to mention the Cataloochee Ranch, Andon-Reid Inn Bed and Breakfast, The Yellow House on Plott Creek Road, and Boyd Mountain Log Cabins.  (All great places to stay in my humble opinion)

The article further lists activities in the area, as well as shopping and restaurant suggestions.
