About

Smoky Mountain Rose Manor was conceived in 1975 when an artist family who was “into” health foods and organic gardening decided to build an environmently friendly residence in a remote area of Western North Carolina 15 miles from Bryson City and 15 miles from Franklin where as it turned out there were others from Florida too. Now, there are even organic farmers’ markets in the surrounding areas and products are readily available that had to be shipped in the 70’s.
Since the beginning no chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides have been used on property. Make some of your vacation an organic, sustainable lifestyle learning experience or an artist workshop or reading retreat with Rose Manor’s extensive library and special guest lectures. There may be enough room in this eco lodge setting to have a reunion.
Every Photo on this site was taken by owner, Linda Collie at Rose Manor and in surrounding areas. Come make your own memories….
