Perfect stay!

Wr just had a wonderful one-night stay the 1898 Waverly Inn and look forward to coming back. 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.

The room was exceptionally clean -- no dust even in high places. Comfortable lodging. The closet was ridiculously small however. Breakfasts were very good. And every member of the staff we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the afternoon wine and cheese. Located very close to shops and restaurants downtown.

Our stay at 1898 Waverly was lovely. The hosts are wonderful, the porch happy hour reception was wonderful and the breakfast was delicious. Our beds were very comfortable. Definitely keep in mind that this is an old boarding house with all the creaks and quirks of an old house. The decor was a bit outdated, but still charming and we had a very comfortable stay. It is within walking distance of plenty of shops and restaurants. We would stay here again.

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.
