    Like a grand old Duchess on a throne, The Yellow House sits on top of the hill, looking out across the misty Blue Ridge Mountains, across a pastoral kingdom of cows in the meadow and frogs in the lily pond. The Inn is located in the country at a 3,000 feet elevation just outside of Waynesville, 25 miles from Asheville, 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and 20 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
    The S'conset Suite is light and airy, located on the first floor of the Main House, is reminiscent of a summer day with its dark wood and white wicker furnishings. The focal point is the large stone fireplace surrounded by a comfortable sitting area with upholstered loveseat and chair.
    The Savannah Suite, located in the Pond House, is a king bedded suite with separate sitting room, fireplace, two person jetted-tub and private balcony looking out over ponds and gardens.
    Carriage House is located on the first floor of the Main House, this luxurious suite of English Country design is a guest favorite! Original brick, rich wood, dark green walls, high ceilings and a penisular fireplace set the tone for romance. As you relax in the jetted-tub for two, reflect on the view from your window....tranquil pond, forest of trees and misty mountains in the distance. The large private balcony is a perfect place to have breakfast in a beautiful, natural setting. Wet bar with refrigerator, four-poster King bed and private bath with tub and shower. $265
    The St.Paul Suite is located in the Main House at garden level, this spacious and most secluded retreat affords views of the lower pond, towering trees and mountains from its private patio. Sun-baked ceramic tile floors, fireplace trimmed with decorative tiles, lace curtains and a low, wood-beamed ceiling give this suite a decidedly French cottage feel. The two-sided fireplace may be enjoyed from the jetted-tub and king bed on one side or from the comfortable sitting area on the other side. Wet bar with refrigerator, TV/DVD with cable, King bed and private bath with shower.
    Estaing Suite ~ Memories of the rural village of E'staing, France, inspired this two-room suite. The bedroom's four poster queen bed, dresser, shutters and stone fireplace bring memories of a quaint French village. The sitting room with its wet bar, games, comfortable furnishings and fireplace make this a great place to spend a lazy afternoon. Both rooms open to a private balcony that offers a wonderful pine-framed view of the mountains and town. At night the twinkling town lights framed by pine shadows make this one of the most romantic spots found anywhere - a delight for the senses.

    May 05, 2013

    After having stayed in many B&Bs all over the country for many years, The Yellow House stands out among the best. We have stayed in two different suites and have loved both. Shawn is the perfect host and the breakfasts and snacks are wonderful. We also like the location, very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Waynesville. We travel to this area often and look forward to staying at the Yellow House again very soon.

    An Idyllic "Escape"!

    April 24, 2013

    My husband and I had a delightful respite from demands of daily life, work, etc. in our 3 day stay at The Yellow House! We absolutely loved the beautiful and tranquil scenery of the surrounding area and our room accommodations!! We stayed in the Benitatxell Suite at the Pond House and so enjoyed the wonderful views of the two ponds, upper and lower. Being served a delicious breakfast at our little table in our suite with its grand view of such lovely and tranquil scenery was quite a memory-maker! Great service by all the staff was an added plus.

The filigreed, burnished gold firescreen, white Battenburg bedding and small federalist antique desk hint of Carolina's southern elegance.

    My wife and I have stayed at The Yellow House several times and have always had a great experience. We always leave wanting to return for another stay. This time we were celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary. Room was great, service excellent, staff was very friendly and helpful, and food was very good. Looking forward to returning for a stay soon.

    I love staying at the Yellow House. Waynesville is one of my getaways from it all and this B&B offers the comfortable, quiet rooms and very yummy breakfast. The staff bends over backwards to help you. Highly recommend it, but please leave me a room.

    Another great visit!

    February 24, 2013

    We returned to The Yellow House this month and had another wonderful visit. We brought friends this time who enjoyed it as much as we do. We took advantage of the DVD player and picked out a great movie from the many choices. Loved our cheese and cracker tray, tasty tea and yummy cookies. Our room was so cozy and warm with the fireplace going. Breakfast was delicious, and we were fascinated watching all the birds outside while we ate. Shawn is the perfect host, and we can't wait to come for another stay!!
