Round Hill Lodge is a 4.5-star lodge situated on Greasy Branch Road near Bryson City, North Carolina. It offers a quiet mountain retreat with scenic views of the surrounding Smoky Mountains, featuring a wraparound patio that highlights the natural beauty of the area. The property has a cozy and well-maintained interior with a fully equipped kitchen and family-friendly amenities, making it suitable for group stays and family reunions.
The lodge's setting appeals primarily to visitors interested in sightseeing and outdoor recreation, with popular nearby attractions such as the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, Kuwohi mountain, and Andrews Bald providing opportunities for hiking and scenic exploration. Transport links include proximity to Asheville Regional and McGhee Tyson airports, though travel times by car range from around 1.5 to 2 hours.
Guest experiences highlight the spacious and comfortable accommodations, good maintenance, and accommodating host. While most reviews note cleanliness and stunning mountain views, some mention concerns about pet hair and minor issues with outdoor equipment. The property includes family-friendly features but has a limited grassy area for children to play, which is an important consideration for those traveling with kids.
Round Hill Lodge suits groups or families looking for a peaceful, nature-oriented stay in the Smokies, especially those wanting a private setting away from neighbors. Its location on a hillside offers remarkable views but may involve navigating steep terrain. Nearby, several other lodging options provide alternatives within a short driving distance.

We just rented this cabin through Airbnb this past new year's eve. Location is great!!! Amazing views of the mountains, far away from neighbors. The cabin was super clean and well maintained. Kitchen is well equipped. Amazing host. I will definitely come back with my family. Thank you
What a wonderful place for rest and relaxation! Beautiful views from all the bedrooms. Awesome place for a family get together. We loved this place.
Stayed there this weekend. The view from the lodge is breathtaking! Pictures shared here don’t do justice. The host couldn’t have been more accommodating. There were more than enough linens and towels for the guests. The kitchen was well stocked. The cabin itself is beautiful and cozy, and extremely clean. Had an absolutely wonderful time with the family and friends. Highly recommend it.
Family had a great time staying here as an AirBnB family reunion. The home was wonderful and the host was just as great. I won't ding the place for the hill that it is on, but it's def. worth reviewing. The trip up and down is quite a thrill ride.
This is one of the most beautiful places in the Smokies. Quite and relaxing.
Beautiful lodge set in the Smoky Mountains. The photos accurately reflect what we found when we arrived. We had six adults and four children under five years old, and we were very comfortable. There's no real yard for children to use, but there is a small grassy area with two grills and a fire pit. (The gas grill's burners couldn't be adjusted down from "high," so that's something to keep in mind.) The wraparound deck was a big hit with all of us, though we did have to retreat inside a few times when bees came to investigate the good smells emanating from the outdoor table. The hot tub was also a nice, relaxing spot after a day out. We had one issue with it, and the owner had it taken care of within 24 hours. In addition to the people at the house, we appreciated that we were able to have our dogs with us, though the owner did complain about "excessive" dog hair after we left, which surprised us. Overall, this is a very nice, relaxing home for a large family or, in our case, a reunion after being apart for more than a year due to the pandemic. Highly recommended.
Just stayed here last weekend. The home is seriously so beautiful. The patio wraps around the entire house with great views. However, the inside was definitely not as nice. We found a lot of dog hair on the beds and linens that didn't seem to have been washed for some time.
