QUAINT MOUNTAIN COTTAGE-BREATH TAKING VIEWS-1.5 MILES TO DOWNTOWN WAYNESVILLE!


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!

This property was spectacular. A gorgeous view from the large front porch, and beautiful flower gardens. The house was decorated perfectly, and the kitchen was the best stocked with pots, pans, etc., of any VRBO we have stayed in. The owners were wonderful to work with. Would highly recommend this property.

We can't begin to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. You have created such a beautiful and special place. From the breathtaking front porch view of the magnificent mountains to the sweet wildflower bouquets in each bedroom, your hospitality and attention to detail shine through. This is our second time at The Roost, and we look forward to many more visits in this "home away from home."

We had an absolutely phenomenal stay at The Roost! The house is incredibly clean, cozy, well stocked, etc. etc. etc. The view is amazing - pictures do no justice to how beautiful it is. We spent hours just relaxing on the porch, enjoying the breeze. Super convenient to town but it feels like you are miles away once you get to the house. The host was fantastic as well - excellent communication, and I felt like they were actually happy we were there. We will definitely be back to this amazing property!

The view alone is worth the price! The house is comfortable and creatively themed. There is a bathroom for each bedroom. The kitchen has all the cookware for a stay at home vacation. However, the location offers amazing sights to see in the beautiful Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains. Hope to come back to this lovely house in Wayneville, NC.

Susan and Keith are great hosts. Their property is warm and inviting and perfect for a getaway. This was our second time staying at their property and it was a pleasure to stay there. The property is well maintained and very centrally located to shops, stores and restaurants. We’re planning on staying there again next year if they will have us.

This was the most special cottage and the most welcoming host. We loved everything about our stay here. The view is spectacular! It was such a convenient location as we enjoyed time in beautiful Waynesville and several other surrounding towns. We saw many beautiful mountain views but none any prettier than the one we enjoyed from the swing on the porch at THE ROOST! The host went out of her way to make sure our stay was perfect - complete with restaurant recommendations and local events and sites info. I highly recommend this gem for a mountain getaway!
