If you love B&B's this is a great find. It's in downtown hendersonville allowing you to walk to so many shops and restaurants in the area. It is safe. You are right next door to a fire department. We loved the charm of the house. The rooms are well equipped and we loved the variety in the rooms. Although we didn't utilize the massage services we talked to a guest who did and she said it was wonderful. We are considering that option for a future stay. All the staff were so helpful, friendly and just lovely hosts. The cocktail hour on the porch was great and the made to order breakfast was wonderful. The waverly Inn was everything we could have hoped for in a B&B and more.

From the photos on Expedia we were excited for our stay at the Inn. Upon our arrival, there was no parking where we had been instructed to park and only street parking was available. Check in was fine. When we walked into our room we discovered it not to be as pictured on Expedia. It wasn’t even the same bed as pictured and we really should have questioned why the bathroom photo only showed the top of the shower door. The street noise coming into the room was very loud. I sat down on the bed to see if it was at least comfortable and it too creaked loud enough to wake the dead. For a light sleeper this was never going to work. I looked around the room, compared it to the picture on line and realized that we were fooled by a very enhanced photo. We knew we were not going to be comfortable enough to stay in this room, even if we did sleep a little there was no way I’d use the shower. We notified them we were leaving. They did offer us two other rooms that looked more like what we had seen on line. Still being upset by the deception we decided to move on. We did request a refund based on the deception even though their site says “no refund” we thought they might do the right thing knowing the room does not look like the photo they gave to Expedia but unfortunately they did not. I have no idea how they have achieved an “Excellent” rating.

My adult daughter and I truly enjoyed our stay. Everyone was welcoming and informative. We felt right at home in all of the available social areas. The front porch is huge and everyone out there enjoyed happy hour. The happy hour was generous with drinks and snacks. Breakfast was well-organized and delicious.

The inn was beautiful, our room couldn't have been more comfortable and the hospitality was amongst the best we've experienced anywhere! You also could not want a better location in downtown Hendersonville - quiet and away from the fray yet a quick walk to shops and restaurants. Can't recommend highly enough.

I gave it a good review because the staff was so nice and the place is clean and cute however our bedroom I think it was called Spring room, was not very functional. There was nowhere to sit but on the bed and on one hard old wooden chair. Couldn't get the TV to work said no signal, no matter what we did and there really wasn't many surfaces to put stuff on. The bed was okay but the pillows weren't comfortable so didn't have a very good sleep and at 6:00 something in the morning, a road crew was out front and it sounded like they were going to drive through the room so it wasn't a very relaxing experience. The breakfast was just okay even though I could tell they really put their heart into it. Very nice people. I personally wouldn't stay there again, but I think others would enjoy it...maybe in a better room.

Relaxing stay

They are lovely friendly people. Breakfast was delicious.... even have a menu where you can choose specific options... all top quality! The large home has a library full of books, puzzles, etc. to entertain. It is decorated with nostalgic furniture, art, and antiques. Plenty of parking. Close to multiple restaurants. I love the cool and shady front porch with rockers and porch swing. It's great for reading! Free drinks and appetizers at 5 pm were a great addition! My only complaint was the loud construction nearby until 1 a.m. The inn had no control over this, but it was extremely aggravating.

The property is charming and walking distance from downtown. Staff was friendly and helpful. The problem was that we were on a fairly busy street and traffic noise and sirens were a problem on a few nights. In addition, the blinds don’t close properly so morning light comes in. Fortunately, I brought an eye mask, so that helped. Finally, one has to step up/down about 8 inches to get into and out of the bathroom in our room (Birdfoot Violet). This could be a serious hazard to anyone with even minimal mobility issues. Be aware of cancellation policy. We booked four nights, but had to return home one day early due to a maintenance problem at home, so we lost that last night as they would not refund.

This inn was charming and conveniently located. But its main draw is the incredible generosity extended to guests. Lovely wine and hors d’oeuvres on the porch. But you could sit on the upstairs porch. Or the sitting upstairs or downstairs. Super helpful checkin information.
And then a breakfast you cannot beat, served with kindness and attention.
I can’t remember being so well treated. Many thanks.

Charming and comfortable

Exploring trip with friend. Great location & service. The reason for 1 star deduction was for 2 things…doors are noisy (expected in old house) & clawfoot tub wasn’t easy to shower in. Having said that, let me sing Heathers praises. From restaurant recommendations to tip on touring Bullington gardens she provided us with good stops. This was my second time staying here & I enjoy the front porch wine/snacks & the made to order breakfast included in room price. I would request a remodeled room next time! If you like B&B’s you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful big historic home with lots of character. Proximity to downtown Hendersonville was a couple minute walk. The building itself seemed a little on the run down side and it's not due to just the age of the house. Lots of chipped paint, run down carpet and the handy man work done to this old home seem to be done on the cheap. I wouldn't not recommend it, but for the cost I expected better.

Great B&B

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Waverly. The location is perfect and the staff are all super friendly. This was our first time staying at a B&B and we are SOLD courtesy of this experience! We will be back!
A few tips for someone like me:
*Make sure you explore the house! They have so many pictures and books to peruse through. It was all very interesting.
*enjoy the rockers on the front porch. They are nice especially when it rains, and are great for meeting new people and having wonderful conversations during the social hour.
*if your knees are an issue, they have stairs of course, but they also have raised bathrooms in the upstairs rooms that I saw. The step up for these is a bit steep.So just be aware or try to get a entry level room.
*get the yogurt parfait at breakfast! It was delicious! The granola was especially good.

