Business Description: The Herren House has earned a Three Diamond AAA rating and shows a strong revenue picture. Business grossed $158,000 in 2007 (Only opened 10.25 months and two nights a week for dinner!) with $71,000 in room sales and $82,000 in restaurant sales. The restaurant is open two nights a week for dinner and offers private party reservations. The Herren House is considered one of the finest restaurants in the area with a fantastic opportunity to add additional lunch, brunch and dinner guests since there are very few nice restaurants in the area. Currently with six guest rooms, two on the main level and four on the 2nd floor, the Herren House has more than adequate space to add on extra guest rooms on its almost ½ acre lot.

Additional Business Opportunities:

• Expanded Restaurant Hours: Currently offering dinner seating two nights a week and private party reservations, the Herren House is in the perfect location to entice downtown Waynesville visitors to come and enjoy lunch, brunch, Sat. night and weekday dinner hours. With expanded dining hours to five days a week of lunch and dinner, and the addition of wine sales, current revenues of $80,000 could increase to $240,000.+ in restaurant sales.

• Private Special Event: The Herren House, with its beautiful gardens and wrap around front porch, is the ideal location to host a special event for your club or organization, family gathering or wedding reception, or your company’s annual event. Not only would you increase your food and beverage revenues, but a facility fee of $250-1500, depending on the functions, could also be charged, as well as increased guest room revenue.

• Catering: With an increase of activity in Haywood County and Waynesville due to increased tourism and area population, catering to group events and activities in the area would be a possibility considering there are very few quality caterers available.

• Expanded Guest Rooms: The property’s .42 acres has many options to create additional guest rooms or cottages.

More About the Inn: The B&B sits on .42 acres and has beautiful upper and lower garden area. The Herren House is in pristine condition inside and out, having been recently painted.
