Oak Hill on Love Lane

Couldn't have found a better place to spend Father's Day. This is the thirteenth year my wonderful wife has scheduled a golf and relaxation getaway for us on Father's day. Everything about the trip was a pleasure thanks to the all out effort of Deb and Shell at the Oak Hill on Love Lane. They will provide you with a wonderful experience that you shouldn't miss.

My wife and I decided to get out of Charlotte for the weekend to cap off our celebration of our 24th wedding anniversary. I found out about Oak Hill just from the on-line Trip Adviser site. From our arrival Friday afternoon to our departure both Deb and Shell provided exquisite service in every area to make our stay comfortable! They have a unique gift of working together to bring you a relaxing atmosphere, fine dining and a true knowledge of every possible thing you would like to experience in the area. Deb and Shell you have truly set the bar a lot higher when you compare Oak Hill with establishments in the area!! We'll be back. David Hutchings

Oak Hill was probably the best B&B I have ever stayed in. Deb and Shell are warm and welcoming, amenities are excellent and Deb is a fabulous cook. The delicious muffins to go every morning were my favourite along with the fresh fruit juice - to say nothing of the warm chocolate chip cookies for a mid day or late night snack!. Marlene

We planned a trip to Asheville and we decided for the first time to stay at a Bed and Breakfast. We ended up choosing Oak Hill on Love Lane Bed and Breakfast. Our stay was absolutely wonderful! For us it was very special to sit down in the morning for a delicious breakfast at a very well set table. It was a wonder change of pace from our normal cup of coffee and cereal before running out the door to get the kids to school. But what really made our stay that this antique Victorian setting was the attention to details from the hosts, Dave and Shell. Anything you can possibly think of to ask, they can answer or more than willing to find the answer. We are looking forward to our next visit to Asheville and the mountains. We already know that we plan to return to Oak Hill.

Great B&B. Wonderful owners. Had a great time. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Wow, what a weekend! Our son graduated with a Master's from WCU and proposed to his girlfriend all on the same night! Oak Hill provided the perfect place to land after a very eventful day. Deb and Shell were the best! They were attentive to our every need and made the weekend so special for all of us. We were able to gather on the porch that evening with our son, his fiancee and her family for a glass of wine and snacks. Deb and Shell had everything set up for us when we arrived that evening. Breakfast was outstanding as well as the muffins they bag for you for your trip home! We could not have picked a better place for this special occasion. We will be recommending Oak Hill to all of our family and friends and hope to return soon ourselves!

We only stayed one night but the B&B was excellent from beginning to end. We will definitely come back again. Shell and Barb were very gracious hosts who worked very hard to please the guests.

We stayed at the Oak Hill for three nights. The 3 course breakfasts were amazing!!! Deb is great about working around food allergies - which a lot of B&B owners are not. The house and grounds are lovely. Shell and Deb are great about giving directions and recommendations for things in the area and surrounding areas as well. They called ahead to the restaurants we wanted to eat at and made sure there was a table waiting for us. They are very warm and inviting but also respectful of personal space and privacy. We will definitely go back there again.

Where do I begin?...My wife and I were looking for something different to do for our 2nd anniversary, but weren't sure about what. I randomly suggested something in the mountains of NC and maybe doing a B&B, which we had never done before. My wife was the one who found Oak Hill and saw it's stellar reviews, this being extremely influential in our decision to make our arrangements here. It turned out to be one of the best choices we have made as man and wife so far. Immediately upon arrival, it felt like we had come to the warmest, safest, and coziest home there is in America. It felt like Christmas in March. We walked in and took a tour of all the most beautiful and picturesque rooms the home had to offer. We stayed in the Bess Ray-Howell room and were in awe. I wanted to stay forever. Deb and Shell were so very sweet and wonderful. They knew everything about everything; I felt like I could ask how to get to the moon. Now, our anniversary falls right in between the offseason and when it begins, so we were limited on what we could fill our day with. However, they made it seem like we had arrived at the perfect time and could have done just about anything. And the food was scrumptious and delicious. They, also, made extra specific accommodations for my wife because of her special diet needs. I, nor my wife, would have changed a thing and could not have wished for a better experience. Thank you Oak Hill, Deb and Shell, for such a great and wonderful time and for making our anniversary impeccable. We will most definitely be going back.

We recently spent 3 nights in the Clyde Ray Suite at this B&B and had a fantastic experience! Deb & Shell were wonderful! We felt they were friends instead of just the proprietors. The house is beautiful, the rooms immaculate and we can't say enough about the breakfasts. They were not only delicious but beautiful in their presentation! At the end of breakfast you will leave with one of Deb's "little white bags," with a special treat for later. Attention to detail was in evidence during our entire stay. We highly recommend that everyone experience Oak Hill on Love Lane, as well as, the charming town of Waynesville, NC. Our many thanks to Deb and Shell for their wonderful hospitality!

We truly enjoyed our stay as always! It is impeccable!

My wife and I literally had zero complaints on our stay. We explained that though we are only a half hour away, we were looking for a quite night to have a mini-get away. We were treated to exceptional hospitality, a wonderful bed, and then the breakfast was out of this world. The owners were very kind. They showed hospitality without being overbearing and provided us with plenty of suggestions as to where to eat and what to do for fun. We will return to this B and B. We recommend it without any hesitation.

Our stay at Oak Hill on Love Lane was a wonderful experience. Deb and Shell are WONDERFUL cooks and the hospitality was above and beyond our expectations. The house is warm and inviting and they know so much interesting history for the house that it made it that much more interesting. Everything was clean and very well maintained. It was so nice to "make ourselves at home" with the coffee and homemade goodies provided each day. It was also a special treat to be sent on your way for the day after breakfast with a homemade "snack" to go ! I would definitely stay at this B&B again and I would recommend it to friends and strangers alike !

From the minute you walk in the door to the time you sadly say good-bye it was a wonderful experience. The breakfast was wonderful and even custom made for my husband and I, which was a special touch for us. I can see us going back in the near future. It made for a very romantic Valentine weekend for us.