We couldn't have scripted a more pleasant stay! From the lovely breakfast to the evening social time, we enjoyed every bit. Tracy, who could not have been more friendly, and the other fun-loving guests that week really made it special. We especially like the location, which is easy walking distance to the downtown restaurant scene. We would definitely recommend the Waverly Inn to friends and family, and we plan to be back!

Very nice B & B. It does show the wear in places of being built in 1898. Staff was extremely friendly and courteous. The breakfast was delicicious. Only problem is 1898 Waverly Inn is located next to main road and the window and wall insulation did little to dampen the road noise which became an issue when sleeping.

This was our second stay at the Waverly and we will go back again if we go back to Hendersonville. This inn is run very well by the innkeepers. We enjoy visiting with other guests during the social hour on the front porch in the rocking chairs.

Great couples weekend away

The B&B was very charming. And the staff and owners were very friendly, and accommodating. Also the B&B was very centrally located to downtown Hendersonville to walk to shops and restaurants.

The owner took time to talk with us about the history of this home and plans to continue to grow it’s welcoming atmosphere into the future. That is what makes it so much fun to stay at a lovely B&B…front porch conversations.

While we checked in at almost 9 pm (we did call ahead) the clerk said we had missed social hour but that “if we REALLY wanted our complimentary drinks he would get us some” he was obviously encouraging us to say no. We felt awkward & said it was fine. Bed was really uncomfortable and the light from the hallway made the room lit and not dark enough for sleeping. The grits were mushy, wet & overcoooked. One slice of bread = toast. For the cost of a luxury place it was more like a 2 1/2 star hotel. They aren’t interested in caring for their patrons, just taking their money without providing advertised goods/services.

The Inn was beautiful- very festive during the holiday and the social hour was just what we needed after a long drive. The only think we would have wished for was having the town stores open a little later - nothing was open after 6, but that doesn't have anything to do with the Inn.

The staff were wonderful, really enjoy what they do you can tell. Breakfast was made to order and hot. There's a happy hour with adult beverages and cheese plate. The house was decorated for Christmas beautifully. They're in the process of updating bathrooms. The room was very warm for winter. Our door swelled and was hard to open humidity.

Location was perfect for wandering around downtown. Plenty of shops, restaurants, and museums nearby. I realize it is prime leaf season and prices are up, but price per value was not there. Have stayed in many B&Bs and found this to be an average stay with a very above average price.

Overall we liked our stay at Waverly Inn. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Location was good to walk to local stores and restaurants. Breakfast was also plentiful with good choice. Inside was a little disappointing as property looked very tired and needed refreshing. Also rooms lacked the historic charm and feel expected. However beds were great and had a good night sleep.

I wanted to like this, but...

We stayed in the Mountain Magnolia Suite and it needs work. The wallpaper was pealing in spots and the metal bar that held up the shower curtain in the claw foot tub was bent and that caused the shower curtain to sag and kept clinging to you. I did peek into some other rooms that were not rented (they left them open) and the bathrooms looked like they had been remodeled, so maybe they are doing this as money allows, I just wish our bathroom was re-done.

They did have a social hour from 5-6 p.m. where they offered two free drinks and meat, cheese and crackers. You could enjoy them on the front porch, 2nd floor porch or in one of the lounge rooms inside. You could visit with other guests or there was enough room to keep to yourself. The porches were nice, but the street in front was busy and there was a fair amount of traffic noise. Plus there was a fire station nearby and there seemed to be one or two fire calls with sirens each day.

The location was close to downtown and made a number of restaurants and shops in walkable distance. Breakfast was good and made to order based on the order form you turned in the day before.

Great stay!

Thanks for a great stay! The following things stood out:
1. Walking distance to Main Street shops and restaurants
2. The social hour! Can’t get this at a hotel!
3. Owners were friendly and there to help with any questions
4. Delicious made to order breakfast

We were very aware before be booked the stay that the house is on the Main Street so noise from the traffic was expected. We also realize it is an old house but it was still very comfortable well maintained. We love staying at bed and breakfasts for the personal interaction and the “at home” feeling.

Staying at a Bed and Breakfast has always been a bucket list goal. 1898 Waverly Inn is a very charming property with exceptional property managers and staff. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and like family. During our stay we were even lucky enough to witness a wedding on the front lawn.

The breakfast each day exceeded our expectations and was something to look forward to. Hors d'oeuvresand a beverage on the porch in the evening was a phenomenal social event and allowed the charm of the town and Inn to shine. I cannot recommend booking a room at this Inn enough.

Charming Hendersonville Inn

Very stately, well-preserved historic Inn. The staff members were all EXTREMELY helpful and friendly. The check-in was more thorough than with a regular hotel -- they took my breakfast order and asked what time I wanted to dine in the morning, they provided a parking pass (although there is free parking right outside), they provided a map of Main St. with all the restaurants and shops, gave wifi and other instructions. Drinks are on the front porch in the early evening. The breakfast was a highlight; everything I ordered was delightful. Two areas of improvement would be - quieter window AC and firmer/newer mattress.

We had a relaxed one night stay and foremost are the innkeepers. So welcoming. Our room was most acceptable though we couldn't get the AC cool enough. The breakfast was great as was the welcoming Happy Hour of wine/beer and cheese and crackers. It's was an easy walk downtown.

Love this place!

I had a great stay, in a king sized room. Happy hour included nice wine and a cheese plate on the rocker-porch, in the cool of the evening- just what I needed to revive after a long drive. Be sure to get a massage from Linda - she is terrific! Breakfast was a dream. If I had three thumbs, they would all be up!
