At 4,000 ft, everything is elevated, from crisper mountain air, birdsongs, frequent wildlife visitors right at your door (black bears, red foxes, wild turkeys, Hummingbirds, Hawks & other birds, groundhogs, bunnies, & deer) & even more snow Oct-Apr! Located in the premier “storybook” resort town of Seven Devils, our alpine retreat is perfectly positioned at the epicenter of NC’s most coveted High Country destinations - immerse yourself in nature without a remote feel.

The home was clean, well-stocked, in a good location, and the host was fantastic. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, and mountain views. Clear instructions were provided for the amenities, check in/out, etc. Communication from the host throughout the process and stay was wonderful! We hope to stay again when returning to the area.

I thought this was a great place for my intergenerational family to stay - the teens could have their own space downstairs, and we could all come together on the main floor - and multiple places to eat outdoors - by the hot tub, back porch or downstairs porch. The kitchen was well equipped, and the home was cleaned very well. We also traveled with our dogs, and that worked out well- we walked them on the neighborhood roads, and they could hang out on the enclosed balcony.

Ruthie was so amazing and hospitable! The home is so cozy with every possible thing you could imagine needing already there. The kids- ranging from toddler to teenagers- had a blast with all of the fun games and activities there, despite being rained in. My husband and I enjoyed the quiet mornings on the deck accompanied by the local deer families that frequented the yard. There was a buck, does, and baby deer! So cute!! It’s only 10 min from a grocery store, too. The roads are super winding, which would be crazy in the winter (I could imagine), but our summer visit was amazing! We didn’t get to explore all of the things around town, because of weather, but there was tons to do!

Love the house. It’s cozy and well-stocked, especially the kitchen. We really enjoyed the hot tub this year. My son said as we were pulling in the driveway, “This is my favorite ever vacation house!”