Deb and Shell were outstanding hosts. The house and rooms are spacious and very comfortable with all appointed handsomely. House sits on a hill with views into downtown Waynesville with mountain views in the distance. While Downtown Waynesville looks charming we were extremey disappointed in the shops' merchandise selection.

My husband and I stayed at Oak Hill several years ago when the doors first opened! It was such an amazing and memorable experience, that 4 1/2 years, 2 kids, and many sleepless nights later we were thrilled to be able to go back! What a TREAT!!! The food is amazing! The rooms are beautiful and tranquil! Best of all, the service is top-notch! This is one place you don't want to miss. One night with Deb and Shell and you will never want to go back to a regular hotel again!!

Deb and Shell are fantastic hosts, and their service is out of this world. This was our first stay at a bed and breakfast and it makes us not want to stay at a hotel again! We were greeted by Shell who showed us around this beautiful house. All rooms are very spacious with their own private bathrooms. The beds are amazing, all tempur-pedic with high thread count sheets...we couldn't have asked for a better nights sleep! Deb is a FANTASTIC cook. The multi-course breakfast was the best we have ever had. Deb also prepares snacks for throughout the day that are so delicious! Oak Hill is within minutes to downtown Waynesville and it is easily accessible to Asheville. There are also a ton of hiking trails nearby. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for top notch service and a unique experience. We will definitely be back!

Me and my husband love staying at bed and breakfasts and Oak Hill has by far been the best! Deb and Shell had special touches that went a long way and the breakfast was outstanding! This is most definitely a bed and breakfast we will be re-visiting! It made our vacation!

Bonnie (my wife) and I have been staying at B&Bs since 1978, both in many of the states and across Europe. We chose Oak hill because of the location and their web site - we'll return because of the Isenbergs. Shell & Debi are without a doubt the best hosts we've ever encountered and the B&B they present is outstanding in every way. Our 4 day stay was superb! The room was immaculate and Shell did a turn-down service every evening, complete with chocolate on each pillow. Debi's breakfasts were culinary delights and they catered in an exceptional way to my vegetarian diet. And the 3rd course muffin snacks to take with you duiring the day put the breakfast over the top. We highly recommend Oak Hill Ron & Bonnie Howell Fairborn, OH

We discovered this wonderful inn last year and came back this year to enjoy this lovely inn. Deb and Shell keep no stone unturned to make you feel special and their hometown friendliness is unmatched. Their hospitality and level of detail is so rare. Thank-you for a great weekend! Kathi and Chick

Shell and Deb were the perfect hosts seeing to our every need. Thanks so much for accommodating my gluten-free dietary requirements with still delicious food! This home is immaculate yet welcoming and cozy and the beds are awesome! Hope to return one day.

Oak Hill on Love Lane is an outstanding place to stay. Deb and Shell, the owners, understand what the word hospitality means and they make sure each and every guest is made to reek welcome and attended to. 5 Stars all the way!

Deb & Shell are "Wonderful" hosts, we keep coming back no reason to stay anywhere else.

Beautiful, well-appointed home with delightful, thoughtful innkeepers. Extremely clean home. Serves very delicious breakfasts. Made to feel very welcome. Coffee, soft drinks and snacks available 24/7 - very nice touch. Highly recommended.

Beautiful house. Gracious hosts. Peaceful and relaxing. Two indoor sitting areas. Awrap around porch. Shel very helpful with directions. Room was beautifully appointed and bigger tha even it appeared on the web. Definitely would stay there again if we were in Waynesville.

We travel a good bit and we can say this is a Five Star B&B. The house was beautiful and the rooms were immaculate and spacious. Shell & Deb cover everything, being there for any requests you may have. First class all the way.

We got the suite and truely loved it. Deb and Shell are great hosts. Great old house with great bones.

My husband and I just spent 6 days at Oak Hill on Love Lane and it was truly perfect. Deb & Shell are gracious hosts, the house itself was perfect and better than the pictures depict. From the comfortable rooms to the front porch with a view of the mountains, this B& B has it all. The fabulous breakfasts were terrific with a different menu every day, Deb is an excellent cook and Shell is extremely accommodating. If you are looking for a place to sit and relax and be pampered then this is the place to be.

Deb and Shell set the bar very high. Their bed and breakfast is a beautiful home with historic significance. It is immaculate and beautiful with an emphasis on comfort. They are attentive to your dietary needs and the breakfasts are simply fantastic. I look forward to spending time there again.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the house was charming, the owners helpful, kind and always on hand to answer questions, give suggestions, or let you do your own thing. Conveniently located within an hour of 2 state parks, 1/2 hour of parkway, we couldn't have asked for more. And breakfast...superb, excellent!!!!

Wonderful Bed and Breakfast! The rooms are spacious and beautiful, the beds are a dream to sleep on. This was our second three night stay at Oak Hill on Love Lane. It is as nice as I remembered it being a couple of years ago. The owners are accommodating and thoughtful. I have dietary issues and they were able to meet my needs as well as treating my husband to wonderful breakfasts each morning. I would highly recommend Oak Hill to anyone wanting to have a relaxing and restful stay in beautiful Maggie Valley.

Beautifully restored residence, the kindest & most helpful inn-keepers, and unique/delicious breakfasts.... We will definitely return.

Our time with Deb and Shell at Oak Hill was above and beyond our expectations of a bed and breakfast specializing in quality service. Deb and Shell are rare jems and did everything possible to fine tune our stay with them. The essence of service! The inn is breathtaking, cozy and grand at the same time. Exquisite view of mountains from the front porch. Every room is a winner and truly designed for a restful stay down to the tiny details only a close friend would think of. The breakfasts each morning were absolutely delicious, creative and satisfying. The "third course" a fun and thoughtful touch. Waynesville and the outlying towns are quaint and packed with opportunities; you won't find better guides than Deb and Shell, from restaurants to shops to nature. We will definitely return time and time again!! Can't say enough about this couple and their establishment. We consider them friends for life. J & R June 2012

Impeccably decorated, superbly hosted, Oak Hill provided us with an ideal nest to investigate retirement roosts in the Carolina mountains. Outstanding creative breakfasts (break-feasts!)provided us with a satisfying start to our daily explorations. Care packages of snack muffins sustained us through the morning hours. This is a not to be missed B&B!

