My husband and I went during the week after Christmas, and the house was beautifully decorated. The innkeepers could not have been nicer. We arrived just in time for an evening glass of wine and a selection of cheese and crackers. There was also chocolate chip cookies and cake too. We stayed in the Silverbell Tree room - the room was lovely and the king bed was incredibly comfortable. The bathroom had an adorable clawfoot tub which was all set up for a bubble bath. The breakfast was delicious - classic bacon, eggs, sausage, grits and toast or specials list pancakes or waffles. There was also hot or cold cereal. Endless juices and coffee was also included. The entire staff was so nice and helpful, whether it was in the dining room during breakfast or answering questions about the area. I look forward to my next stay at 1898 Waverly Inn.

We purchased the trip to the 1898 Waverly Inn on Living Social and it was an awesome purchase. We will be back. The Inn is beautiful, warm and inviting. The location is perfect with the historical downtown area and lots of great restaurants in walking distance. Breakfast was wonderful and the early evening social hour a delight. We enjoyed our tour of Carl Sandburg's home and Christmas at the Biltmore. I'd recommend the Inn to everyone we know. We were truly made to feel at home.

On a recent trip to Hendersonville, NC my daughter and I stayed at the Waverly Inn. We had a very enjoyable time. The innkeepers spent time with us while we worked on puzzles that were set out. Breakfast was fantastic. I especially liked the fact that we could choose what we wanted to eat and sit where we wanted. I would stay there again.
