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.

We had 8 members of our family stay here for an early Christmas celebration. House easily accommodated the group. Great location for all activities. We were blessed with 2 inches of snow. Host had sledding equipment, so little ones could do some sledding.

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

It was a wonderful get away! Beautiful views from sun up to sun down! The house had a lot of different, fun things to do for all ages! Tons of fun hiking just a short distance from the cabin! Owners are easy to reach and had good communication…we loved our stay!

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.

Loved the property, great view, quiet and well kept. Downside a lot of real windy roads to get to it with hairpin turns.

Our experience at the house was great. Had everything for the adults and kids. We could see the snow tubing place and Sugar Mountain from the house.

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.

Hawks Watch was the perfect place to spend our 2023 family Christmas! The only thing that didn’t cooperate was the weather.

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.

Three generations ranging in age from 4 to 75 traveled to the mountains for our long Thanksgiving weekend. We enjoyed all the amenities: 2 kitchens, a Christmas tree, huge hot tub, coffee, wine as well as soaps in all the bathrooms. We would definitely like to return! Juli Perkins from Kitty Hawk, NC

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.

I stayed up at this mountain house with a good sized group of different family members for a long weekend. Everybody loved the view and we spent alot of time hanging out on the deck enjoying it. There is a ton of things to do in the area; we did alot of hiking, shopping and exploring. Janice and David were great hosts and communicated with us the whole time and the procedures were clear. The kids had tons of fun with the hot tub, the games downstairs, and just hanging out. A great location, house, and a great weekend trip!