We have lived and traveled in Europe for many years and have stayed in many, many B&Bs. This is one of the top that we have ever visited. The hosts were unfailingly gracious, helpful, and eager to make sure our stay in the area was easy and pleasurable. The breakfasts were imaginative and delicious, and they made accommodations for medical issues in such a way that we never felt we were causing an inconvenience. We never needed a map anywhere; we were provided with detailed instructions for hiking, sightseeing, etc. The house is beautifully restored; rooms are immaculate and the grounds are lovely. Truly outstanding and we will definitely be visiting again.

Deb and Shell are the kindest, most helpful innkeepers I have ever encountered, and they have thought of everything at beautiful Oak Hill. I was sad to leave, and I'm already thinking about when I can return. An all-around great experience.

Everything was wonderful from the time we checked in until we left. Shell and Debbie could not have been any better hosts. We completely enjoyed ourselves and were able to relax. The breakfast was outstanding. We definitely will return!

My husband and I found Oak Hill B&B by chance a few years ago when we were planning a vacation to western North Carolina. We have stayed at many B&Bs over the years and have to say that this one is our favorite! Words truly cannot express the excellent rooms, the delicious breakfasts and treats, the beautiful scenery, and the numerous activities available within the surrounding areas. Most of all, it is the owners, Deb and Shell, that make every trip back outstanding. From their attention to every detail of service, their accommodation of my personal needs (I require a gluten-free diet), and their willingness to go above and beyond in assisting you in any aspect of your daily itinerary, they provide all of their guests an amazing experience. A stay at Oak Hill B&B will offer you a wonderful visit and exceed all of your expectations!

Deb and Shell are great hosts. A great experience! We will come back.

We had the good fortune of staying at Oak Hill on Love Lane the weekend before Christmas 2011. From before our arrival to the days following our departure we felt like we had re-discovered some "old friends" in the inn keepers, Shell and Deb. The Inn itself was the most comfortable, cozy, charming B&B we have ever experienced. The food was fabulous and great care was taken to accomodate our specific preferences. We WILL be back!

Well run B&B with great inn keepers Deb & Shel. Very accomodating on providing information about the area. Luscious unique breakfasts and all of the fine amenities that give it this top rating. amenities such as comfortable beds, top of the line linens, turn down service, well sticked refreshment bar.

My husband and I stayed at Oak Hill for a one night getaway. The only thing disappointing was it was only for one night. Shell and Deb were the perfect host and hostess-very friendly, knowledgable about the area, and fantastic! The house is decorated to perfection but very comfortable. Our breakfast was splendid. We can't say enough about how perfect our stay was. We are already thinking about when we can visit again.

This B&B was the most pleasant one I have ever stayed at. It is a beautiful historic house with a view of the mountains, and it is conveniently located in Waynesville, so that you can enjoy a trip to the Asheville area without having to stay in the busy town itself. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, and make you feel right at home. My wife and I will definitely be staying here again.

Beautiful period house, full of period furniture. All of the facilities are new and blend in with the old style of the house. The shared breakfast table was new to us, but is an excellent idea and after a few minutes, guests began to share experiences and enjoy each others company. The B&B is only a few minutes walk from the beautiful Main street of Waynsville, allowing us to walk into town enjoy an evening meal and have a drink safely without driving. Would definitely stay at the B&B again if in the area.

The Innkeepers were wonderful,kind & of service. We thank you for helping with our luggage. The only change we would ask for is breakfast being 9 AM. Shell & Deb were very informative about Waynesville & activities. Every dining experience in town was delicious. Good ammenities. Breath taking at foot of mountain!

We had a 4 night stay at Oak Hill. Deb & Shale were delightful and they felt like family.

I called Shell & Deb about 4 days before we were due to head up to NC and they were able to find us a room despite the short notice. We arrived and were warmly greeted. The stay was fantastic and we would DEFINITELY stay there again. Thanks for everything!

We had such an amazing stay at Oak Hill this past weekend. Deb and Shell were wonderful hosts who provided us with such a perfect first bed & breakfast experience. From assisting with dinner reservations, to the sweet anniversary surprise we found when we returned in the evening, and the delicious breakfast on Sunday morning, we were truly spoiled for our anniversary weekend getaway. We stayed in the Clyde Ray Sr. Suite and were astounded by its comfort and amenities. We look forward to returning to Oak Hill as soon as we can! Thanks for a great weekend. -Tyler & Eric

This is a wonderful B&B. Deb and Shell are the best innkeepers, just delightful people. This inn will be placed on our favorites list to return.

We spent 4th of July weekend with Oak Hill innkeepers Deb and Shel and had a fantastic time. While my husband and I have stayed at Oak Hill before (Margaret Mary Room…great and romantic) this time we brought our teenage kids for their first B&B experience. Our 14 year old son didn't want to leave and our 12 year old daughter milked every luxury. We ziplined at Navitat, white water rafted at Nantahala Outdoor Center, and ate amazing food at Sweet Onion and Tipping Point. All the while, Deb and Shel catered to our every scheduling need. Their service at Oak Hill is bar none and the house is luxuriously, beautifully, and practically appointed…even for kids of all ages. They accommodated our boarding needs and we took over the Clyde Ray and adjoining Bess Ray suites on the ground floor. It could not have been a more perfect arrangement - privacy for everyone, 2 bathrooms with fun tubs, plenty of space, a common area for our stuff, across the hall from the butler pantry, and 1st floor so we didn't have to worry about them trampling over anyone's head - all for a VERY reasonable rate. And I haven't even mentioned Deb's cooking!!! I am writing this review as I am enjoying Amish Baked Oatmeal I made from Deb's recipe Deb. Every breakfast we've ever had there has been outstanding, huge and delicious. We couldn't even pick a favorite. Needless to say, we all want to go back as often as we can to enjoy the hospitality and accommodations, wonderful downtown Waynesville, and all the family activities we can stand….snow skiing is next!

