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.

This was the perfect place for our two-family mountain adventure! It was nice to have two distinct areas (living room and kitchens), one upstairs and one downstairs, so each family could do their own thing after a long day.
