Old Traditions, New Accommodations

History and modern culture meld at the Historic Frog Level neighborhood of Waynesville! This beautifully preserved railroad district boomed in the late 19th century, and is now home to a growing collection of galleries, shops and cafes, festivals, and even a brewery! But no matter how much life in Frog Level has changed since 1887, history lives everywhere you look.

There are many great places to stay nearby. The Swag is a luxurious bed and breakfast in Waynesville that everyone is talking about, even The Wall Street Journal. Or you can check out some of the authentic cabin rentals offered at Cataloochee Ranch, Boyd Mountain Cabins or Buffalo Creek Vacation Cabin Rentals. We get it if you’d rather just have a more traditional hotel stay, though. The Waynesville Inn Golf Resort & Spa and Best Western Smoky Mountain Inn are both good for that.
