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.
