Your perfect Get-Away with lovely mountain views! \"5 Star\" Property!\n
About this house rental
*** It's time get back outside! Our mountain home is sufficiently isolated, yet with great access to local attractions. Many hikes and waterfalls nearby. King bedroom, queen bedroom, bunk room with two sets of bunkbeds, den with trundle. Basement has a "Harry Potter bed under the stairs" a favorite for kids. Round Mountain Lodge, a charming mountain home perched above Lake Jocassee on the edge of Gorges State Park, provides an amazing retreat from life's hectic pace. It is only 2 miles from 'The Wilds Camp and Conference Center' and Georges State Park, Frozen Creek access. A variety of waterfalls, restaurants, and local attractions are within easy driving distance. Set on the south side of Round Mountain between the quaint mountain towns of Brevard and Lake Toxaway, Round Mountain Lodge is not simply a house in the mountains, but a 'mountain home.' Transylvania County, where our home is located, is known for its waterfalls, hiking and state and national parks. The main living area has a cathedral ceiling and mountain views from a bank of south-facing windows. The fireplace (not the primary heat source) dominates the living area. Warm wood graces interior walls as do some amazing quilts by a local artist. The first floor bedroom holds a king sized bed; another large upstairs room boasts a comfy queen. All bedrooms have down comforters. The Bunk Room holds two sets of bunk beds, making Round Mountain Lodge the ideal lodging choice for two families who wish to vacation together. The den houses a trundle bed with two twins. Please note, however, our guest limit is 8. The house is furnished for fun and comfort. The den contains a 32 inch TV with streaming on Amazon, Netflix and Hulu+Live TV.. Peruse the books in the 'Loft Library' or venture onto the rock outcroppings below the porch to enjoy the scenery and sounds of nature. A game room in the basement has a new foosball table and more than 60 puzzles and games for kids of all ages. For movie viewing, we've recently completed a new family room on the lower level with 58" TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu+ Live TV and the "Harry Potter" bed under the stairs. Watch the fog roll up the mountains from the porch swing. Discover one of several waterfalls, hiking trails and parks a short drive from the Lodge. The "main road" and others on Round Mountain are lovely walks as well. Asheville is a short drive too. All ingredients for the perfect mountain retreat are found amidst the tranquility and mountain splendor of the Blue Ridge Escarpment. Brevard is a fabulous mountain town with craft breweries, two wonderful bakeries, ample great restaurants, art galleries, and the world's best toy store (in our humble opinion; OP Taylor's can't be beat for toy enthusiasts!) One of only 40 homes on the 1200 acres on Round Mountain, the Lodge boasts spacious rooms, comfortable and ample furnishings, and amenities that define it as a home rather than a 'rental unit'. This beautifully decorated home is amply supplied with accoutrements for the perfect mountain get-away. In any season, Round Mountain Lodge will call you back again and again. ** There are 2 "Ring" cameras on the exterior of our home (nowhere else). ** The VRBO "inserted" information on what we are close to is NOT accurate. We are 1 hour drive from Lake Jocassee not the 9/10 mile they list. Keywords: Mountain Home, Amazing Views, Wonderful Fireplace, Great for families

Round Mountain Lodge was perfect for our family Thanksgiving! A beautiful spacious cabin in a gorgeous location, and a VERY well stocked kitchen. We couldn't have asked for more. We particularly liked the outdoor fireplace, perfect for s'mores in the evening :).

We loved the place! It felt just like a home with everything you’d need for a large family. Only had to bring food and drink. Close to some amazing parks and waterfalls. Really felt like a home for a weekend! Much appreciate and thanks to the owners. -don’t forget your bug spray-

The cabin was exactly what we needed for an after-the-holiday family vacation. It was well-stocked and supplied with everything we needed. It was clean and cozy, with lots of space for our family. The location was perfect. The Christmas decorations and lights added a festive touch. The owners answered our questions promptly and were always available. We would definitely stay there again!

This peaceful, comfortable home is a thirty minute drive to the nearest grocery store. Unfortunately, I recommend a through video inspection prior to your stay due to unauthorized charges to my credit card for damages not caused by our party.