Deb and Shell are great hosts and willing to go above and beyond regarding assisting guests with any requests and making them feel comfortable. The food is excellent as are the accomodations. We will return any time we are in the area.

We stayed here on Friday night before our race the next morning. Deb and Shell are always so welcoming and accomodating. We asked if we could have an early breakfast before the race. They graciously agreed and served us a beautiful breakfast of oatmeal, honey, nuts and fresh fruit with coffee and water...oh yeah...that was at 5am! We returned from the race, took our showers and came down to breakfast #2....even more wonderful than breakfast #1. We stayed upstairs in the Margaret Mary Room. What a beautiful and comfortable room. The beds are the most comfortable of any hotel I've ever stayed. I could have stayed several more days! If you are looking for a beautiful, comfortable place with delicious food and the kindest of hosts, then Oak Hill on Love Lane is the place to come.

My husband and I have traveled many places and make it our habit to research and stay and bed and breakfasts and/or small inns. Oak Hill is a beautiful home, decorated in the style of the day but offering all the comfortable ammenties as well. The personal style offered by Deb and Shell, down to lighting citronella candles to ward of bugs so we could enjoy the evening on the beautiful veranda, was gracious without being overbearing. They provided excellent choices for restaurants and shopping and will also take you to town and pick you up should you not want to walk (although certainly within walking distance) or bother with parking downtown. Should we ever be in Waynesville or nearby we would most definitely stay with them again. Debby and Wayne Griffin, Louisville, KY.

Deb and Shell were great! They really made us feel at home. Their home made gourmet breakfasts were delicious and the rooms were very comfortable and clean!

Deb and Shell are innkeepers extraordinaire!! Every detail is attended to cheerfully and with precision! We felt that we were honored guests in their home! Breakfast and snacks are DELICIOUS!!! The accomodations are spotlessly clean! The house, grounds and the rooms are beautifully restored to their original elegance, and yet they contain our modern conveniences! I've been to Oak Hill 3 times, and HIGHLY recommend it, as a truly outstanding B&B! Bonnie

our innkeepers (shell&deb)were outstanding.from the moment we arrived(shell took our luggage to our room),till the time we left they were extremely accomodating.the breakfast was excellent as was the room.one of the best b&b we've ever stayed at. jeff & linda

We were greeted with fresh baked cookes and belhop service by the owners. The room was very spacious and so many touches made it special. They even sprayed lavender on our very comfortable bed at night and gave us delicious chocolate (also had treats available throughout the house) on our pillows. The room was very quiet, we didn't hear any of the other guests. Perfect location, a quick walk to downtown. The breakfast was amazing. Started with a sweet fruit dish, followed by a delicious egg bake, and then a muffin for the road. Always had treats (both sweet or salty choices) available and a fresh baked item. They were also very knowledgeable and helpful about what to see and do around the area. Absolutely perfect stay!

I would definitely stay here again. Deb and Shell provided a welcoming yet private environment where one can relax and reflect. The breakfasts were delicious, nutritious and considerate of individual guests' needs and preferences. My husband and I particularly appreciated the "third course", which was a home made muffin or brownie or apple (if one preferred), in a to- go bag. We relied on this snack daily in the afternoon, while we traversed the NC hills. Deb and Shell offered assistance with our trip's needs before and during our visit. Overall, both of them were efficient, gracious, and responsive, with a great attention to detail.

My sister and I live on opposite sides of the country and have an annual sisters only getaway. This year we stayed at Oak Hill on Love Lane and visited Waynesville and Cherokee. Oak Hill was outstanding. Our room was spotless and beautifully decorated. The Innkeepers, Deb and Shell made us feel special and right at home. Shell even drove us two nights in a row to our dinner destination! The three course breakfasts were absolutely delicious, as were the homemade brownies, macaroons and cinnamon crumb muffins that Deb baked and packed in to-go bags for us each day. This was bar-none the nicest B&B we two sisters have ever stayed in and made for the best sisters getaway ever! We will definitely be back, next time with our husbands.

Food was outstanding and not at all your average food or options. Short walking distance to Waynesville downtown for great restaurants and shopping. Shell and Deb make a great team and are wonderful hosts, with lots of information about the local area and attractions. the rooms are as wonderful as they look on the website. Well done and thank you for a great weekend.

I have stayed at a lot of B&B's. This is BY FAR the best one I've ever stayed at. Everything was perfect. The house is beautiful, it is decorated superbly (no "fru-fru" like is frequently found at B&B's) There is gorgeous artwork on the walls by local artists, the bed was the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in. The sheets and towels were super soft, breakfast was delicious and hearty, the evening dessert was amazing, there is a small fridge and "snack cupboard" open for guests all the time, the location is excellent, very close walk to town. The innkeepers were so friendly and helpful. Also very accomodating - it was no problem to have breakfast ready an hour earlier than normal so we could get a head start on our 13 hour drive home. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Stay there, you will not regret it!!! I wish we could have stayed for a week instead of just one night. If we lived closer we'd take a weekend trip to Waynesville just to stay at this place. Unfortunately we live 800 miles away so that probably won't happen. I am amazed at how great this place is!!!

We made the reservation after seeing the pictures on the website, and we were not disappointed: we had a wonderful time at the Oak Hill on Love Lane! The house and the garden are lovely. Our room was decorated with taste, very clean and the bed was so comfortable, we slept like babies. We stayed only one night, and nevertheless were welcomed so warmly. Deb & Shell are great hosts! In the morning, we shared a very nice breakfast with the other guests, and even got a small bag with two muffins for the way back home! We absolutely recommend this B&B!

I made reservations at Oak Hill on Love Lane for the end of my husband and I's road trip. I wasn't sure what to expect because I've never really thought of myself as a B&B person (we are both in our early 30s and introverted types). But let me just say that Deb and Shel are amazing innkeepers!! I'm a clean freak, and even I could feel comfortable in my spotless room--Deb cleaned it twice a day. There was also the three-course breakfasts (AMAZING!!), freshly baked sweets in the afternoon, lavender sprayed on our pillows during the nightly bed turn-down (chocolates and ice water left on our bed stand), and superior concierge service as Deb and Shel continually went above and beyond our expectations. Shel even loaned us an ice chest so we could have lunch on our hike! Don't look any further. STAY HERE.

