3 Br Cabin Vacation Rental In Banner Elk, North Carolina

Must be at least 25 years of age to book.

Welcome to Hawkes Nest!
Hawkes Nest is a charming mountain home with three (3) bedrooms on a large wooded property with seasonal mountain views, located just outside of downtown Banner Elk at the base of Beech Mountain. Ideal for all seasons, you are less than five (5) miles to the slopes of Beech Mountain Ski Resort and maybe ten (10) miles to the slopes of Sugar Mountain Ski Resort for snow skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, snow tubing, and sledding. Once the slopes close in the late spring, the High Country is a beautiful place to visit as nature awakens with warm, sunny days and cool, crisp nights. The summer speaks for itself, and the High Country sees an incredible demand for summer vacation destinations. After the summer ends and we roll into the fall, the weather is a big draw, again with pleasant days and chilly nights, and the color palette comes to life as the leaves change to fiery oranges, reds, golds, and browns. The views at Hawkes Nest begin to open up during the fall leaf season, which makes this a special place to stay.

The main level offers a great room with comfy sofas, an HD ROKU Smart TV with digital cable programming, and a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen, fully stocked with glassware, silverware, dishware, and cookware, is adjacent to the great room. Its central island seats four (4) guests, and the dining table seats six guests. Hawkes Nest accommodates ten in the dining area.

The master suite has a hand-hewn-log king-sized bed, an HDTV with digital cable programming, and an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a jetted tub and separate shower, a double vanity, and a walk-in closet. Upstairs offers two more bedrooms. Each has a private full bathroom with a shower. One of the two upstairs bedrooms features a queen bed and an HD ROKU Smart TV with digital cable programming. The other upstairs bedroom has two (2) twin beds, a twin daybed with a twin trundle bed, a foosball table, and an HD ROKU Smart TV with digital cable programming. At the top of the stairs is a central Juliette Deck which enjoys the seasonal mountain views.

The main level has a covered front porch leading to a wrap-around deck on the side and rear of the house, where you will find the hot tub. You will find an electric grill and outdoor dining table. Paved parking with a ramp down to the front porch and level entry makes this a handicap-friendly house for mobility issues. A washer and dryer, wireless internet, and central heating and air conditioning are a few of the basic amenities you will have. A convenient location close to the restaurants and shops in downtown Banner Elk, a short drive to the Lees McRae campus, and a short drive up to the slopes on Beech Mountain Ski Resort make this an ideal mountain getaway. The owners spend a decent amount of time here, and it shows as it feels like a well-loved and well-cared-for home.
