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 ![TV, fireplace, DVD player, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34580000/34578700/34578667/da554342.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wonderful views, wrap around deck, 4 bedrooms, May Discount Waynesville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 70 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=34578667&PinnedHotelID=34578667&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27520000/27510300/27510271/2d7d0397.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW LISTING, Beautiful Mountain views, Minutes to downtown, New construction Waynesville - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 167 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-15&endDate=2025-11-16&selected=27510271&PinnedHotelID=27510271&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95850000/95848400/95848381/c82c48c7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1920s Cottage- Walk to Downtown Waynesville and Hazelwood Village.

The owners were very communicative and the house was extremely clean/well-maintained. The front porch views are hard to beat and we had a great long weekend stay! We were able to get in a few hikes throughout the weekend as the house is in good proximity to portions of the Smoky Mountain National Park and the Cataloochee Valley. ##### Laura M.

The Roost was at a great location, being close to downtown and also situated in a location were there were so many great views. It had everything we needed for ourselves and our parents.

Susan made the process easy and was very responsive to communication. When we arrived to the property it was exactly as described in the listing. We spent 7 nights at the property and we were extremely comfortable. The views are amazing from the front porch and the porch swing was my favorite place to be all week. We had plenty of space for 4 adults, 2 children and a toddler. We arrived the day after Christmas and the decorations were still up so we were able to enjoy the holidays a little longer.

The views were even more beautiful than pictured and the porch was just a wonderful place to pass the time, eat meals, swing, and relax. The home was lovely and clean. The kitchen was well stocked, even had a cake stand for the birthday cake I made for my mom while we were staying there. We were able to enjoy smores over the portable fire pit and our kids were delighted playing croquet in the side yard. Downtown Waynesville is only a few minutes drive away and it is just charming, we even got to attend a craft fair during our stay and came home with some fun pottery. There were some very yummy restaurants downtown too, all of which were found in the welcome book at the Roost. The hosts were so easy to communicate with and wonderful to work with. I would recommend this home to anyone, we loved our stay here and would very happily stay here during any return visits! ##### Seth N.

Boy, was I wrong. This property is the most beautiful inside and out of any of the VRBO’s we’ve stayed in (12 at last count). Totally blown away by the view from the front porch. Had to make myself come inside when it got dark. That view far surpassed any in the park. Thanks for sharing your home with us. I will go back to Texas a more humble person. No more bragging for me, we’ll maybe for a little while…. ##### Catherine B. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lauren w.

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.

It was home away from home. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/37020f1b-9366-4441-90a4-683426e2e54a-1745872866504.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Wendy C.

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.

The house was immaculately clean with so many thoughtful touches plus it was decorated for Christmas in such a fun and lovely way, it added so much magic to our trip! The views from the front porch are also stunning. The house had everything we needed and we felt so comfortable there. Absolutely perfect! Thank you so much Susan and Keith! We hope to visit again! ##### Jessica P.
