About this property
Your perfect Get-Away with lovely mountain views! "5 Star" Property!
It's always a great time to be in the mountains! Our mountain home has the views, the comfort and 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 beautiful fireplace 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 new family room on the lower level has a 58" TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu+ Live TV and the "Harry Potter" bed under the stairs. If you want to sit back and enjoy a good read, we have books in the 'Loft Library", You can also 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.
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).

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.
Round Mountain is a remote mountain community with gravel roads perfect for hiking and exploring, a pond near the mailbox / entrance, and access to plenty of open space and unfiltered nature . When we don't have guests, we enjoy our mountain home; it doesn't feel like a "rental", but rather like our beloved nature retreat.
It's readily apparent that we love and cherish our mountain home. Personal touches abound. Adults appreciate the comfort and amenities; children love our tire swing, the cave in the back yard, and the ample toys and games we have available for rainy afternoons. We also have a large library at the cabin, including guidebooks, novels, and children's books.

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!
Our outside spaces are as wonderful as the inside. We have a screened porch off of the kitchen / main floor with porch swing and other ample seating, and a downstairs dining deck boasting a table that seats 8, a bar for four, and our gas grill and mini-frig. Adjacent to the downstairs deck is our new stone patio with chiminea and four Adirondack chairs. This space faces south; it's lovely for stargazing.
Before entering the house, you're welcomed by a lovely summertime rock garden and a southern view of the Blue Ridge..

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 guests. 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. The master has a king bed; the upstairs bedroom, a queen. So make yourselves at home and spread out!
Our interior spaces are large and numerous. In the basement, you'll find a game room with foosball table, plenty of games and toys in the closet, and an assortment of Julie's homemade quilts, many with a bear motif, that adorn the walls. Our large t.v. is also on the lower level, allowing some guests to enjoy Netflix, Apple TV, or Hulu while others converse in the upstairs living room.
Guests often compliment us on the bounty of kitchen utensils, cookware, and every tool you will need to prepare a meal. We also leave basic ingredients in the pantry for your use (flour, spices, oils, other basics). We think it's silly that so many rental properties skimp on such essentials. The kitchen also has a Keurig coffee maker as well as a regular coffee maker.
A large brick fireplace dominates the main living area, serving as a visual divider between the living room / dining room and the kitchen. The main floor also hosts the king bedroom, the den with trundle beds, a full bath with tub, and the screened porch. The upstairs holds the queen bedroom, bunk room (with two sets of bunk beds) and a bathroom with shower. The lower level has a laundry room, large tv room with two couches, recliner, and the "Harry Potter bed under the Stairs." This floor also has our game room with foosball table. Access to the dining deck is also on this floor.
