About this property

*** It's time get back outside! Our mountain home is sufficiently isolated, yet with great access to local attractions. Many hikes and waterfalls nearby. Great restaurants in Brevard.

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, home to twin trundle beds, 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 a "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.

Wonderful!

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-

New Year’s Trip-2022-23

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!

About the host

Hosted by David & Julie Rotholz

We purchased this house because we wanted to give our two children, ages 6 and 9 at the time of purchase, a 'mountain experience' and the opportunities to hike, enjoy nature, and explore all that the woods and the mountains have to offer. When we first looked at this home, we knew it had all the charm, comfort and access to the wonders of the mountains that we were looking for. Although we're less than a half hour to Brevard, we feel like we are truly far away from the demands and pressures of life.

Why they chose this property

This mountain home is truly unique. It has the space for families and views that provide a relaxing environment from the moment you enter. Each season has its special attractions. Please read our reviews: Our guests say it better than we ever could: Round Mountain Lodge is a terrific get-away. You'll love it!

What makes this property unique

The house is large enough to accommodate two families (or one large one). We limit rental parties to no more than eight. Since there is flexibility with beds and bedrooms, it's easy to accommodate individual needs and preferences. For example, adventurous "tweens" may want to sleep in the "Harry Potter bed under the stairs" in the basement; the Bunk Room holds 4; and the den, two in the trundle beds. So make yourselves at home and spread out!
Something else that makes Round Mountain Lodge special is the "Hillbilly porch." This dining deck, with a table for 8 and bar seating for 4, is a favorite, particularly at night with the little lights shimmering on the 'mountain chandelier.' A small refrigerator and a gas grill means you can relax while enjoying the outdoors!
