As personable as Europe's finest boutique hotels, service to make the Ritz envious, comfy beds, great food, a beautifully restored period house and the two nicest inn keepers you will ever meet. They anticipated our every whim. Even met us at the door with a tray of cold beer (our friends passion) and always had wine glasses waiting for my wife. This is definitely the place to stay.

It has become our tradition to visit Oak Hill twice a year. It is our favorite destination. When you walk in the door it feels like “home”. Our first stop is the front veranda. A few minutes resting in a comfy chair and taking in the mountain view is immediately relaxing. Deb & Shell are Innkeepers Supreme! No detail is overlooked. You can always expect a warm welcome. A low key, friendly atmosphere abounds with 5 spacious, yet cozy and comfortable rooms to choose from, as well as private sitting areas, both on the first and second floors. From the exceptionally comfortable beds, covered in lovely linens, to all the bath amenities you would require, no detail is left undone. There are refreshments and freshly baked sweets awaiting in the dining room. It is always a pleasant surprise to peruse the menu for the next day’s breakfast – we can hardly wait to arise in the morning to enjoy that special meal and meet the other guests who have chosen Oak Hill. Each day as you leave to sightsee, Deb is happy to pack freshly baked muffins for your mid-morning snack. If your choice is Oak Hill for a short or long getaway you will not be disappointed. We are counting down the days to our next visit. Jan & Lee Emrich

My husband and I just arrived back home after a wonderful four night stay with Shell & Deb. We were celebrating our 1-year wedding anniversary and staying at Oak Hill on Love Lane was the best decision I could have made! Deb & Shell honestly helped to make our special occasion perfect. It was better than I could have imagined. To say they are accomodating would be a gross understatement. I really felt as if we were visiting family. The breakfasts were amazing! Our room was romantic & beautiful. Their attention to detail is like no other. This was our first stay at a B & B and I can honestly say I cannot wait to go back to Waynesville and stay with Shell & Deb again. I could go on and on about how perfect our stay was but I have a feeling there is a character limit on this entry. Thank you Shell & Deb for making our 1st Anniversary so special and beautiful.

My husband and I love this part of NC and have vacationed in the area every Fall for the past few years. This year was our first time staying at Oak Hill and I honestly don't think I could bear to stay anywhere else now! The inn itself is exquisite: immaculately kept and elegantly appointed, yet comfortable and unpretentious. The amenities were plentiful (rooms refreshed daily and turn-down service every evening, most comfortable bed ever, boutique toiletries, fresh baked goods every day, complimentary butler's pantry, the list goes on...) and the breakfasts were sublime. Deb and Shell are amazing hosts. They are warm and welcoming and are truly committed to making your stay enjoyable (right down to the smallest detail). Get ready to get spoiled at Oak Hill!

With the help of Deb and Shell, my husband surprised me with two nights at the Oak Hill on Love Lane for our 24th anniversary. We had a fabulous time! The Inn is beautifully restored and our room was gorgeous! Deb and Shell have excellent taste! The bed was the most comfortable one we've ever slept in. In the evening our sheets were turned down , perfumed with lavender and chocolates were on our pillow (chocolate covered strawberries were beside our bed the first night!) The breakfasts were delicious as well! Deb had homemade treats, a cabinet full of drinks and snacks available during the day. Deb and Shell were both very knowledgeable about the area and gave us directions to see the waterfalls and made reservations for us for dinner at the Sweet Onion. We had a lovely time and look forward to a return visit.

Oak Hill on Love Lane has to be the nicest bed and breakfast that we have stayed. The rooms were large, clean and the furnishing were beautifu. The innkeepers were very helpful with restaurant choices and made reservations for us. Breakfast was fabulous and they emailed their recipes to me. We loved Oak Hill and are talking about returning again this fall.

Our stay at Oak Hill Inn exceeded all expectations we had of a Bed and Breakfast. The rooms are elegant; the service was that of a 5 star hotel and the Paula Dean french toast just melted in your mouth. We loved the porch and visiting with other guest, we made new friends and plan to return next year together. Deb and Shell are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. If you choose this Bed and Breakfast you will not have any regrets and prepare to be pampered. Denise & Mike Brinson Knoxville, TN

My girlfriend and I wanted to take a romantic trip to the North Carolina mountains and raft. We chose Oak Hill based on their website alone, and boy, were we overwhelmed. Shell and Debbie were more kind, warm, and service oriented than we could have asked for. And the breakfast was spectacular. Complimentary coffee by the cup, and homemade baked goods in the afternoon made the trip so wonderful. We really wanted for nothing. Our room was beautiful, the bathroom and toiletries were luxurious. It was my girlfriend's first time in a b&b, and it made the weekend great.

We were very impressed with the way Deb and Shell got up in the early morning hours to accommodate breakfast for us all. The house is beautiful, welcoming, and gives an old time Victorian feel. The food was delicious and the house is only a short walk from the town. It is also a short distance from the Nantahala white water rafting center! The B&B is very triathlete friendly and is a great place to stay for an early race! We had an excellent time and cannot wait to come back!

If you were to look up the word "perfection" in the B&B Dictionary -- "Oak Hill on Love Lane" would surely be the definition.

