The 1898 Waverly Inn

Step into the 1898 Waverly Inn, Hendersonville's oldest surviving inn, welcoming travelers since the days of trains, stagecoaches, boardwalk sidewalks, and oil-lit street corners. Rich in history yet never behind the times — the inn had electricity by 1903 and telephone service by 1904 — the Waverly pairs the timeless ambiance of the past with the comforts guests expect today. Rock away an afternoon on the southern-style porch, walk to downtown Hendersonville's restaurants, breweries, and shops, and wake each morning to a freshly made breakfast featuring daily specials like strawberries-and-cream French toast bake and caramel apple Belgian waffles. Whole-house rental is available for groups, weddings, and gatherings. Located in the heart of downtown Hendersonville and just nineteen miles south of Asheville and the Biltmore Estate, the 1898 Waverly Inn is a Western North Carolina classic.
