Round Mountain Falls is located in Transylvania County, the "Land of the Waterfalls". Transylvania County has been named as one of America’s top ten places to live, work, and play by such publications as Rand McNally, the Wall Street Journal, Where to Retire magazine, and National Geographic Traveler. It offers a temperate, four-season mountain climate, giving you the privilege of experiencing the best of the seasons without the extremes.

More than 45% of Transylvania County is state parks and national forests, including Pisgah National Forest, Gorges State Park, and Dupont State Forest. These parks provide over 175,000 acres of breathtaking scenery and countless opportunities for outdoor recreation, such as canoeing, kayaking, hiking, tubing, mountain biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, and fishing.