Oak Hill on Love Lane in Waynesville, NC is a relatively new bed and breakfast and is probably one of the best inns that I have ever visited because of the owners. I stay in bed & breakfasts almost exclusively when I travel. The owners, Shell & Deb, go out of their way to make sure that your stay is memorable. From all of the details throughout the B&B to your spacious and lovely guest accommodation, they have thought of just about everything. They have beautiful but comfortable indoor common areas, plus a large wrap around porch (my favorite spot to enjoy the great mountain view and cooler evening temps) that looks out over the grounds. Wooded and private, this is a place that is being tended to by caring and loving hearts. Traveling on my own to meet up with friends a bit farther North, I felt so relaxed. This is a quiet and serene spot which was perfect for me to let go of all the stresses of business. A great spot to use as a base to visit Asheville and the Biltmore Estate, too. The guest rooms are very tasteful in decor and the textiles are just lovely. The bathrooms are immaculate as well as pretty. The bath amenities that are made especially for Oak Hill are great. Wonderful thick towels to wrap up in and comfy robes to lounge in can also be found in the baths. Many complimentary amenities: free Wifi (which worked very well everywhere); bottled water, sodas, iced tea and coffee, snacks, Deb's yummy afternoon treats are in the dining room; evening turndown service; concierge services. Breakfast was delicious and so filling that I had to have my muffin "to-go". Wonderful presentation with plenty of great coffee, too. The best part about Oak Hill on Love Lane is the attentive and amiable hosts who make you feel like you've known them all your life. This is the secret to a great bed and breakfast! I only wish that I could have stayed longer. I will be back with my husband to visit Oak Hill and the area because of these nice folks!

Oak Hill is the Ritz Carlton of B&B's. This magnificent North Carolina historical house has been newly renovated and it is magnificent. Every room is decorated to its own uniqueness and one room is more exquisite then the next. The beds are extremely luxurious and comfortable. I cannot remember the last time we slept so good. In the morning we were treated to a delicious gourmet breakfast and great conversation with the owners and the other guests. Afternoon tea was served with freshly home baked goods that we enjoyed out on the veranda overlooking the mountains. Shell and Deb are warm, wonderful and talented people with years of experience in the hotel industry. They will cater to your every need. It is no wonder the visit was a five star experience. We also loved Waynesville and everything the town and surrounding area had to offer. Wish we could have stayed longer and cannot wait to return. Kerstin and Danny

The only reason why we rated Oak Hill 5’s was because there were no 10’s. The accommodations surpassed our expectations; the cleanest room we have ever occupied hands down. The three morning meals were the best breakfasts that we’ve ever had. As good as the accommodations and food were, the hospitality shown by Deb and Shell was even better. They attended to our every need, were eager to suggest fun activities and provided much needed maps and directions (I get lost in my own backyard). Deb and Shell made us feel as if we were part of a family, not just guests at a hotel. We look forward to a repeat visit soon. Regards, Tony and Carla.

We had the great pleasure of returning to Oak Hill for the third time over the Memorial Day holiday. Each time we visit our expectations are well exceeded! Each guest suite has its own personality and Deb & Shell are expert on helping to determine the best suite for each guest. They are there to please from morning til night. Breakfasts are outstanding; fresh baked goodies to go as you leave for the day; upon returning from sightseeing a welcome seat on the front veranda is so restful. The gardens and the mountains in the distance give great peace. When turning in at night your room has been refreshed, beds turned down, and chocolates on your pillow are waiting. The inn is very quiet and restful even with a full house. Oak Hill is a special retreat and we look forward to our next trip. The home is lovely, but the innkeepers are the very best. Awesome! It could be an 11, but we will settle for a 10! J&L

How can I go back to staying in a regular hotel ever again? I’ve stayed at some of the best including the Ritz Carlton in Naples, the Mandarin Oriental in San Francisco, and The Francis Marion in Charleston yet they all pale in comparison to Oak Hill. Deb and Shell are much more than innkeepers. Convivial, engaging and professional; there is no questioning their desire to ensure your visit is unforgettable. It’s like visiting your favorite Aunt and Uncle. The service is unmatched, the food, all from scratch and served with enthusiasm, is worth a visit in and of itself, and the rooms have every conceivable detail accounted for. There isn't enough room here to describe how comfortable the beds are. If you travel extensively, be prepared to experience a new standard in guest accommodations and dread the day you have to stay anywhere else.

This bed and breakfast is not to be missed if you are visiting the Blue Ridge Mountains. Deb and Shell are the quintessential hosts. They are lovely to talk to, and their accommodations reflect their unique spirit and perspective of what a home away from home should be. Deb's cookies and pumpkin bread are reason enough. Most important though, you feel comfortable just being there. I hope to return soon.

The pictures on their website reflects accurately what guest experience and more. This elegant B&B shown on their website is exactly the way we found each room. There is attention to detail in amenities and service. We were pampered throughout our stay. From the special consideration for our diet, offering snacks/drinks, and providing allergy friendly bedding and an filtered air system. The amenities offered here are better than the ones we’ve found at 5 star hotels including white glove cleanliness. What is not reflected is Deb & Shells passion for creating the ultimate relaxing experience. We look forward to our third stay in a few weeks.

We stumbled on this property by accident. It has just reopened after extensive redecorating and remodeling. This place is like a fine New York Hotel. I would have paid twice as much (hope the owners don't read these) and been pleased. The hosts are so friendly and nice - paying attention to the smallest of details. You'll love the linens, towels, soaps, sitting area (our room as a sitting room w/ fireplace and I believe some others do as well.) This area is so much more relaxing than Asheville, although it is only 30 minutes away if you have to see the sites there. This is the classiest place I've ever stayed and will return to do nothing, but sit on that front porch looking over dowtown and the mountains of Waynesville.

Deb and Shell were both great hosts, and were there to help with any need we had. The breakfast provided is similar to what you would find in a fine restaurant for breakfast, it was so delicious. They use local products which were high quality. We look forward to visiting Oak Hill again, hopefully we can get up there for the fall colors. Thanks so much for a great getaway! Ben & Kristie
