Vacation Rental Home Description
Round Knob Lodge is great for family reunions, corporate retreats, church retreats and history/train buffs. It was originally built in the 1930s and fully restored in 2002 to 2003. The building was beautifully constructed by the railroad out of stone, massive railroad steel bridge beams and large railroad timbers. Included among the extensive stonework are 5 stone fireplaces.
This lodge was a part of a destination landmark constructed by the railroad. Andrew's Geyser -- built in 1885 to mark the railroad gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains-- is adjacent to the property shooting a powerful stream of water 80 feet into the air year round. Railroad tracks climb the mountains in almost a full circle around the lodge to gain elevation as they cross the scenic Black Mountain range. Passengers on steam trains which once ran on these tracks thought viewing the geyser was a highlight of their trip.
The 11 acre property boasts a beautiful pristine trout stream, a swimming pool, and a stocked 2 acre fishing lake complete with a swimming dock and bridge to a small island. Numerous and extensive hiking trails can be accessed either on or near the property. Views include Andrew's Geyser, High Pinnacle Mountain and Greybeard Mountain. The lodge itself has a pool table, dart board, ping pong, foosball, board games and 2 satellite TVs.
The lodge has 6 bedrooms and 6 full baths and sleeps 14 to 24+ people. It is furnished with antiques, railroad memorabilia, original paintings and historical photographs. In addition to the large kitchen, there is a charcoal grill, gas grill and a wood fired 84” cooker for pig barbeques. There is 1 large screened-in porch and 2 decks (one large and one small of each).
Round Knob Lodge is located atop an elevated knob in the Mill Creek valley about 20 miles east of Asheville, near Old Fort and 10 minutes from Black Mountain. Western North Carolina is known for its outdoor recreation (such as hiking, fishing, tennis, golf, white water, and horseback riding) as well as bluegrass music and mountain dancing. There are numerous summer camps and Christian retreats in the area as well as Biltmore Estate and Grove Park inn Country Club and Resort.
