What guests think
At 1898 Waverly Inn, guests consistently praise the warm, hands-on hosts, the convivial evening social hour on the porches, and a tasty, made to order breakfast, alongside a convenient downtown Hendersonville location within easy walking reach of shops and restaurants.
Rooms are generally comfortable but often small with historic quirks, and a few guests mention dated decor or minor maintenance wear. Street facing rooms can experience traffic noise and early morning activity, which some found disruptive. Expect a charming, social B&B stay with warm, personal hospitality.

My wife and I enjoyed another great visit to Hendersonville and the Waverly Inn. The downtown location is fantastic to take advantage of the main street attractions. The breakfast is amazing. The front porch is the place to be for a relaxing evening. We look forward to our next visit.

This was our second stay at the Waverly and we will go back again if we go back to Hendersonville. This inn is run very well by the innkeepers. We enjoy visiting with other guests during the social hour on the front porch in the rocking chairs.

My adult daughter and I truly enjoyed our stay. Everyone was welcoming and informative. We felt right at home in all of the available social areas. The front porch is huge and everyone out there enjoyed happy hour. The happy hour was generous with drinks and snacks. Breakfast was well-organized and delicious. Our room accommodations were not huge but plenty for the two of us. We will return!

Our stay at 1898 Waverly was lovely. The hosts are wonderful, the porch happy hour reception was wonderful and the breakfast was delicious. Our beds were very comfortable. Definitely keep in mind that this is an old boarding house with all the creaks and quirks of an old house. The decor was a bit outdated, but still charming and we had a very comfortable stay. It is within walking distance of plenty of shops and restaurants. We would stay here again.

They are lovely friendly people. Breakfast was delicious.... even have a menu where you can choose specific options... all top quality! The large home has a library full of books, puzzles, etc. to entertain. It is decorated with nostalgic furniture, art, and antiques. Plenty of parking. Close to multiple restaurants. I love the cool and shady front porch with rockers and porch swing. It's great for reading! Free drinks and appetizers at 5 pm were a great addition! My only complaint was the loud construction nearby until 1 a.m. The inn had no control over this, but it was extremely aggravating.

The property is charming and walking distance from downtown. Staff was friendly and helpful. The problem was that we were on a fairly busy street and traffic noise and sirens were a problem on a few nights. In addition, the blinds don’t close properly so morning light comes in. Fortunately, I brought an eye mask, so that helped. Finally, one has to step up/down about 8 inches to get into and out of the bathroom in our room (Birdfoot Violet). This could be a serious hazard to anyone with even minimal mobility issues. Be aware of cancellation policy. We booked four nights, but had to return home one day early due to a maintenance problem at home, so we lost that last night as they would not refund.

Beautiful big historic home with lots of character. Proximity to downtown Hendersonville was a couple minute walk. The building itself seemed a little on the run down side and it's not due to just the age of the house. Lots of chipped paint, run down carpet and the handy man work done to this old home seem to be done on the cheap. I wouldn't not recommend it, but for the cost I expected better.

Very nice B & B. It does show the wear in places of being built in 1898. Staff was extremely friendly and courteous. The breakfast was delicicious. Only problem is 1898 Waverly Inn is located next to main road and the window and wall insulation did little to dampen the road noise which became an issue when sleeping.

I gave it a good review because the staff was so nice and the place is clean and cute however our bedroom I think it was called Spring room, was not very functional. There was nowhere to sit but on the bed and on one hard old wooden chair. Couldn't get the TV to work said no signal, no matter what we did and there really wasn't many surfaces to put stuff on. The bed was okay but the pillows weren't comfortable so didn't have a very good sleep and at 6:00 something in the morning, a road crew was out front and it sounded like they were going to drive through the room so it wasn't a very relaxing experience. The breakfast was just okay even though I could tell they really put their heart into it. Very nice people. I personally wouldn't stay there again, but I think others would enjoy it...maybe in a better room.

The room was exceptionally clean -- no dust even in high places. Comfortable lodging. The closet was ridiculously small however. Breakfasts were very good. And every member of the staff we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the afternoon wine and cheese. Located very close to shops and restaurants downtown.

Exploring trip with friend. Great location & service. The reason for 1 star deduction was for 2 things…doors are noisy (expected in old house) & clawfoot tub wasn’t easy to shower in. Having said that, let me sing Heathers praises. From restaurant recommendations to tip on touring Bullington gardens she provided us with good stops. This was my second time staying here & I enjoy the front porch wine/snacks & the made to order breakfast included in room price. I would request a remodeled room next time! If you like B&B’s you won’t be disappointed.

Wr just had a wonderful one-night stay the 1898 Waverly Inn and look forward to coming back. The inn was beautiful, our room couldn't have been more comfortable and the hospitality was amongst the best we've experienced anywhere! You also could not want a better location in downtown Hendersonville - quiet and away from the fray yet a quick walk to shops and restaurants. Can't recommend highly enough.

The room was exceptionally clean -- no dust even in high places. Comfortable lodging. The closet was ridiculously small however. Breakfasts were very good. And every member of the staff we interacted with was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the afternoon wine and cheese. Located very close to shops and restaurants downtown.

My wife and I enjoyed another great visit to Hendersonville and the Waverly Inn. The downtown location is fantastic to take advantage of the main street attractions. The breakfast is amazing. The front porch is the place to be for a relaxing evening. We look forward to our next visit.

My adult daughter and I truly enjoyed our stay. Everyone was welcoming and informative. We felt right at home in all of the available social areas. The front porch is huge and everyone out there enjoyed happy hour. The happy hour was generous with drinks and snacks. Breakfast was well-organized and delicious. Our room accommodations were not huge but plenty for the two of us. We will return!

Our stay at the Waverly Inn was lovely. Breakfast was delicious and there were several choices on the menu. The employees at the inn were so welcoming and helpful that we felt right at home. It could not have been a better experience.

This inn was charming and conveniently located. But its main draw is the incredible generosity extended to guests. Lovely wine and hors d’oeuvres on the porch. But you could sit on the upstairs porch. Or the sitting upstairs or downstairs. Super helpful checkin information. And then a breakfast you cannot beat, served with kindness and attention. I can’t remember being so well treated. Many thanks.

They are lovely friendly people. Breakfast was delicious.... even have a menu where you can choose specific options... all top quality! The large home has a library full of books, puzzles, etc. to entertain. It is decorated with nostalgic furniture, art, and antiques. Plenty of parking. Close to multiple restaurants. I love the cool and shady front porch with rockers and porch swing. It's great for reading! Free drinks and appetizers at 5 pm were a great addition! My only complaint was the loud construction nearby until 1 a.m. The inn had no control over this, but it was extremely aggravating.

Nice and charming hotel from back in the days. Whats not to like about sitting on the front porch, in a rocking chair, with a beer or a glass off wine. The interior is ol’ school and again charming. The room was very nice and with AC. The breakfast room was nice and clean and breakfast was really good and so was the coffee. Hotel is just a short walk from downtown Hendersonville, with cosy shops, good dining and a cigarbar. It was a very nice visit and stay at 1898 Waverly Inn.
