General Information
Prospect Hill, originally known as the "Charles and Annie Quinlan House" is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  In 1866 Prospect Hill was the home of James Cassius Lowry Gudger, who had been an Officer in the Confederate Army, and subsequently of his daughter Annie Quinlan and her husband Charles Quinlan.  The house was constructed on the high point at the edge of the town which was originally known as Mount Prospect.  Today the house  has been fully restored.  Air conditioning and private bathrooms have been added to each of its bedrooms.  To learn more about the house, the Bed & Breakfast and our policies, please click here.

Guest Rooms
Situated in the Great Smoky Mountains and forests of Western North Carolina, Prospect Hill is one hundred year old Victorian Inn providing luxurious Bed & Breakfast accommodation in Waynesville, the Eastern entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains and the National Park.  Built over a hundred years ago on one acre of the high ground at the edge of town, Prospect Hill Inn has commanding views of the Smoky Mountains and forests in all directions.  At the same time it is just an easy walk from the old town center with its cafes, galleries, gift and antique shops, and a short drive from Biltmore estate, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Cherokee Casino. To see our five elegant Bedrooms, each with air conditioning, Cable TV, internet and private bathroom,  click here.

This Morning's Weather
Each morning (well . . . nearly every morning) I take a digital photograph of the smoky mountains from the porch or one of our bedroom windows and place it on this page of the website.  If you would like to see a photograph of the mountains, taken from our porch this morning, along with my comment on the weather in Western North Carolina today, click here.

Things to do & places to see
Waynesville is located at 2800 feet on a high plateau in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, high enough to be above the humidity which plagues the eastern seaboard most of the summertime, we enjoy warm sunny days and cool evenings. It's an ideal location for a Bed & Breakfast weekend. The town is surrounded by a dozen or more 6,000 foot mountains.  The Blue Ridge Parkway circles almost entirely around this county, and we're bound by the Smoky Mountain National Park on one side, and the Pisgah National Forest on the other.  Mount Mitchell, the highest point in the US east of the Mississippi is just ninety minutes from our front door.  We're about mid-way between the Biltmore House in Asheville and the Harrah's Casino in Cherokee and just a few minutes from Maggie Valley. On top of all that, its a really neat little town!    If you'd like to see a selection of things to do and places to see, click here.

Schedule of Local Events
Aside from the natural beauty of the area, Waynesville, and the nearby communities in North Carolina also offer many planned events to entertain and educate throughout the year, with Antique shows, Craft shows, International dance festivals, Antique car shows, and many others.  To see a schedule of these local events, click here.

Directions
Prospect Hill is very easy to find because we're right on Main Street just on the edge of town, however we've prepared  some directions depending on where you're coming from and you'll find them by clicking here.

We have made a couple of local tours, taking photographs along the way for you to see.  You can see our photo tour of the

Book Reviews
Many of our guests are book lovers, and like myself, enjoy a good book.   This section of the web site is an attempt to share our reading experiences and opinions about the books we have read. My most recent review is of  the book  The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo  by Stieg Larsson  ( A really good book) To see a listing of books reviewed (can't believe I've read all those books), click here

We will probably bark when you first come up on the porch,  lets face it, any self-respecting dog has to protect his territory.  However once you are signed in,  we're easy to get along with.
