Dog-Friendly, Sauna, Mountain Views, Appalachian Trail | House in Roan Mountain
3 Bedroom House in Roan Mountain
Wake up at 4,000 feet on Roan Mountain, with views you'll linger over with your coffee and a sauna waiting for you after some time in nature.
Rhododendron Retreat is a 3,000 sq ft mountain house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, sleeping 6 comfortably in beds — with room for 2 more on the provided air mattress or the daybed sofa in the basement. Inside, there are 2 living rooms, a large kitchen, a sunroom, and a walkout basement. Outside, a full acre of land bordered on the north side by 20-foot rhododendrons that screen the house year-round and bloom by the thousands in May.
Dogs welcome — up to 2, $50 per dog, per stay. House-trained only, off beds and furniture, crated if left alone (blankets, bowls, and crate provided), leashed outdoors. Full details in House Rules.
Spectrum WiFi is fast and reliable, and two bedrooms have dedicated desk setups, so remote work is easy. Because the home is in the mountains with plenty of trees near the power lines, brief outages can happen, but Mountain Electric is based right in Roan Mountain village and typically restores power quickly.
Right outside the door:
Cherokee National Forest starts a few hundred yards away. Cross the street to the Hackline Trail and hike three miles through dense forest to meet the Appalachian Trail at Carvers Gap — or drive the same three miles up to Carvers Gap and the Rhododendron Gardens, spectacular when the Catawba rhododendron peaks in mid-June. Two festivals throughout the summer.

We're just off State Hwy 143 — a well-maintained, easy drive with no gravel or steep switchbacks.
Hike the Roan Highlands in summer, chase waterfalls in fall, ski in winter — then come home to a comfortable, private house, a hot sauna, and a long view of the mountains.
Note- The house has four exterior security cameras, all covering entry points: the front door and sunroom walkway, the main entrance porch, the back porch off the living room, and the main basement entrance door. All four are exterior only. There are no cameras inside the house, and no audio recording on any of them.
I hope you come visit,
