About this property

HawksWatch Exquisite Mountain View

Enjoy the best of the high country with an exquisite mountain view from the top of Four Diamond Ridge overlooking Hawks Nest Resort. HawksWatch offers 4 seasons of activities and nature’s bounty with easy access to Grandfather Mountain, Boone and Appalachian State University, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk and Lee’s MaCrae College, Linville Ridge, Spruce Pine, Watauga Lake and Roan Mountain TN.

This beautiful and updated mountain chalet has abundant flexible space that can be used as one consolidated unit for a large group, or 2 separate living spaces for multiple families and smaller groups to have their own private spaces with complete kitchens, outdoor accommodations and stone wood burning fireplaces.

Teens can have privacy hanging out in their own lower 2 bedroom unit while young children have their space to hangout in the game/media room complete with board and card games and toys, 3 arcade machines, an xBox with access to Xbox live games, and color TV. The 4 chairs in the game room unfold into twin mattresses suggested for child/teen sleeping only.

The lower level also has a renovated spa room with expansive mountain views and an indoor hot tub for privacy and comfort while enjoying the cold winter weather.

The kitchens have stainless appliances, granite counter tops and are equipped with high quality cooking essentials to ensure meal prep is easy or as chef-inspired as you desire. Alternatively, you have easy access to some of the best restaurants in the High Country if your pleasure is to have some great local chefs prepare meals for you.

If needed, there is a porta-crib, high chair and portable baby gate for the very littles so you can pack lighter to accommodate their needs.

Spend your time engaged in mountain activities or just relax and enjoy all that surrounds you at the top of the town of Seven Devils. Hawksnest is your view from the back of the house or walk out the front door and take in the view of Sugar Mountain.
Attend a college football game or other local event such as skiing Sugar, Beech or Appalachian Mountains (or all 3), while also having 5 minute access to snow tubing at Hawks Nest. There is access to fly fishing, rafting or swimming at nearby Elk River and boating at Watauga Lake, and abundant and easy access hiking throughout the N.C. and T.N. High Country areas.

Hawkswatch can be your vacation destination for ultimate relaxation or maximum adventures, whichever you and your guests prefer.

During the winter months, most mountains require 4-wheel drive or chains. While all roads are paved access to the house and the town does plow the roads, it could be delayed during periods of heavy snowfall. Both driveways are paved flat on one and a slight downward slope on the 2nd driveway.

There is no snow-removal service for driveways, walkways, decks and porches on the property but snow shovels are provided should they be needed.

Perfect Mountain Feel

We had a great extended weekend at Hawk’s Watch! Plenty to do for all ages. The house sits atop a lovely mountain range.The kitchen is well stocked and (opposed to other reviews) there was salt and pepper, the house was clean and we would stay again. The beds are super comfortable. We were up close and personal with deer, wild turkey and even a random bunny. It is only a three minute drive to Hawksnest tubing.Recommend eating at the Pedalin’ Pig and riding the Apline Coaster (get the three ride package). See guest book for additional suggestions.See

Great House and View!

Awesome views!! This house was fabulous! The beds were comfy, kitchen well-stocked, fireplace was great- only good things to say about this house! We had plenty of room to spend quality time with our family. The location is central to tubing and skiing. It’s also close to Boone- which if fun to explore. Great home!

Weekend 1/7/25

Our family rented Hawks Watch in Seven Devils this past weekend. We had a wonderful time because we’ve never been able to do this with the whole family and we wanted to take our grandchildren snowtubing, which we did.However, we were not expecting the following issues upon our arrival. Things did not as appear as the photos on the website.House was very dusty, and appliances were dirty – had to wipe down before using.No TV’s in the bedrooms. The one upstairs in the master was cracked at the bottom and didn’t work.The listing stated there were 4 twin beds the game room and had to adjust our sleeping arrangements .The deck and front porch and driveway were not cleared. My mother-in-law slipped and twisted her knee when leaving to go tubing on Saturday. We couldn’t sit on the deck to view the mountain beauty because there was so much snow and ice on the furniture.There was a water hose thrown under the deck froze to the deck floor.Wood was everywhere and wood brough into the house was left on floor w/wood chips everywhere. Fireplace was full of ashes.The dining room was not staged like the pictures shown. Just an ugly table that was very wobbly and broken chairs that wouldn’t stay upright.Just wanted to state the issues so hopefully the next family will not have this happen to them. For what we paid we were shocked, misled and displeased.

HawksWatch

The property over all was perfect for a vacation in the mountains the beds were comfortable and the view was beautiful. The property itself needs some changes to better accommodate guests. I never write long reviews but a few things must be said. When being charged a cleaning fee, one would expect not to have to dust. No shampoo or soap in the bathroom was inconvenient. Also only 2 garbage bags for a week stay was another thing that we had to purchase. The patio which is the main feature of the property was unusable. Dead plants hanging and placed everywhere not to mention a massive amount of furniture that was bolted to the floor. Rain would soak the cushions and we were not able to sit down. The welcome book was coming apart and instructions posted every where through out the property was tacky and unnecessary. The games downstairs were fun for the kids. Unfortunately the downstairs guests could not get the hot water inThe shower to work. Old fixtures. Some small changes would make a huge difference and the property would be much more enjoyable to those that stay. I’m not sure only one wine glass but that was strange. No salt and pepper ? As a traveler that uses Vrbo several times a year I’ve never paid so much and didn’t have basic things. In addition the cleaners left a envelope requesting a tip. We have paid a cleaning service fee and that was offended me.

Fabulous location for family gathering

This was an ideal location for my family’s New Year’s celebration. It not only had all the space and equipment we needed, the owners had decorated for Christmas, adding to the festive atmosphere. The long-distance views of the mountains are spectacular and proximity to local ski slopes very convenient. There were a few icy patches on steep roads within the neighborhood so 4-wheel drive, snow tires and/or tire chains are recommended.

Amazing Views

Overall great property. Hard to describe how great the views are off the deck, pretty incredible! The house was a perfect set up for us, basically fully functional upstairs and down. Teenage daughter and her friends loved hanging out in their own space downstairs. Close to skiing, very close to tubing, really perfect for our trip. Definitely recommend.

Perfect for Large Families

Our extended family stayed here for Thanksgiving, and it was perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kids loved having their own space to play games and watch movies. The location was convenient to many attractions, but still far enough away to feel like you're getting away from everything.

Fall 2023

The view was spectacular. The cabin itself needed a thorough cleaning. Not sure if it was cleaned before we came, hair in tub and lettuce in fridge drawer. We had a one year old with us and appreciated the portable crib and highchair. However, the kitchen table chairs are very light and the baby almost fell over when strapped into the high chair. Dangerous. We used 2 bar stools to support the chair.

Lovely cabin in a beautiful community with fantastic views. I could have sat on the deck the whole time I was there. Plenty of room for extended family. The kids loved the video games. We all enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace, very cozy in the cool evenings. Access was very easy. Communication with hosts was great. Overall, it was a very pleasant, relaxing experience.

Wonderful Mountain Getaway!

My wife and I spent a week at this cabin with our kids and grandkid, celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary! We all had a great time with no problems at all. The cabin was big enough to accommodate us all in comfort! It is perfectly located to allow for day trips to all the points of interest in the area, especially Grandfather Mountain. We will definitely return to this beautiful cabin!
