FAQ's
*Does the Big Chill have central air conditioning? No it does not. We have found that it rarely gets above 80 degrees in Seven Devils in the summertime. If you open the windows and turn on the ceiling fans the cabin cools down nicely.

*Distance to area attractions - Hawksnest (2.8 miles, 8 minutes) - Sugar Mountain (6.8 miles, 15 minutes) - Banner Elk (9.3 miles, 18 minutes) - Boone (12.4 miles, 24 minutes) - Blowing Rock (12.5 miles, 28 minutes) - Grandfather Mountain (14.1 miles, 26 minutes)

* What is your security deposit policy? There is no security deposit collected at the time of rental. Your credit card will be held by VRBO until my property manager assesses that no damage has occurred to the cabin (up to 14 days). This policy is designed to keep our cabin in pristine shape for all of our renters. If I don't report to VRBO that damage has occurred, the hold will be released after this 14 day period.

* Is four wheel drive required in the winter months? The town of Seven Devils has a chain ordinance that states Whenever the Town Manager, Police Chief, or Public Works Director determines that travel by motor vehicles on Town streets is hazardous due to snow, ice or a combination of both, the traffic-control device (flashing sign) at the entrance of the Town of Seven Devils shall be clearly illuminated, stating that this chain law is in effect, requiring: A. Chains B. Snow tires C. Four-wheel Drive (or AWD) D. A combination of the above. The town of Seven Devils does a good job clearing the roads (all paved) after a snow fall. This includes the road which leads directly to the cabin.

* Does the cabin provide keyless entry? Yes it does. Once your reservation has been set, I will send you your personal 4 digit code the week of your visit.

* Do you offer long term rentals of the Big Chill? We do not offer long term rentals at this time. The longest rental available is for a two week period.

* Can I smoke in the Big Chill? No. There is no smoking of any kind allowed anywhere on the property. Any evidence of smoking will result in a charge to the renters credit card.

*Does the Big Chill allow pets? We do not allow pets of any kind.

Very comfortable mountain cabin with great location.

My family stayed while they went tubing at Hawks nest. Everything was great except the kitchen floor was not clean. That’s the reason we gave it 4 for cleanliness. Overall, it was great. We had to change our weekend due to a scheduling conflict in the owner was very accommodating. We will definitely recommend staying here.

Great weekend

We enjoyed a great weekend as a family. The cabin location was a short 8minute drive to the grocery or 10minutes to Sugar where we spent 2 days skiing. The cabin was clean and I was impressed how well equipped with ziplocks, all cooking supplies, wood for the fireplace, wash in the shower and more. Communication was great, we had a few questions along the way and they were answered quickly. We would stay again! Also, we had a snow day and we were worried we would not be able to leave the cabin as our van did not have 4wheel drive. Thankfully the area had a snowplow out at 10am clearing the roads around the cabins which was super helpful.

Why they chose this property

Our family has fallen in love with the North Carolina High Country. We were lead here when our daughter chose to go to Lees McRae College in Banner Elk for their Wildlife Rehabilitation Program. The next thing we knew we were looking for a cabin. "The Big Chill" won our hearts. It's beautiful, private, cozy but close to everything. We are so excited to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