What a fabulous stay we had! Shell and Deb made us feel like family, and their dedication to their guests is the best I have ever encountered at any hotel or bed and breakfast! A delightful few days with great friends and family! Can't wait to return in the fall! Mark and Charlotte Harrison

We were fortunately referred to Oak Hill by good friends in Waynesville, NC. We were on a road trip and staying in a number of generic roadside hotels so staying at Oak Hill was a real treat. Deb and Shell, the Oak Hill owners, are long time hospitality people. They brought experience, knowledge, attention to detail and their warm personalities to make our Oak Hill experience very satisfying.

Just returned from a 2nd visit at this beautiful home. I just love this place! Just when I thought the service, food, conversation, peace, quiet, comfort...(as you can see I could go on and on), couldn't possibly get any better, it did. How can you improve on perfection? I'm not sure but Deb and Shell definitely get it right. Having stayed a number of B&Bs I would suggest all owners visit this place to really learn how to treat their guests. You must visit if you want to be treated like a king and queen, yet with personal and casual elegance. Thanks Deb and Shell. See you again soon. Ken and Annette

Shell and Deb - the owners and hosts - were kind, welcoming, accomodating...and just plain hospitable! The home was beautiful and spotless - the breakfast was delicious....and the daily treat/refreshments were an extra special touch for this on-the-go family! We loved our stay and hope to have an excuse to go back to Waynesville and stay with them again!!

I couldn't imagine a better place to spend some time for rest and relaxation. I received an outstanding room, information, food, and anything/everything I could have ever wanted. Best Stay ever!

I found Oak Hill while browsing for a place to take my wife for her birthday, and the discovery of Oak Hill was amazing. The food, service, hospitality, and accommodations far exceeded anything I could have expected. My wife and I are both in our late 60's and have traveled all over the US, and in England and France. I've never found another place like this. I highly recommend it to you. My wife and I look forward to staying there again. CW & SW

Fantastic stay, the inn keepers have a great attention to detail. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves and felt right at home. The breakfasts were dilectible. I will definitely stay again!

My wife and I spent two days/nights at this historic, beautiful home. We found Deb and Shell to be gracious hosts. They were helpful in every sense of the word. The breakfast was great! We had to leave early on our day of departure. We were sent off with a bags of goodies for breakfast. Thank you so much, Isenbergs for a very nice experience.

We used a bed and breakfast.com gift certificate that our friends gave us for our wedding and wow was it worth it. This B&B was the perfect getaway for us. The owners were very friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were beautiful. We were not only amazed by the quality and comfort of the room, but also the fact that it was such a deal price wise for what we were getting. In the morning, the owners cooked us a delicious 3 course breakfast. They also gave us plenty of recommendations for things to do in town, and made reservations for us at a regularly booked solid restaurant. The entire experience left us wanting to spend an additional night or two, and we would have if we did not have any commitments back home. If you're looking for a beautiful winter getaway (though I am sure it's lovely in the summer as well) this is the place to go.

Deb & Shell made us feel right at home during our two night stay. They gave us directions around the city and recommended local restaurants every night. They even provided menus ahead of time! We woke each morning to a three course gourmet breakfast that was absolutely delicious, and returned each night to a chocolate on our pillows. We are already planning an anniversary trip there for next year!

Our stay was very enjoyable! It was quiet and peaceful. Very much what we needed. The service, room, and breakfast were amazing!

We couldn't have asked for anything more from our stay at Oak Hill on Love Lane. It was just the relaxing experience we were hoping for. Shell set us up for a delicious dinner at Chef's Table, and afterwards we relaxed in our comfortable and cozy room eating divine cupcakes that Deb made and enjoying the warm fire. The breakfast was delicious, and they even sent us away with brownies for the road. Such a kind couple! We were so thankful for this getaway, and we definitely plan to come back.

At the beginning of November we again had the opportunity to visit Oak Hill on Love Lane for the sixth time! A great calmness descends on us as we drive up the driveway and walk through the door. Happily greeting us with open arms, Shell and Deb make us feel like we are finally home! Each time we visit it is fun to see all the little upgrades that have appeared since our last visit. New artwork, a new pillow here and there, fabulous new recipes to anticipate at the great relaxing breakfasts. Shell & Deb are constantly working to bring their level of hospitality well above anyone's expectations. Their love of the inn and each and every guest is so evident. You will never be disappointed with your accomodations - from the ever so comfortable and cozy beds to the great relaxation areas throughout the house. Wonderful places to visit with new friends or quiet places to renew yourself. We look forward to our next visit with great anticipation and expectation. Oak Hill is a true retreat and a blessing to visit. The Emrich's.

My husband and I stayed here and we loved it. It was the first time that we have stayed at a B&B so we didn't know if we would enjoy it or not. But then we met Deb & Shell and they were great! The inn is beautifully decorated AND it was immaculate. The food was great and if we are going to be in the Ashville area again we know where we will be staying.

Fellow husbands, this is for you to read. No doubt the person in your family who cares most about where you stay while you’re on vacation is your wife, right? And if the place where you’re staying doesn’t measure up, well, that vacation already has two strikes against it, right? That’s why it was music to my ears when my wife got her sister on the phone the first night of our recent stay at Oak Hill on Love Lane in Waynesville, N.C., and pronounced it “adorable.” I knew that this vacation was already a success. The hosts, Deb and Shell Isenberg, somehow manage to keep the required ingredients of a successful B&B in perfect balance, or at least they did during our stay: They are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Their menu is excellent – not to mention interactive. (They post the breakfast menu the day before. If you don’t like mushrooms, for example, you can tell them, and your individually prepared dish will be mushroom-free.) And their home is beautiful but also comfortable, historic but also bright and airy. (Husbands, don't be afraid of the "Love Lane" reference in the name. Yes, it sounds cheesy, but the street really is called Love Lane.) The Isenbergs seem to truly love being innkeepers and love living in Waynesville. You’ll love being their guests.

