Whimsical Mountain Roundhouse Among the Trees

Less than 2 miles from Wolf Ridge ski lodge!
All the whimsy and excitement of a mountain treehouse with the comfort of a modern home. This “roundette” is perched nearly a mile above sea level, surrounded by towering spruce and fir trees, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Though it’s a quick 40 minute drive to the vibrant Asheville downtown, it truly feels like a private wilderness oasis.

4WD/AWD is recommended during winter months. Read more below.

The architecture of this house is truly unique, with curved walls and high, vaulted ceilings. Walls of windows welcome in lots of natural light, and envelop you in the natural beauty of the trees and mountains. The open floor plan includes a bright and clean full kitchen, a living space with smart television and fireplace, two bedrooms, one full bath, and one half bath. Outside, the wraparound porch is the ideal place for a morning coffee or evening beverage, and has a gas grill for cooking if you choose to do so. The home features a washer and dryer as well as an air-conditioning and heating system for year round comfort. Access to this unique home is via a set of stairs that lead to the front porch and door, which should be considered for those presenting with physical limitations. A security camera is set up to monitor the driveway to the entrance.

The cabin resides within the 5,000 acres of land that comprise Wolf Laurel Resort. As part of your stay, you will also receive access to the Village Club. Benefits include a heated seasonal outdoor pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, trout pond, children’s playground, yoga classes and more.

Miles of trails surround the home, with private access to the Appalachian Trail and Big Bald, which is the highest local summit at 5,516 feet, and where you’ll experience arguably the best 360° views around. The area is also rich with additional outdoor activities including skiing, swimming, horseback riding, zip lining, and rafting.

You will enjoy access to the entire home during your stay. For your convenience, the house is set up for contactless self check-in with keyless entry. A unique code will be generated for the length of your stay that will unlock the main door. Entry point to Wolf Laurel Resort is gated with a staffed attendant. Booked guests will check in with the attendant for access.

The primary roads in Wolf Laurel are paved, but the secondary roads are gravel. All roads are well maintained by the full time staff but remember these are mountain roads and mountain driving conditions. You will will need to take your time and navigate slowly. Most cars of all sizes can easily drive the roads in the no-winter months, but sports cars that have especially low clearance are not recommended. Also, motorcycles are not allowed in the community so please plan accordingly.

Winter:
We are thrilled to welcome guest year round but please be advised:
4WD/AWD is highly recommended during winter months. If you are not comfortable with possible winter driving conditions, travel insurance my be worth looking into. There are winter days in Wolf Laurel when I am comfortable driving a Honda Civic around, and there are days when the only thing I would want to be driving is a plow truck. Most days fall somewhere in-between.

In my opinion, winter in the mountains is best when not rushed so I recommend planning to arrive with plenty of food and supply's so that when the snow does start to fall you get to cozy up by the fireplace and enjoy your winter getaway!

Though the WIFI is strong, Wolf Laurel Resort has spotty cell service throughout the community. WIFI calling is available in the home and you may have regular cell service on the property but it is not guaranteed.

Roundhouse
My trip was canceled because of the hurricane. I’m still waiting on my refund from the trip insurance I got. I’m sure it would have been a wonderful trip if we had gone.

Wedding weekend stay
Me and my now wife stayed there for a few nights during our wedding weekend. Super convenient to both the village club and golf club as well as wolf provisions. Property was very clean and spacious enough for the 2 of us. Driveway could be difficult for some larger vechile or newbie mountain drivers. Overall great time!

The Quiet Place
Tranquility. Remote. Modern, simple, comfortable. Had a long relaxing weekend with family and friends in Mars. The beds were super comfortable. Bathrooms upgrades absolutely beautiful. Visited downtown and ate at The Stackhouse. If you go-the pimento cheese is a must.

The Best Getaway
We loved our stay here! It's quiet and relaxing out in the North Carolina mountains, and the best place to go for a weekend away if you find yourself too busy and stressed. My wife and I took our 6-month old here and there was plenty of space for him to play while we had some coffee in the morning and listened to the birds. Definitely pay a visit the nearby general store, Wolf Provisions. Friendly hosts answered all my questions before arrival and made this an easy trip; would definitely come back again. Thanks!

Relaxing week
The house was just as described. If you're looking for a relaxing place to stay between hikes, this house is the perfect choice. We brought all our own food to cook which was a big help, but we were able to pick up basic needs at the general store a few minutes down the mountain. This location is perfect for turning off all the drama of the world and just reconnecting with nature.

Beautiful stay
What a perfect location ! Private in the trees, lots of deer and the pool is about 1.5 mile drive away. We went to Ashville one day and the Pisgah Forest ! So beautiful. We were able to hike Bike Bald from the private entry onto the Appalachian as well.

Mountain Roundhouse
We loved our stay at the mountain roundhouse. The house was exactly as described and the setting was beautiful. When we weren't able to be outside due to rain, we really enjoyed having a fire in the fireplace while playing some pretty competitive games of Yahtzee ;-).

Be more descriptive for avid riders.
My fiancé and I are currently on our way back home from our stay and just about everything was absolutely perfect. The only thing is, my fiancé and I ride motorcycles and we had trailered it up here with us. When we arrived to the gate, we were then informed that we weren’t allowed to bring our bike up to the house due to rougher road conditions. Everything ended up working out and ended up being okay, but for avid riders like we are, it would’ve definitely been helpful to know we would’ve had to leave it parked by the office way beforehand and not as we were checking in. Aside from that everything was great! Definitely recommend this little treetop house for an extended weekend getaway!

Just adorable!
Always wanted to stay in a round house? Now is your chance! Comfy and cozy best describes our stay. Beautiful furnishings and seems spacious for a small place. Very clean and everything you need to have a great stay. The large deck is feature you will want to enjoy. The host is great in communicating and deserves the Superhost title. Definitely will stay again.

Best Friend Time
My long time best friend and I got a wild hair and decided to do a last minute girls trip. She suggested we rent a dome, I came across Fox Den and we jumped on the opportunity to stay. The reservation process was very straightforward. Very soon after I booked it I received a confirmation of booking from the host with lots of important details. While preparing for the trip I was curious what road condition might look like so I reached out to the host. I received a prompt response with helpful information. The place itself was very clean and inviting. I loved the fire place, and it was nice that the host provided fire logs. Location was beautiful but a bit challenging to get in and out of. The host was very good about letting us know this ahead of time. The hot water was a bit tricky to navigate. My best friend had better luck with that than me. Overall it was a fantastic stay for! I will definitely be returning.