We enjoyed our stay at Round Mountain Lodge. The home is supplied with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of kitchen supplies, lots of extra linens, and games, toys and books for the whole family. It was so nice to relax on the porch with our coffee and just enjoy the view. The location is a little "out of the way", but not inconvenient.

This cabin was even more beautiful in person-- and so roomy! We had my whole family gathered for Thanksgiving-- all adults-- and there was room for everyone so no one felt crowded or on top of each other. Amazing views... big, stocked kitchen... cozy blankets and the fireplace was perfect. And the outdoor firepit on the rock was our favorite hangout. It is far from everything, so bring what you need so you don't have to travel down the mountain for anything. Brevard is also a quaint, wonderful little town. Thank you for the wonderful Thanksgiving memories!

listing and pictures do not do this place justice!
what an amazing place! the amenities alone were over and above anything we expected. the place was clean, and the booklet of the property was very helpful. this place is perfect for families, especially with the game room and tv downstairs. if you stay here, you must spend at least one evening sitting out on the rock-fire pit area and see all the stars! simply put, best place weve ever stayed! make sure to bring everything you think you would need as the place is pretty remote. and if you forgot it, they probably have it already!

A Perfect Family Vacation -- All 8 of us want to do a repeat
Eight family members of 3 generations gathered for a perfect vacation on Round Mountain. We found that the accommodations lived up to their description. Perfect mountain home, artistically decorated. Julie's quilts themselves provide a beautiful display and a wonderful ambience. Each room was a delight. We gathered on the screened porch, in the kitchen, living room, den, game room, downstairs TV room -- everywhere. The bedrooms were so attractive and beds were all so comfortable. Bunk bed room was a hit for 4 siblings. Kitchen was so well-stocked. Our 2 cooks who planned the food found it so convenient. Our activities: we hiked, jogged, played frisbee, played games, did yoga, read (everyone loved the chaise lounge on the screened porch), danced during a birthday celebration, used WiFi for laptops, and gathered on the giant rock for photos. The welcome book was so informative and entertaining to read. (Read it right away!) Learning the history of the house and location enhanced our appreciation. Loved the extensive book selection!!! Used the living room's waterfall books to find our perfect waterfall trip. We chose Triple Falls in DuPont State Recreational Forest. Didn't know until later that it was used as site in Hunger Games movies. Beautiful visit there. Even on a beautiful fall Sunday it was not jammed with visitors; spacious paths and unbelievable triple waterfall. So peaceful on Round Mountain. City kids remarked on how pleasant the quietness was. Perfect weather, but wouldn't care what the weather was up there. Could still have a wonderful time. We all want to go back. Thank you, David and Julie, for your thoughtfulness in accommodating our request to increase our visitor count as more people signed on for the fun!

Quite and peaceful. This cabin was bigger than expected. There was plenty of room for our family. My kids loved the play/game room down in the basement. The firepit was in a perfect location. I would definitely stay again.

We found some piece and quiet. The property was larger than expected. The owners are very organized and we loved the fact everything was labeled, just makes life easier. The porch is where we spent a lot of our evening family time, talking and enjoying the breathtaking sunset. It felt like a home away from home. If you’re looking for that mountain vacation home, this is it!
Ps- wonderful restaurant about 25 minutes away called Pantherville Restaurant. It was delicious and everyone was friendly.

Round Mountain Lodge was well stocked and very comfortable. In many rentals, the kitchen provisions are a "Mish-Mash" of stuff which get you through the week. At Round Mountain Lodge, the kitchen was fully stocked with all supplies to cook up meals each day (measuring cups, spoons, bowls, pans, serving bowls). It's about a 20 minute drive to Brevard and Pisgah, but not too bad to be out in the quiet Blue Ridge surroundings. We did some grilling and had a small bon-fire on the rock out back. Walked, Biked, and Ran on Round Mountain Road before our daily activities....We highly recommend Round Mountain Lodge.....Thanks for the Great Stay.

Wonderful, secluded getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Round Mountain Lodge. Excellent location and seclusion from the hustle and bustle. Our own little sanctuary away from everything. It was wonderful. House is well maintained, with plenty of options for adults and kids alike. We only turned the TV on one time because were occupied with climbing on the rocks outside, playing on the tire swing out front, or playing downstairs in the gameroom. We will definitely be back!
