Welcome to Rovers Retreat - Very Private 4 Acre Fenced Pet Friendly Property

Big view cabin and yurt!! Spectacular, panoramic mountain view residence, situated at an elevation of 4000 FEET. On a private 4 acre lot, with fur-friendly 1 BR/1.5 Bath loft cabin (750 SF) & detached 1 BR/.5 bath guest yurt.
Only 10 minutes from Cashiers, Lake Glenville & Panthertown Valley. 20 minutes to Highlands. 1 hour from Asheville and The Biltmore.
Sleeps 2 to 6 people very comfortably. Great for single person, couple (s) and kids. Large front porch with outdoor dining/seating, along with a picnic table on the lawn. HUGE 1-acre fenced yard for large & small dogs! They will enjoy their best vacation EVER! Outside has a charcoal grill and wood burning fire pit.

1 BR loft cabin with 1.5 bath, open floor plan on main level with LR, full kitchen & full bath. 2nd floor master bedroom loft with 1/2 bath and king bed. Sleeping for 2 downstairs on chaise lounger.
DirecTV satellite TV, Wi-Fi, Amazon, and Netflix. Wood burning stove, gas heat, electric heat & A/C units. Kitchen with fridge, stove, oven, microwave, small appliances, dishware, glasses, cookware & all basic utensils. W&D, full modern bath w/large walk-in shower.

Guest yurt (350 SF of a trendy, modern, insulated, circular wood-framed structure with canvas and lattice walls/ceilings; on a wood foundation) is only 100 feet away from main cabin.
The yurt has full kitchenette with fridge, stove, sink, & small appliances. Ductless HVAC system, queen bed, reclining love seat, and single cot, chair/ottoman, TV w/ built-in DVD Player/DirecTV & Wi-Fi. 1/2 bath, wood floor, surrounding windows and operable skylight. Front deck with fantastic mountain views. Note: Bathroom in winter will be winterized (water off) if temps below 32 degrees outside in the yurt.

The best amenity of this property is the 4 acre, private, 4000 foot elevation with level lawn areas (bocce ball court & corn-hole) and fenced in yard!
Just relax and enjoy the great panoramic views of Sapphire Valley and the amazing granite rock faces of the mountains. Located only 5 minutes from Panthertown Valley, aka "the Yosemite of the East." (6700 acre paradise for mountain biking, backpacking, trout fishing, clear swimming holes with beaches & hiking).
More than 20 of the finest waterfalls are within a 30 minute drive. Lake Glenville (highest elevation lake east of Mississippi) has pontoon and kayaks rentals in warm weather. Whiteside Mountain has an excellent, cliff-top view, hiking loop with 700' high cliff walls. Whitewater Falls is the highest waterfall east of the Rockies that plunges a staggering 411 feet, and Gorges State Park, aka "Gorgeous" due to its unique waterfalls, rugged river gorges, sheer rock cliffs, and awesome plant life, are both within 20 minutes of the property.

When you rent our place, with a rare, gem of a view, you get the entire property to yourselves! Sit on the adirondack chairs and enjoy a cocktail with a million dollar view, or roast some smores and enjoy the best stargazing ever!

Love Rover's Retreat!!!

This is such a peaceful place to visit with dogs. The view is amazing, the house and yurt are small but perfectly laid out and equipped. Our dogs LOVED the yard. We loved the location and easy access to hiking, restaurants, a couple of cute towns, and mountain lakes. We absolutely plan to return next summer!

Heaven on Mountain Top

Our stay was 10/10. The cabin is adorable and very comfortable. The view is magnificent. Such a pleasure to sit outside by the fire pit and watch the moon rise over the mountains. A huge plus for us was the entire property being fenced. This allowed our hounds to run and sniff freely. We have already booked another stay.

Perfect Retreat

This was the perfect retreat for us and for our dogs after the hurricane in Asheville. Kim knew we did not have water and were looking for a break for a couple of days to take showers and to do laundry. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. The property was amazing, allowing us a break while allowing our dogs to roam. Just what we needed and they absolutely loved it. We could not have chosen a better location.

Million Dollar View

Cool and dry air at 4,000 ft was a respite from where we live. Quiet and peaceful, we enjoyed looking at the views every day. One suggestion, would be to change the lock on basement door.

Great Getaway

We had such a great time staying at the Rovers Retreat! It's exactly what anyone can want in a place to stay in the mountains. The views from the front yard are amazing and a great backdrop to do some reading or enjoy a spot by the fire. Kim and Brad are great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend!

Rejuvenating

This was one of the most relaxing vacations my family has ever taken. We had plans to go see the sites, but this cabin was soooo peaceful that we just picked up food at the local markets and enjoyed bonding all weekend with the beautiful view. Great way to just relax!

A weekend away at Rover's Retreat

We had a great stay at the place. Great location for exploring Cashiers and Sapphire. Communication with the owner was easy and always helpful. Really nice to have the fenced in space for dogs. The view from the property was amazing in the morning and evening. The cabin was nicely equipped and very warm and welcoming. We'd definitely stay here again!!

Peaceful and secluded, just what my husband & I wanted for our anniversary getaway! We felt right at home as soon as we arrived. Everything was perfect, even down to the book selection! Our German Shepherd loved the fenced in yard. Can’t say enough good things about our stay at Rovers Retreat! It was one of our most favorite vacations, can’t wait to return!

We wanted to take a break from the Florida heat and found this wonderful property. This place checks all the boxes. Great views, comfortable temps, cozy cabin, convenient location to town, cool yurt, and fenced. This property provides a stress-free dog owner experience. The owners were super easy to communicate with and made us feel welcome. Looking forward to coming back!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Where to start.... First of all this property is one of a kind and exceeds the description and pictures. The hosts were extremely helpful and made us feel like family. Given the recent devastation of Hurricane Helene we were concerned about traveling but Kim and Brad were communicative and helped to put all our fears at ease. The cabin is extremely clean, grounds well maintained, and the amenities unmatched. Our 3 year old Shepadoodle had the time of his life, as did we! We are already thinking about our next trip and you should too!!
