About Round Hill Lodge
Perched high above Bryson City, Round Hill Lodge rewards guests with sweeping views of the Great Smoky Mountains from its signature wraparound porch - a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening stargazing. This mountain retreat stands out for its generous layout, making it ideal for family reunions and multi-family getaways.
The main living area features vaulted ceilings and large windows that frame the mountain scenery, while the fully-equipped kitchen handles group meals with ease, offering multiple prep areas and ample storage. Three separate gathering spaces let kids play games while adults socialize, preventing the cabin fever that can set in during longer stays.
A word of caution about access: the steep driveway requires careful navigation, especially in wet conditions or winter weather. We recommend arriving during daylight hours and bringing a vehicle with good ground clearance. First-time visitors should note that while the lodge is private, it's still just 15 minutes from downtown Bryson City's restaurants and shops.
The lodge's cleanliness has received mixed reviews, with some recent guests noting issues with pet hair on furniture and linens. It's worth discussing current cleaning protocols when booking, particularly for guests with allergies.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the location offers quick access to Deep Creek's hiking trails and tubing, plus you're within 30 minutes of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance. The property's elevation keeps things cooler in summer, though winter guests should check road conditions and come prepared for mountain weather.
Best to book well ahead for peak fall color season (October) and summer holidays when Bryson City lodges fill quickly.
