About this property

Our family's mountain getaway is located 4000 feet up Big Haw Mountain in Avery County, NC. We look forward to your family enjoying it too!! Located within a half an hour of Beech Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, Sugar Mountain, Roan Mountain and Linville Falls, this beautiful two-story round house has plenty of room for the whole family (easily sleeps 10) to relax and enjoy a peaceful mountain retreat. You can enjoy exploring in the woods, the stream, foraging for fruits and berries (we have grapes, apples, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, peaches) or just sitting on the upper or lower decks that surround the 1,950 sq ft house to listen to the stream and watch the birds. If you venture out to the surrounding areas to explore, there are many beautiful parks, great restaurants, a lovely library, and anything you could need for your stay within minutes down the mountain.
A master bedroom upstairs boasts a rustic, custom log queen bed, tv, and beautiful master bathroom with luxurious double shower and Jacuzzi tub. There are three twin beds in the other sleeping area upstairs, as well as fold out memory foam mattresses for guests who would rather snuggle down elsewhere. (or little ones who would rather be near Mom and Dad). The downstairs is appointed with Chinese Oak floors, custom rustic dining room table, coffee table and bench, leather couch and oversized recliner, large tv, and a large kitchen to prepare your gourmet vacation meals!
We are still working on more amenities, but for now, it is a perfectly wonderful get away. Please contact us if you have any questions about our home away from home.

SNOW GLOBE

Everything was great! Our extended family had fun hiking in the snow, sledding down the woods, and hanging out! The hosts were the best ever and thoughtful in their amenities and care to our safety in the snow! It was our 3rd trip to the round house and should not be our last!!!

Enjoyable summer stay

Our family of seven thoroughly enjoyed staying at the round house in July. Comfortable beds, a large walk in pantry, large kitchen, and spacious porches. Although the house does not have AC, the elevation is almost 4000 ft, so it was very cool sleeping at night. There are 3 overhead fans upstairs and one in the living room, plus some box fans. With windows open, the house did not get very warm inside. There were basic kitchen staples, coffee, tea available and owners just asked that we replace something that we finished. That was really appreciated. The road to the house is paved and not very winding. We were in NC to attend the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games and it only took us about 20 mins to get there. As said by other reviewers, the owners are quick to response to questions. We would not hesitate to recommend the round house to others and would stay again.

Beautifully unique

Property is secluded surrounded with trees and streams, beautiful home with plenty of room. Everything we needed was there, water pressure was very good, double head shower upstairs was amazing, we mostly enjoyed the porches and scenery. Would definitely stay here again.

Winter Getaway

Lots of Space & Nature

This house and property is just as advertised. The house is big and spacious. The kitchen is large and great for prepping meals and serving food. Lots of lounging and sitting spaces indoors and out. The porch is a great place to experience all the amazing sights and sounds of the natural mountain ambience. From the little chipmunks and squirrels to the various birds singing and the fireflies at night, you'll enjoy yourself. At night, the breeze and total quiet makes watching the stars more enjoyable. The only two complaints are: The downstairs bed-It was high and not very comfortable. The wi-fi was practically unusable for anything other than checking email. I highly recommend renting this house. They have a large grill, firepit and many other amenities and furnishings to make your vacation successful.

Wonderful house in a beautiful location

This is the fourth time we have stayed at this property and it is always a great experience. Twice we have stayed while our church Youth group was at summer camp nearby and twice we have stayed so we could enjoy the numerous hiking trails in Linville Gorge, Grandfather's Mountain, and other various areas. And then there are all the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks that come up on the porch at the house to take advantage of the bird feeders. They are a delight to watch.

Nice round house surrounded by nature

A great vacation destination. The house is large enough for kids and adults to have some space. Kitchen full of all items you will need for cooking. There are a bird feeders that attract all local birds plus adorable chipmunk and squirrels. It is close to almost everything: Blue Ridge parkway, several waterfalls, white water rafting, multiple hiking trails and grocery store.

Perfect Mountain Hideaway

My husband and I just spent a week at the round house with our 6 kiddos. The location is perfect in that it’s secluded and private, yet close to so many fun activities. We walked in to a clean and cozy home and found everything we needed such as towels, linens, and a fully equipped kitchen. The fire pit outside was a popular spot for us, as we roasted marshmallows and made s’mores every night. The kids waited in eager anticipation each evening for the fireflies to appear, and never tired of spotting chipmunks and feeding the birds. Laura was excellent in communication and answering any questions that we had. We were delighted to find that Roan Mountain was close by and managed to visit there twice during our stay. We also visited Grandfather Mountain, Linville Caverns and Elk River Falls, Linville Falls Winery, and spent a day enjoying all that the town of Banner Elk has to offer. We enjoyed returning to the peace and quiet of the round house each day. This home is perfect for families and we cannot recommend it enough. We made lasting memories during our stay that we will always cherish. If you’re sitting on the fence and unsure if this is the place for you, we are 100% sure that you will love it as much as we did.

Cute round house

The check in process was easy but I did have to contact the property manager the night before our arrival for the check in information. They did apologize for not sending it sooner and was quick to send the access information the morning of our arrival. The house is in a quiet location but does not have a view of anything but tree tops. The house is clean but light switches are a little confusing as to what turns on what. The house has plenty of space and the manager requires minimal housekeeping items prior to check out. Overall, this is a very nice place that I would recommend to others.

Exactly as described with a few little touches put together by the family such as hand drawn just in case basket with some soaps etc in case you left them. Beautiful view and still close enough to town to not be inconvenient if you forgot anything.

Great family house

My husband and I stayed here with 7 of our children, ages 2 to 21. The house was just right for us, nothing fancy around for little kids to break. Very clean, well stocked kitchen. No towels or bedding needed, which is nice when traveling so far with many people. Younger kids were very happy with the foam mattresses and they allowed us to put kids wherever we needed them. We made very good use of the soaking tub. The area is great for those who love being outside, with scenic views everywhere and plenty of hiking for those who love it. Owners were very responsive and we didn't need anything during our stay.

Home away from home

The round house lies in a quiet and beautiful site Surrounded by nature. The house is very comfortable and spacious. Big kitchen with plenty of space. Beds are super confortable. Many beautiful details makes you feel at home. You might spot on occasion beautiful deer, and a variety of beautiful birds that will visit the house every morning. My family and i enjoyed coming back every day to the round house from our adventures, and appreciated having a beautiful place to rest and also enjoy. .. And if the weather holds you in, you have 3 TVs and plenty of board games... I highly recommend this nice and happy House. We had no problem accessing the house with our car, although the access road was a bit steep.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Laura Boronski

Hello! We are a family of 10 (our oldest wasn't with us for this picture) who love spending time up in the mountains. After years of looking and many rentals all over NC, we finally found our own place. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property has everything we were looking for: Seclusion without being too far from adventures, a stream running through the property, wooded areas, flowers, places to grow things, and a peaceful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

What makes this property unique

Our property is the best of both mountain worlds. We are at 4,000 feet, but have a large beautiful yard to play in and explore without falling down the side of a mountain.
