We were super lucky to be present for our good friend David Childers induction into the North Carolina Music Hall Of Fame. David has made his music his life's work and has also inspired and mentored many other artists including The Avett Brothers who have covered more of his music than any other contemporary artist.

David has played our Waverly Live series often and many special events here at the inn over the last 8 years. We have another amazing special event featuring David in just a few weeks. The David Childers Takeover at the 1898 Waverly Inn.

Over three days, November 21-23, David will be playing three sets of music with Letters to Abigail, Cody Gentry, A. Lee Edwards, Dylan Walshe and David Niblock. We hope you can join us.

If you'd like to see David's acceptance speech and performance at the NC Music Hall of Fame, check the link below and if you'd like to join us in a few weeks, check the link in the comments! Thanks to Jack Poyner for capturing such great video.

We offer up our delectable homemade pimento cheese for breakfast (with eggs, insiders tip: even though it’s not on the menu, you can ask for with our stone ground grits too )and hospitality hour each and every day. The south has made pimento cheese our own but did you know pimento cheese originated in New York?

Though today celebrated as an icon of Southern home cooking, pimento cheese originates in the north, as a product of industrial food manufacturing and mass marketing. Here's how it arrived in your picnic basket.

Our 2025 Waverly Live porch series wrapped up with a tremendous show from Chris Smith aka Carolinabound. Even though the rain kept us off the front porch, we had a grand time with a very intimate performance in the dining room.

We carry on this fall with David Childers Takeover at the 1898 Waverly Inn. What a weekend this will be! Head to Hendersonville from November 21-23 for a weekend of music and community. Call us at 828.693.9193 to book your spot today or click here to book online.
