Welcome to Four Diamond Escape!

Four Diamond Escape is perched at a high elevation atop Seven Devils, between Boone and Banner Elk, close to Hawksnest and Sugar Mountain Resorts. Hawksnest Snow Tubing & Ziplines, the town park, and Otter Falls Trail are all less than 2 miles below this home. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort is only about 8 miles away and Beech Mountain Ski Resort is about 16 miles away. Appalachian Ski Mountain and Tweetsie Railroad are both less than 18 miles away. Grandfather Mountain is approximately 12 miles away. The Watauga River is only a few miles away as well and offers fishing, tubing, and more. Downtown Banner Elk is 11 miles away, and the Towns of Boone and Blowing Rock are both about 13 miles away. Restaurants, shopping, and other fun things to do in the High Country are all a short distance from this spectacular, upscale mountain home.

On the main level, you will find an updated kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances with a gas cooktop. The adjacent dining area seats up to 8 guests at the banquet-style dining table, and the open living room boasts leather furniture, an HD Smart TV, and a floor-to-ceiling, stacked-stone, corner gas log fireplace. There is a half bath/powder room on the main level with a washer and dryer laundry closet. Wood floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, poplar bark accents, a live-edge branch balustrade, and other custom features make this the ideal upscale mountain getaway!

The master suite is on the main level and has a king bed, HD Smart TV, a private, front-facing Juliette deck, and a private ensuite bathroom with a granite vanity counter and two sinks, oversized tiled floors, and a custom oversized step-in shower with rock floor and glass doors.

Amazing view

We really enjoyed the house overall. The beds were very confortable and plenty spacious. The views were great.Only areas of concern was the kitchen was very disorganized, the home was not well cleaned and the driveway was basically just a mud pit. Luckily we all had multiple change of shoes because there was no way to get into the house without getting completely muddy.

Snow Tubing

Great location for snow tubing at Hawksnest. It snowed during our stay. It was beautiful. No problems getting down or up if you have 4 wheel drive. Cabin was comfortable, nice gas fireplace in great room. Guys enjoyed the pool table on the lower level. Kitchen had everything we needed.

Outdated and needs a deep clean

The house looks much nicer online than it does in person. The living room and kitchen are small and the furniture is torn and scratched. The house needs a deep clean. The stove had burners that didn’t work, the sink had a leak, and there was trash and a fallen gutter surrounding the property. The view was beautiful.

Great views, but basic amenities need updating

The location and views of the property can't be beat! The house had a great layout for our group (4 adults, 4 kids), but the house is smaller than it appears in pictures. The home is clean, but the kitchen dishes and utensils need an overhaul. A lot of the dishes were chipped or cracked and there were only 4 bowls for a home that sleeps 8! We asked management for more bowls, but they suggested we buy disposal bowls as they were overrun with holiday requests. Additionally, the kitchen needs more dish towels. Be aware that there are no fireplaces or fire pits for wood burning. The indoor fireplace is gas logs, which is nice and easy, however we were hoping for an outdoor fire pit to do smores. There is an outdoor fire pit table on the porch, which is also nice, but doesn't work for smores. The roads in the neighborhood can be slick when icy/snowy, so be prepared for that. We enjoyed our stay and loved the views, but the house could use some basic amenity upgrades.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

The property is in a beautiful quiet area. Property for the most part is well equipped with modern smart TVs, excellent appliances, hot tub, fire table, BBQ. We enjoyed the fantastic views of sunrise and on the back sunsets. However the check in did not go well, the supplier provided the wrong front door code and wifi password via the recommended app. That wasted some time getting in. The second negative is the bad condition of kitchen dishes and utensils. Chipped and cracked dishes, incomplete sets, e.g. bowls. And no BBQ cooking tools. Also no property information binder was found.

Perfect Family Vacation

House was everything we were looking for-location to the Blue Ridge Mountains & Grandfather Mountain, plenty of room for our 3 families & exceptional view! It was our first time exploring the Blue Ridge and NC-proximity to hiking trails and waterfall trails was just perfect! Looking forward to our next NC vacation already!

We had a great time staying in this home. It had everything we needed and the views were amazing from the home. It was close to Boone and Banner Elk. The home was clean and comfortable. We loved that it had four king beds! Great for couples traveling together.

My family had a wonderful time. The decor of the house was meticulous for the mountain location. The weather turned out so nice and we were able to relax on the porch for most of our 4 day stay. The Mountain View was as spectacular as the pictures show.

Beautiful view

The property itself is laid out nicely for a family. The four bedrooms are very roomy and comfortable. We did have a problem with the hot water heater the day before checking out and we received an email letting us know that they will be contacting someone but we never heard from anyone. So this resulted in two days of cold showers. Outside of that, it’s a great place to stay! If traveling in the snow, you will need a four wheel drive.

3 Stars

A bit run down. Garage stunk and was FULL of beer bottles and litter even though we arrived 2+ hours after check-in, a broken lamp in one bedroom, a broken pool cue, malfunctioning and filthy hot tub full of clumps of hair, no beach towels for the hot tub, an empty bottle and a used Kleenex in one of the bedrooms, kitchen faucet that was wobbly, dirty dishes put away in the cupboards, cabinet door hanging off its hinges above the fridge, dirty carpet duct taped to the floor, upstairs bathroom door that doesn't shut properly, a pretty serious nail sticking up out of the seat of one of the dining chairs, old blankets on the beds with pulls and stains, driveway not shoveled or salted upon arrival, etc. With that said, it is spacious and kind of charming with spectacular views. It's on a quiet street and is convenient to Sugar Mountain and has loads more snow than the lower homes. Loved our time but felt for the money that the home was sort of a mess. Not being able to use the hot tub was a huge bummer too as my 8 and 9 year old were dying to get in and just sat in luke warm cloudy water with gross floaters and clods of hair around them.
