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!

    Magical place decorated beautifully for Christmas with a gorgeous view from the porch. Spotless and every need covered. It’s obvious a lot of time and effort has been put in to make it a special experience. Many ideas for places to eat or things to do given as well. Much appreciated!

    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.

    We came to NC for a wedding and to make wonderful memories. The Roost will make the top 5 list of great memories of the week. I can't list everything that was just perfect for our stay, I'd run out of room. The home was our dream for the week and Susan went over the top to be the best hostess we have ever experienced on our over 4 dozen VEBO rentals!We will be back!

    Meticulously maintained home with outstanding views. Owners have thought of everything needed to make stay comfortable and enjoyable. Home is spacious and has lots of natural light. Surrounding grounds are well maintained. Nice neighborhood and excellent location. Owners were easy to communicate with as needed. Will be returning next year!

    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!

    The property is beautiful, comfortable, clean and extremely welcoming. Fabulous mountain view from the porch. The host was fantastic in her communication, making sure we had all of the pertinent information, made sure everything was going well, and gave us recommendations of restaurants, etc. It could not have been a better experience. We had a wonderful time, and we will be back!

    The property was absolutely beautiful. We loved using the kitchen and cooking in some to enjoy the breathtaking view!! The yard was well maintained and beautiful flowers. We will definitely be renting again. It was home away from home.

    We love The Roost! 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!

    This was an absolutely fabulous stay! Everything was 10/10! Communication with Susan was great. 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!

    This is our second visit to Waynesville for Thanksgiving, and our first stay at The Roost. We really enjoyed our stay and our hosts were great to work with. The Roost is a very nice cottage and was a great place for us to stay. Everything about it was great and descriptions were very accurate. The Roost was already decorated for Christmas so that definitely helped put us in the holiday spirit. We’re already planning for next year and definitely plan to stay at The Roost again. My wife and I are also looking at possibilities of visiting in late spring or early fall as well. I highly recommend this property and the owners are a delight to work with.

    The Roost is the most charming cabin and offers the most spectacular views. The front porch is a fabulous place to begin your day overlooking the mountains and town of Waynesville. Our host was an absolute jewel and was very responsive and organized. I can't say enough. We had a wonderful stay.

    Having stayed at many nice mountain cottages, we were surprised at how The Roost stands out - both outside and throughout the quaint interior, which is decorated with whimsical chicken accessories and prints. Was not wasted on this older couple.
