About this property

An absolutely charming mountain cottage style home with one of the best views in Haywood County. A single level plan with an open living area highlighted by exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and skylights. A split floor plan with a large ensuite master suite on one side and 2 guests rooms and 2 bathrooms on the opposite side of the house gives everyone privacy.

You will have wonderful long-range views of the Balsams at an elevation of 3000’ yet you are only 1.5 miles from downtown Waynesville with all the shops, galleries and outstanding restaurants. Ingles & Walmart are less than 1.5 miles from the house.

All roads to the house are maintained by the city and the driveway and parking area at the house are paved as well. The Roost is the midpoint between Asheville and the Cherokee Indian Reservation and Harrah’s Casino - each about 30-45 minutes from THE ROOST so great for day trips with major highways easily accessible. Bryson City for white water rafting and tubing as well as riding the Great Smoky Mountain Railway are only 40 minutes from THE ROOST.

An incredibly well equipped kitchen including a gas stove, quartz counter tops and an abundance of dishes and cookware will make family mealtime easy. Games, cards, books, and DVDs are available to enjoy during your stay. There are flat screen HD TVs, Blue Ray players in the living room & master bedroom as well as an Apple TV box in the living room but we doubt you will need them with the covered porch and rockers at sunrise and sunset calling your name. The Wifi connection is strong and many have worked remotely from THE ROOST over our years of ownership.

Please note – pets and smoking are not permitted at The Roost. Thank you for honoring this request and our Grandchild with allergies especially thanks you!

Absolutely Amazing!

The Roost is an amazing, comfortable and clean home for a stay in Waynesville and surrounding areas! The home was available to us just as promised on VRBO. The hosts were quick to provide check-in information as well as very prompt in responding to any questions or concerns. A chirping fire alarm was quickly settled by the host! The layout of the home is perfect for privacy of guests; all facilities, appliances, TVs were new and easy to operate. The Roost's colorful decor provides a comfortable and homey feel. The large front porch facing the mountains was furnished with rockers and a porch swing for relaxing any time of day or night. We enjoy the Waynesville shops, restaurants, consignment establishments and other opportunities, and all were an easy 10-minute drive from our location. Rides on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Sunburst Valley never disappoint and are also easily accessible from the Roost. The Lyn Lowery cross can also be spotted from the property (a wonderful story to read about) at night. The hosts provide a wealth of helpful information on area highlights and restaurant offerings. We plan to return with family in the fall for another relaxing, fun stay at the Roost.

Great view!

Had a super fun time, and the cottage felt like home! Views are great and the house had all the things you would have at your own home. Great communication with the host and cleanliness was top notch. Would definitely go back with my family!

GREAT FOR SMALL FAMILY

Exceptionally clean. All on one floor, except entrance to front porch - no step out the back. Very nice view of the mountains from the large porch with a swing and rocking chairs, even a nice table for 8 or more. Toys and games for young and old. The drive up is a bit steep, but normally should be no problem. Not too private, but private enough. There was some highway noise.

Beautiful Mountain Memories

The Roost is a well-appointed, very attractive, conveniently laid out home surrounded by beautiful flowers and offering a wonderful view of the mountains covered with autumn leaves while we were there. We enjoyed taking short drives to downtown Waynesville as well as to grocery stores and restaurants. We also enjoyed drives on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Overall a wonderful visit!

About the host

Hosted by Susan & Keith

We live in Fayetteville, NC and hope to retire to the beautiful mountains of North Carolina in a few more years. We began our search for a vacation home near Asheville so we could start to learn more about the area and be close to family that lives in Asheville...especially the latest addition to our wonderful family... our 3rd granddaughter!

Why they chose this property

Initially, we were looking in the Asheville/Hendersonville area, wanting to be as close to our Asheville family as we could. We spotted THE ROOST on the internet & loved the cottage look and told our real estate agent if she would drive us over we'd buy her lunch since we were certain we would buy in the Asheville area :-) We wanted her to see the style house that really caught our attention. The 30 minute drive over from Asheville was easy, the lovely neighborhood so close to the center of town, and the amazing rock retaining walls leading up to the house were all wonderful. All it took however was for us to step on the porch and look at the view of the Balsam Range of the Smokey Mountains from 3000' to know this house was the perfect home for us- you just know when you get goose bumps it's something special! And we had not even stepped inside the house yet! Once inside, it was all over - we knew this was the one! Not surprising - our guests now say the same thing :-)

What makes this property unique

So close to downtown yet with killer views! We are so centrally located to enjoy Western North Carolina outdoor activities, festivals and tons of great restaurants. Waynesville is one of the best kept secrets around!