Deb and Shell make everything so restful! Enjoyed the weekend there to see the leaves changing. This is our 2nd visit and will be back again. Food is great with just the right touches. Clean and comfortable.

My wife and I had seen this Bed and Breakfast on the website and fell in love with it before we arrived. Although we had not made reservations, Shell and Deb were able to accomodate our request for lodging. We are so happy about that. It was our first stay in a Bed and Breakfst and it was absolutely wonderful. The rooms are all so well kept and bright and cheery. They have preserved all of the old house faithfully and with great care. Their hospitality is exceptional and the food was top notch. I slept great and could not wait to get to breakfast. Shell and Deb are two of the nicest people we have ever met. If you have the opportunity to stay here, take it. You will find yourself rewarded on a scale that is unsurpassed.

Oak Hill on Love Lane is a fabulous place to stay. The innkeepers are extremely helpful and curteous. They were able to direct us anywhere we wanted to visit or eat. Their recommendations were great. The home is beautifully decorated and allows for privacy. Breakfast is out of this world. We will definitely be visiting again!

Our group of friends reserved the entire house for a long weekend get-away in October. The house was so beautiful and comfortable that it was difficult to leave at the end of the trip! Deb and Shell, the innkeepers, made all of our dining arrangements with various excellent restaurants in the area. They arranged a wine tasting that was the most fun!! Also arranged was a Navitat zip-line canopy tour. (I am "chicken" when it comes to adventure in the treetops. But I must say, I had a BLAST!!) Our group loved the Waynesville area. We plan to come back next fall. Deb and Shell made our experience in the mountains fabulous. We heartily recommend Oak Hill on Love Lane!

Thanks so much! Our stay here was amazing! The beauty, the cleanliness, the decor, and most of all the incredible care and service. Would do it again and again.

The Oak Hill on Love Lane Bed and Breakfast is without a doubt, the best bed and breakfast I have stayed at. My wife and and I decided to come to Asheville, NC for our honeymoon and we chose Oak Hill based on budget and the reviews. It was raining when we arrived and Deb met us outside with an umbrella, we were pampered, attended to and given privacy all at the same time. The accommodations were impeccable, the service was flawless and the food... words cant describe. We look forward to coming back here as long as Deb and Shell are the Innkeepers, for many anniversaries to come. Thank you so much for a memorable honeymoon experience.

We have stayed in many B&B's over the years, and oak hill tops the list. Friendly helpful innkeepers, beautiful, luxurious rooms and each breakfast was better than the day before.

This was the first stay in a B&B for my wife and me. Deb and Shell were very gracious and accomodating hosts, the rooms are lovely, and the grounds are very well kept. It was a wonderful place to stay.

This was our first trip to Waynesville and first time staying in a B & B. We absolutely loved both. We had a rare weekend without our 2 yr old and loved staying in such a beautiful house. Deb and Shell are so sweet and accomodating, they think of everything. I expected just the usual breakfast "buffet" style food, but we had gourmet meals, and when we were too full for the 3rd course, Deb packed it up for us to eat later. Loved the Butler Pantry and all the fresh backed goodies. The bed was very comfy and the sheets/blankets were so soft! Spotlessly clean everywhere. Can't wait to get a babysitter and go back one weekend!

Shell and Deb, the innkeepers, have definately raised the bar on service and hospitality. Their B&B is perfection. We were going to be in town for a bike ride and by chance found out about this inn. What incredible luck. The house has been beautifully restored, the common rooms are elegant but inviting and the food it pure heaven. Shell and Deb went beyond the call by providing us the use of their kitchen for a pre-ride group dinnner, they adjusted to our crazy time constaints and made us all feel incredibly welcome. It could not have been a nicer weekend. So great that we have booked the whole house for next year's bike event.

This historic Bed & Breakfast is a must. If you are seeking a place where your soul can be restored this is it. The mountain view that greets you each morning as you sit on the porch is breath taking! A good night's rest?? Amazing! Quality mattresses and linens . . so comfortable I would have been content to spend the entire day in bed. If you like great art and great food, there is an artist in the kitchen and her creations are a delight to the eye and one's taste buds too! Yum . . yum There is something for everyone to do in downtown Waynesville. It is a quaint little town where if you like to shop your heart will be delighted. . where the hectic pace of life slows down and you are introduced to a style of life that use to be. They even have benches to along the streets beckoning you to "come and sit for awhile" .. my husband loved these!!! Oak Hill is a treasure that I am so thankful to have discovered!!

This was our first B&B experience. We were not exactly sure what to expect but we were blown away by the amount of service and attention to details that were put forth by the owners. From making a dinner reservation at the perfect restaurant or finding a nice plate of chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us in our room. The service couldn't have been better. A wonderful memory that we will treasure forever as the spot in which we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.

Our two days were great: 5-star service, a beautifully appointed and furnished old family home (yet with wi-fi!); the wrap-around porch was one of the most restful places I've been - with great view of spring-time in the mountains; convenient location for places we wanted to see in the area; breakfast far exceeded our expectations for a B&B.

My wife and I had the good fortune of spending a weekend at Oak Hill which was recommended to us as one of the finest B&Bs in the South. We frequently stay in Bed and Breakfast places and small country inns but nothing compares to Oak Hill on Love Lane: the inn is immaculately clean and in mint condition, the rooms are spacious, elegantly furnished, heavenly bedding and luxurious amenities one would find only in five star hotels. The ambiance, the public areas and porches assures the highest level of comfort. Most exceptional, however, is the hospitality extended by Debbie and Shell; their attention to detail is amazing, the anticipation of their guests' need and their caring demeanor made for a perfect stay. As if this is not enough, the breakfast is out of this world, skillfully prepared and simply delicious. We can't wait to come back.

My wife and myself stayed at the Oak Hill on Love Lane for a family wedding. I can't begin to tell how great the stay was. Shell and Deb are great hosts and make an outstanding breakfast. They attended to our smallest need and were very attentive. Having stayed at B&B throughout Europe, we felt this one to be one of the very best. We would highly recommend this B&B for anyone traveling in this area of Western NC.

