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! ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - No elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city center - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Golf - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,457 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102610000/102600600/102600593/fd9f0384.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning Views & 5 Acres to Explore Bryson City - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&selected=102600593&PinnedHotelID=102600593&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, desk, iron/ironing board, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106820000/106814100/106814020/9d3bea8b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tranquil & Charming Hideaway ♛ King Suite, Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Covered Porch Waynesville - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&selected=106814020&PinnedHotelID=106814020&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, video games, table tennis](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106310000/106302200/106302164/82371b14.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hot Tub, Fiber-optic WiFi, Pool Table, Playground, EV charger.

We found the Roost just as pictured back in March, 2024, so we decided to return in March, 2025 (trip having been delayed due to Hurricane Helene recovery) with a sister and brother-in-law along to enjoy the Roost, Waynesville and the surrounding area. The Roost never disappoints. Owners Keith and Susan offer all the necessities of home plus more! They are also very knowledgeable of the area and always go the extra mile in researching questions for answers. The mountain views from the front porch rockers, swing and table cannot be beat any time of day! The Roost is a slice of heaven! ##### Mike S.

This property is beautifully appointed with a garden.filled with flowers and garden art. Sitting on the covered porch in rockers, coffee cups in our hands, and looking out on a lovely mountain view, we hardly wanted to leave the Roost. However, great restaurants, hikes, shopping and drives on the parkway lured us away. Do not use this property! You may not EVER want to leave! ##### Mary N.

They were gorgeous. Other plants and flowers all around. The porch has a swing and several comfy rockers and the most beautiful views of the Balsam mountains. The cottage was clean and well stocked. The split floor plan was an extra bonus as my husband and I brought along his 88yo father. He loved having his own bed and bath. Very happy place. Can’t wait to return. ##### Launa R.

Would not hesitate to stay here again. Very easy to get to, all sorts of shops and restaurants very close by, hostess is just awesome with offering all sorts of fun stuff to do. The Roost truly feels like a home. We stay in so many rental cabins in the mountains, and so many of them feel "incomplete" and missing many items to make a home feel like a home. Not so with The Roost. I truly feel I could host a holiday dinner here. Shower pressure was great, gas stove, icemaker with fresh ice upon arrival. I think the water is soft, too! Fantastic home! ##### Lysne C.

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. ##### JOSEPH L.

From the moment we drove up the driveway, we were in love with this property. Although the driveway was steep (in the opinion of this girl born in Florida) we got used to it pretty quickly and it was never an issue. The grounds are gorgeous with all the flowers in the garden blooming and the lush trees surrounding the property. Did I mention that view??!! We couldn't have enjoyed that porch more. We all got up earlier than normal for a vacation, just to have coffee and sit on that comfy porch and watch the day begin. The cool temps were amazing along with being entertained by the wildlife. The house was super clean and had everything we needed. Plenty large enough for all 6 of us! Would we return? You bet! Susan and Keith were the best hosts. Ya'll should go! ##### lauren w.

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. ##### Sandy S. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### jorge v.
