We drove from Tennessee and met our daughter, who came from Winston Salem. We enjoyed hikes at Craggy Pinnacle, Black Balsam Knob, DuPont Recreational Area and North Carolina Arboretum and would recommend them all! The Folkmoot Festival at Waynesville was a highlight as well. We grilled burgers on our first evening and enjoyed dinner at Haywood Commons on our second. The White House is an older home that has undergone beautiful kitchen and bath renovations. The county road is a bit busy and a bit loud when trying to enjoy a meal or reading on the front porch, but the location was very central for all our excursions, and Mary is a great host! She provided communication and support throughout our stay!