We found this B&B online. The website was very accurate. The rooms were beautifully appointed, the food was picture perfect and delicious and the innkeepers were friendly and warm. From the moment we arrived, we were treated as very special guest. Deb and Shell went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. We will definitely share information about their place with family and friends and plan to return in the future.

My husband and I have stayed at Oak Hill on Love Lane three times and it is such an amazing B&B. The rooms are perfectly decorated and lovely, with soaps and lotions made locally especially for the B&B. The innkeepers, Deb and Shell, go out of their way to make sure that every need is met and are the nicest, most accommodating hosts. The breakfast is always gourmet and always delicious. We are already looking forward to our next stay there!

We stayed in the Clyde Ray Sr. Suite. Loved the sitting room with fireplace. The whole house was decorated exactly the way I would do it (if I had impeccable taste).

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of visting Oak Hill on Love Lane and I can honestly say that it was the most wonderful stay we have ever experienced - anywhere! The view is beautiful, the home is lovely, the decor is incredible, the rooms are inviting (and beyond comfortable), and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. But the best part of the visit was the service. Deb and Shell are the consummate hosts and went over the top in making us feel welcome and completely at home, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. From the moment we left, all we've been able to talk about is the anticipation of returning this summer for an even longer visit.

Just returned from a weekend stay at Oak Hill and what a wonderful weekend it was! The excellent service started from the moment I called to make a last minute reservation and then met at the door to help retrieve the bags. The beautifully decorated house and rooms were immaculate and the breakfasts were fantastic! Deb and Shell, the owners, have mastered the art of excellent service from again assisting with bags, making restaurant recommendations and reservations, providing afternoon treats and desserts and coffee after dinner. I could go on and on but rest assured you will not be disappointed. It's a shame I can't give them 10 stars in every category as it is well deserved. Deb and Shell thank you for a much needed restful weekend and I will definitely be back soon! Ken

Beautiful, clean inn. Gracious hosts and excellent breakfasts. However, it was quite drafty and cold! Would definitely go back, but in the warmer months!

Deb and Shell run a first rate B&B. The home itself was outstanding. All of the rooms were in excellent condition and very well docorated. Our hosts were extremely attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. I am afraid they may have spoiled me for other B&B trips. The No Kids, No Pets, No Smoking policy is something I really liked. Some examples of their hospitality... My girlfriend and I were playing Trivial Pursuit in the sitting room one evening and Shell brought us two freshly baked chocolate chip muffins from Deb...Deb said we had to try these right out of the oven. Shell got us directions whenever we mentioned destinations, as well as check on availbility for dinner at local restaurants. All in all, excellent hosts and an excellent home.

Very low-key weekend for us. Enjoyed the room with the fireplace. The bath was nicely updated and had some counter space which was very nice. The bath was updated nicely too. The innkeepers seemed to promote other businesses a little too much -- otherwise, they were very nice, helpful, and accommodating. Great recommendations for restaurants and always available to assist. Food was plentiful and excellent! Overall excellent stay.

The most impressive service we have ever received in an exquisitely decorated, spotless home. Convenient location matched with privacy and charm...truly a rare find. Deb and Shell were an immense help with our wedding preparations and so gracious and welcoming to our family. We will be back to celebrate with you every year!! Until then...

My stay at Oak Hill was by far an outstanding experience. Debbie and Shel are warm, kind, caring people who welcomed me into their lovely, clean home and made me so comfortable.

The home is lovely and the service is impeccable. The bed was luxurious-- pillow top mattress, 600+ threadcount sheets, toasty duvet-- all of these ensured an excellent night's sleep. I was there during an unusual cold snap and the room was so cozy-- the gas logs were easy to use and heated the room nicely. Deb and Shell provide exceptional service-- my car was always scraped free of frost when I left in the morning, they provided easy and clear directions along with maps and guides to local attractions, and were always warm and welcoming. The food was also great: fresh homemade cookies available every day, innovative and tasty breakfasts with a wide selection of morning teas, and they graciously accommodated dietary issues. Not enough good things can be said about Oak Hill on Love Lane and Deb and Shell-- I would recommend a visit to Waynesville JUST to stay here (although Waynesville and the surrrounding areas are really great,too).

The house was in immaculate condition. Sophisticated and cozy at the same time. The food was amazing. The owners were down to earth, very knowledgeable of the area and made us feel very at home. They definitely have making a warm, romantic environment down to a science.

We had a wonderful stay at Oak Hill! The accommodations were lovely, the beds perfect and breakfast a real treat. Deb and Shell were warm and welcoming and made our stay exceptional!

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. Lee & Denay Kelley

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!

From the moment we crossed the threshhold until we drove away, we were immersed in comfort and warmth. The hosts were fabulous and food yummy. Five stars!

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.

Oak Hill was undoubtable THE BEST B&B we have stayed at. From the moment we drove up Love Lane until our departure, it couldn't have been better. And the food.....OMG....words cannot describe. Just everything was first class. Deb & Shell are most hospitable and helpful...the BEST Innkeepers. It was our pleasure to stay with them. I highly recommend Oak Hill on Love Lane to anyone who wants to be at home away from home!!!!!

Shell and Debbie Isenberg are exceptional B&B owners. We would reccommend to others and plan to stay there again.

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.

I grew up in this home as it was in my family from 1899 to 1979. The house has been meticulously maintained & preserved; yet updated w/ all of the modern conveniences. The Isenbergs define gracious southern hospitality---in the bed & breakfast world these accommodations are indeed world class!!!

This is the most professionally managed B&B I have ever visited. It is beautifully finished and impeccible in every way.

My husband and I travel a lot, however, this was our first stay at a B&B. Deb and Shell were amazing innkeepers, and we immediately felt at home. the home was real and the mountain views surreal!

The Oak Hill B&B was a pleasure to stay at! Deb and Shell make sure that every request that is given or accommodation that is needed is fulfilled! 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. As seasoned B&B travelers (2 decades), we agree that Oak Hill is our #1 choice and we will return. From the owners to the food to the rooms, cleanliness & attention to detail; unsurpassed.

