Red Leaf River Inn

Red Leaf River Inn The Red Leaf River Inn is a family run, five room bed and breakfast tucked away in the WNC Mountains All rooms have king sized beds and en suite bathrooms.

The Red Leaf River Inn is a small bed and breakfast located just outside the town limits of Waynesville, NC. The Inn sits on five acres in a small valley and the grounds include two streams and a pond as well as ample space for walking. In spite of our country location, we are conveniently located less than 5 minutes from the US-74, thirty minutes from Asheville, NC and less than three hours from

Charlotte, NC, Spartanburg, SC, and Pigeon Forge, TN. We have a maximum occupancy of just 14 people, so you are always guaranteed lots of privacy and quiet. We have three rooms, each sleeping up to 2 people, in the main Inn, one ground floor suite that sleeps up to four, and a freestanding cottage with a full kitchen and yard that sleeps up to four. Our two upstairs rooms have private balconies and the suite has a private entrance. We are child friendly (we have two boys of our own aged 9 and 12) although only the suite and the cottage allows more than two occupants, including infants. The cottage is also pet friendly. There are no animals or smoking allowed inside the main Inn. The Inn is owned by Victor Johnston, who runs it with his sons, Alex and Nikolas. We purchased the 5 acre property in December of 2013. The Inn itself was built in 1935 and possesses a rich, local history. Several exchanges of ownership and a two year abandonment had left the Inn is sad shape, though, and we spent all of 2014 and 2015 renovating, cleaning, and rebuilding before finally opening our doors in the summer of 2016. Thank you for visiting the page of the Red Leaf River Inn. We can't wait to see you here in the beautiful mountains of Waynesville, North Carolina.

"Stayed here well over 12 times in the past 3 years--absolutely worth booking! We love it here!

My husband and I have stayed with at Red Leaf River Inn so many times that we've lost count, and each visit is an incredible experience! Cozy rooms, a beautiful property to enjoy, excellent made-to-order breakfasts--all supplied by a fantastic host, Victor, who excels in hospitality and service!

If you're considering adding an evening dinner at the inn to your stay, do it!!! Victor is a phenomenal chef and has a wonderful Italian menu that is sure to be better than any restaurant you can find around!

I promise, you won't regret staying here. We always leave relaxed, refreshed, really full of yummy food, and ready to plan our next trip back!"
