For an elopement or destination wedding, a romantic rendezvous for two, or a comfortable and charming base camp for exploring the mountains of North Carolina, The Yellow House on Plott Creek Road makes for an ideal stay. This AAA Three Diamond property in Waynesville sits on 5 mountain acres where two ponds, a waterfall and walking paths invite exploration and quiet moments.

Ten tasteful rooms—seven in the main lodge, three in the Pond House—offer varying amenities from spa tubs and private balconies to pet-friendly rooms and private entrances. A three-course breakfast and a pair of innkeepers keen on making your stay memorable give guests more reasons to return.

AAA Inspector Notes: “Room sizes vary, ranging from cozy bedrooms with a queen bed and vintage-tiled bathroom, to a two-room suite with a private veranda and a jack-and-jill bathroom. The Carriage House is a premium room, offering a king bed, private balcony overlooking a pond, and expansive bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower.”
