The Rocky Roost is a three bedroom/three bath (upstairs loft includes twin bed and trundle) hand-hewn log cabin located in The Lakes Resort at Seven Devils, featuring a true southern SLEEPING PORCH which is open mid-May through mid-November! Fall asleep to the sounds of the bullfrogs and crickets and wake up to sunrise over the Blue Ridge Mountains!
Beautiful views of Devils Lake and surrounding mountains. The cabin sleeps 2-12 (sleeps 14 mid-May through mid-November when the sleeping porch is open) and also includes a pack-and-play for the smallest guests! An ideal location for a family gathering, or a get-away from life in the big city! Swing on the vine twig swing on the porch or hop in the hot tub to enjoy the breath-taking beauty of the North Carolina mountains!
This cabin has been beautifully transformed into a real roost! Attention to detail can be found in each room and eclectic accessories will set the tone for your vacation away from it all. Each bedroom has its own private bath and each is located on a separate floor. There are queen beds in each bedroom, an additional twin bed with trundle in the loft bedroom, a sleep sofa on the main-floor living room, a sleep sofa on the lower floor and the Sleeping Porch, which includes a full bed. We have wireless internet access for those who have to keep in touch with the office!
Entertainment abounds with a state-of-the-art slate pool table, Wii, lots of board games! Take advantage of the fire pit and two ponds on site - perfect for fishing!
Enjoy all that the mountains have to offer...We are less than a mile from Hawksnest - which features the largest snow tubing park on the east coast, 15 minutes to Sugar, 20 to Appalachian and 35 to Beech! All the best ski resorts, right here at the ROOST! Only minutes to Banner Elk, Boone, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain, Linville Falls...we especially love shopping at the Shops on the Parkway in Blowing Rock and the key lime pie at Stick Boy Bread Company!
We hear that WINTER 2012 is going to be SNOWY! Love that! According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, this winter will be slightly milder and much drier than normal, although snowfall will be above normal. The coldest periods will be in mid-December and early and mid- to late February. The snowiest periods will be in early to mid-December, mid-January, and mid-February. WOO-HOO!
North Carolina's High Country is a favorite destination of families, couples and adventure-seekers. North Carolina has the highest mountains east of the Rockies and caters to adventurers of all abilities.
While you are here, visit some of our favorite spots - Bald Guy Brew on the 105 Bypass in Boone for some AWESOME coffee, Stick Boy Bread Company on Hardin Street (across from ASU) in Boone for some serious sweet stuff, or Peppers Restaurant which has some great homemade soups and sandwiches...call us - we would love to introduce you to the High Country!

Why the Owner Chose Banner Elk
Wayne and I have always had a fondness for the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. My parents were raised not far from Banner Elk and it seems like home to us. I went to Lee's McRae College in Banner Elk and then finished at NC State in Raleigh, so coming here is like old-home week, with friends still nearby. We were married in 1996 in the Banner Elk Presbyterian Church on Lee's McRae's campus, so we got our start here and hope to retire here in about 100 years, or so it seems!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
There is so much to do in Banner Elk and the surrounding areas! Our kids are still young, so we still enjoy hiking in the fall (there are some awesome trails nearby), and enjoying the slow pace of life that the area offers. The absolute BEST thing to do? FOURTH OF JULY parade in Banner Elk followed by fireworks and pig pickin' at Beech Mountain and, of course, the WOOLLY WORM FESTIVAL in Banner Elk in October. It just doesn't get any better than that!
Owner's Map of Banner Elk
Wayne and I live in Raleigh, North Carolina with two small children and Australian Shepherd (Smokey or Smoke Dog as the kids call him!). Wayne is a licensed civil engineer and I am a stay-at-home mom with a marketing communications business on the side (with two kids who has time for actual adult conversation?)
Our family enjoys spending time together and traveling as well as the activities that keep us close to home - tennis, dance, swim team, soccer...it never seems to end!

This was our first "mountain" vacation for the family. We are beach bums, but this is much more relaxing than Emerald Isle! We ALL loved the sleeping porch and took turns with catnaps. We hope to be back in October 2012. We did some great shopping in Blowing Rock too - nice little town!

The Rocky Roost was a great place to meet some good friends for some R&R. The house is comfortable and well appointed. Ziplining was a good time for those in our group who had the fortitude to try it. Hiking Grandfather Mountain was also fun! Great place - we would recommend to others!

Love this beautiful mountain home! My favorite part of this home is the sleeping porch - we had evening and night temperatures of high 50s to low 60s - perfect for sleeping out. Favorite activities - Jacob's Ladder (Hebron Rock Colony), Rafting with Edge of the World! Favorite restaurants - Our Daily Bread in Boone, and Grandview at the bottom of the mountain. Mostly we had a good time reconnecting as a family - thank you so much! We hope to be back soon!

Whitewater rafting in the Nolichucky River, biking at Lees McRae and fishing (more like catching!) at Grandfather Trout Farm. Loved the house - very comfortable and relaxing. We recommend the hot tub and pool table! Worst part was having to leave, but we hope to be back soon. High Mountain Expeditions was great for rafting trips and Jackalope's View is a wonderful restaurant!
