About this property

Secluded Mountain Cabin on 8 acres with Tree House Style Views. Pet Friendly.

Thanks for checking The Round House out! The Round House offers the convenience of location paired with the experience of a secluded tree house-like mountain retreat. The 1,600 sq. ft. dodecagon cabin and the 8 acre wooded property it's located on is yours to enjoy during your stay. The cabin includes all of the modern amenities you could ask for other than a dishwasher, but don't let that hold you back from that one-of-a-kind mountain experience! Plus, you can bring your dogs with you!

THE CABIN

Upon arrival, you pull into a towering canopy of oak and maple trees and onto a winding driveway. Follow the "To House" sign over the wooden bridge and up to the cabin which is perched overlooking the property. At the top there is parking for two vehicles. As you enter the home, it transports you decades into the past, and it's in that moment that you realize you've made the right decision to stay in some place special...

You've traded in new and cookie-cutter resorts for a unique experience, perfect for a couple getaway or a group of friends.

The upper level has two bedrooms, full bathroom, kitchen (with modern appliances), a cozy living room with wood-burning fireplace, and our favorite area of the cabin – the wraparound deck – which is equipped with Adirondack chairs and unspoiled views of the wooded wildlife sanctuary. You are encouraged to refill the bird feeder to catch glimpses of several birds species, our local family of blue jays and even white squirrels, stopping by for a snack in the morning and afternoon.

Head to lower level using the staircase located off the kitchen (use the rail!). At the foot of the stairs you're now in the "Secret Place". Formerly Grandpa Ralph's workshop, the work bench has been converted into a laptop bar. The noise of hammers and saws is now replaced with silence making for the perfect spot to relax in the rocker with a good book.

As you make your way further you'll find largest bedroom, The Sleepy Hollow Suite. It offers guests the largest bedroom on the property, featuring a queen-size bed, sitting area with a sleeper-sofa, and private half bath, along with access to the laundry room containing a full-sized washer and dryer. The wood stove that once heated the area is now permanently retired for safety reasons. As you exit the French doors you'll be greeted by a porch swing, picnic area, and fresh mountain air.

Throughout the home, you will notice unique accents and stonework, all of which were designed and built by Grandpa Ralph. Stone steps, hand laid by him, lead you back up to rear entrance.

THE GROUNDS

The Round House is located on the north side of Mount Hebron. The mountain is historically significant in that an early road builder, Solomon Jones (1802-1899), raised his family and created one of the first tourist attractions in the area -- an observation tower -- atop Mount Hebron. He surrounded the tower with fruit trees and a vineyard to provide refreshment for his guests. One visitor to the Solomon’s pleasure aerie was George Vanderbilt who, from that vantage point, first beheld Mount Pisgah. Vanderbilt found the great mountain irresistible and purchased more than 100,000 acres along its wooded slopes and built the famed Biltmore.

During your stay at The Round House you (and dogs) can explore the mountain side via the two walking trails (keep a lookout for the red and yellow arrows). The Red Trail begins near the back of the cabin and ends near the bottom of the driveway near the garden. The Yellow Trail begins near the entry of the property. It takes you across a small footbridge and ends at the large granite rocks where Willow Creek enters the property. For safety reasons we ask that you wear jeans or other pants while exploring and please keep children away from the locked green maintenance shed and the root cellar which is no longer usable.

Before the end of your stay, be sure to leave us a message in the "Be Happy" journal. We'd love to hear from you!

Words alone can not describe
We came up from the Dallas Texas area to spend some time with our two sons that live in the area of this Great Cabin. Most the time when you use a regular hotel for vacation you have to spend like all your time away from the hotel in order to enjoy your vacation, staying in this Great Cabin we never had to leave the cabin at all. In fact from the time we arrived till it was time to go our vehicle never moved an inch. This Great Cabin is the vacation, just add people. The views are priceless, the sounds of nature are like a relaxing concert of peace, the smells of the woods set your senses into a relaxed state. We loved our stay and hated leaving, that never happens staying in a hotel. Try a night or two and you will find all i say is true.

Very disappointed
No views, musky smell inside, the trails that were described, were a joke and dangerous, the tv reception was awful and very aggravating. Stairs leading down to washer and dryer are too steep for an elderly person. Will not be going back.

Great property, secluded
This was such a cute, cozy cabin. We had a great time and it was so nice to sit out on the porch. I feel like the owners did a great job making everything super cozy, especially by providing firewood for the fireplace. Would definitely recommend, it was great for my small group of friends.

Unique, cozy cabin
Loved our stay! The cabin is small and is nothing fancy but offers comfy beds and plenty of room for a family of 4 with two teens. Everyone had their own bedroom. Living space (living room/dining room/kitchen) is open offering plenty of room to gather. Bathrooms are very small, especially the shower but functional. Loved using the downstairs as a 'master suite.' Private, wooded setting close to all the outdoor adventures and downtown Hendersonville. Enjoyed the deck each morning and evening. Driveway is quite steep. Not a problem in the spring/summer months but could be tricky in the snow. We hope to return.

We love visiting the cabin when we can find a open weekend so if you have any suggestions to improve your experience let us know! Both of us enjoy travel and new experiences, having been all over the world. Life's too short. So, book the flight, buy the shoes, and eat the cake!