We just had the pleasure of staying at Oak Hill on Love Lane and meeting inn keepers Shell and Deb. Not only were they gracious and friendly, their home was esquisite!!! It was immaculate, gorgeous, comfy and the breakfast was delicious!!! My husband and I stay at alot of B&B's and we would definately rate this one as superior in every way! We will visit Deb and Shell over and over!!!! Thank you so much! hugs, Ralph and Annamarie

The interior decorations were beautiful,bed and other linens top of line. Furnishings inside and out in keeping with the history of the home. One of the nicest B&B's I've stayed in.

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!

This was me and my husband's first time at a bed and breakfast. The owners of Oak Hill were wonderful people who take pride in great hospitality. The location is quaint, clean and refreshing. Rooms are beautiful-exactly as shown in its website photos. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed. -Mr. and Mrs. Wingate

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

I loved every moment spent at Oak Hill. It's the greatest and most hospitable place I have ever had the chance to stay at! Everyone should go to Oak Hill!

It's a lovely home, very welcoming. The owners, Deb and Shell, treat you like a dear friend. I felt very pampered. The bed was so comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! I hope you treat yourself to a visit!

Wow! We absolutely loved this B&B. Wonderfully furnished, friendly, kind innkeepers, immaculate, all in a sleepy town close to everything, minutes to breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway.

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.

Oak Hill was the first Bed and Breakfast I have had the pleasure of staying at. I was so impressed with the service and sincerity of the innkeepers Deb and Shell.

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.

This was by far the best bed and breakfast we have ever stayed in! Shell and Deb were so attentive and personable. We truly felt we were in a "home away from home". So much so that we did not want to leave. Their attention to detail was impeccable. All of the rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious. The three course breakfasts were simply delicious. They were very accommodating with reservations and area activities. They left us with little to do but enjoy our restful vacation. Thank you Deb and Shell for a vacation of rest, relaxation, and fun. We will definitely return and suggest this B&B to all our friends and relatives.

I would highly recommend this lovely B&B to my friends traveling to NC and have started to give their website info to friends planning upcoming trips. most enjoyable!

Oak Hill is a beautiful, Victorian home with ALL the modern touches. Shell and Deb were the most fantastic hosts. We recommend this place and will surely go again!

From the outside Oak Hill is beautiful. In the inside it is even more so. Very elegantly and tastefully decorated. The rooms are spacious. Deb and Shell do everything to make you feel comfortable and welcome. The food is superb. The place is immaculate. Gorgeous views of the mountains and town of Waynesville. I can't wait to return!

My wife and I were fortunate to have chanced upon Oak Hill in a recent trip to Waynesville. Deb and Shell were absolutely the perfect host and helpful in every way. We will always know where we'll be staying when in this part of western North Carolina. Boy, I'm sure glad we found this gem of a B & B and no doubt we will will return! Royce and Annette Branan

I've had the opportunity to travel around the world and visit numerous luxury hotels, properties, and resorts. This is a real jewel in a quaint small southern mountain town. Deb and Shell are the complete hosts! They are very welcoming and display true southern hospitality. The Inn is a an old home restored and refined to reflect luxury accomodations. The rooms are large, well appointed with fireplaces, flat screen tv's, and local art. The breakfast is quite nice. You won't be disappointed.

Our weekend stay at Oak Hill was fabulous. The accommodations were first rate, the food was delicious and the hospitality was over the top!

We arrived at Oak Hill for a short getaway. The spectacular pictures on their website do not do this Bed and Breakfast justice! The entire property was absolutely breathtaking. Deb and Shell were splendid down to every detail. They were very warm and made us feel just like part of their family. There are a variety of good dining choices nearby. Waynesville offers a unique collection of shops and is only a short drive to Asheville. Deb and Shell were able to give us directions to anywhere we wanted to go as well as suggestions on what to do when we got there. It was the most relaxing and amazing vacation we've had. We are counting down the days until we return to Oak Hill - we never wanted to leave. Deb, Shell and the property are the BEST.

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.

Shell & Deb did everything they could to make us feel at home and we did ! We stayed an extra night. An excellent location, just a short walk to Waynesville's wonderful main street. The decor of the Inn is just perfect.

Shel and Deb are the complete hosts. We spent three wonderful days over the Valentines Day weekend at Oak Hill. Every request was handled quickly and to our total satisfaction. Their attention to detail was oustanding. The food was delicious, the room was perfect, and the service was very attentive.

Everything was just wonderful. The rooms were well appointed, inn-keepers were very friendly and the breakfasts were delicious

The innkeepers went out their way to make our stay enjoyable. The food was excellent, and the free drinks and snacks were a welcomed bonus, we've not had at other B&Bs in the past. The downtown and surrounding areas, offer a good variety of things to see and do.

We had never stayed in a B&B before, so I was wary of booking somewhere that did not look like the pictures on the web. I was attracted to Oak Hill online because their website was so easy to use and the pictures of the rooms looked perfect. When we arrived we were so in awe of the house and grounds - no yucky floral patterns and weird smells at this place! We were there only one day but we were treated very well and would definately return!

My husband and I stayed at Oak Hill for our 10th wedding anniversary. It was a perfect getaway. Quiet and sunny rooms. Lovely decor. Excellent service. Very clean. Great location close to town and a great view of the mountains and town. The innkeepers are delightful people who went out of their way to be helpful and kind to us. We will definitely be staying there again when we need some time to relax.

The house was absolutley beautiful! My wife and I loved our room. Deb and Shell were wonderful hosts. They gave us five star hospitality. Their location overlooking the town with the view of the mountains is very nice. We look forward to future stays.

far exceeded our expectations. Shell and Deb were incredibly accommodating and personable. We enjoyed our experience and hearing stories of dining and travel.

VERY accommodating and personal service. Perfection in our room and needs for a wonderful visit. most outstanding B&B we've visited. Food delicious and hosts superb!

wonderful B&B- great service

It was a beautiful and relaxing stay. The innkeepers were very accommodating and shared a lot of information about the inn. It felt like home.
