2nd time around

We loved it the first time and again this time. Besides being a fabulous place to stay, Hawks View is located near many outstanding artist studios and art galleries that are far superior to what can be found in most other places, including large cities. Don't miss the Penland Gallery and be sure to enjoy a tour of the local studios. Check out the Crimson Laurel Gallery, which has one of the best collections of ceramics I've ever seen. The property is extremely well maintained, the views are wonderful, and it is highly functional. No need to eat out, so we cannot report on area restaurants.

Great October Vacation

This home is very nicely furnished with alot of fun art, and extremely comfortable. We had everything we needed and the MOST beautiful mountain views. The wrap around porch is so nice and we loved being on top of the mountain and enjoyed wonderful privacy. The stars at night were so bright. We loved the buck stove, we had nights there in the 30's and the fire and warmth were great. We hope to return there again soon, this is the best place we have stayed in our visits to the NC mountains. The foliage on this 3rd week of October was absolutely beautiful at this elevation. The full size bedroom on the main floor was perfect for my elderly Mom, but the bathroom was a step over tub for those who might need to know that. Thanks

Mike and I just got home about an hour ago, and I can't wait to say how much we loved your cabin! You have the best view possible, and the house is very comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely warm fire on Saturday night, after a vigorous hike on the Appalachian Trail, where we encountered both sleet and snow. It was cold but fun, and we had dinner out in Spruce Pine, and came home to make a warm fire and watch a good movie (provided by you)! We hope to come back and bring our boys along (Joe is 25 and Matt is 24). Our twin girls, Rachael and Tess (both 23 next month) absolutely loved the cabin. We made our breakfasts both days and played a game (also provided by you) one night. We enjoyed our last day, and stayed until 3:30 p.m., basking in the sun, on your porch, in the rocking chairs. It was very hard to leave. You have everything set up comfortably, with interest. We will be back, and only regretted not having more time this trip. Thank you for sharing - LU"

So Enchanting Even the Rocks Sparkle!

You can stop looking for a place to stay right now. Hawk's View is the place you want. The photos can't begin to do this place justice. It's the perfect blend of modern, rustic, and comfortable; both inside and outside. This part of North Carolina is so mineral rich, that even the rocks glitter with silver and gold flecks--you just don't get that everywhere. The hammock is big enough for two, but be forewarned that once you are in it, you will not want to get out of it. Super clean, stocked with everything you might need. Really comfy beds. Close to Boone, Blowing Rock, Spruce Pine--don't miss eating at the Tin Lizard in Spruce Pine--bring home carrot cake. For a taste of real Appalachia, visit Jack at Dellinger's Mill for fresh-ground cornmeal, polenta, and grits, then head on over to the Orchard at Altapass for some live music and dancing with Bill--IF you can pry yourself away from Hawk's View.

We loved our stay at Hawks View. Private, truly incredible views, excellent and interesting decor. In addition - there was plenty of space and everything was well stocked. The scenery changes hourly - morning through the night Cynthia followed through on all questions before our arrival. Once we arrived - there was no need for any questions or follow-ups. Among all the other virtues - the property is also centrally located. We trekked as far as Roan mountain and up/down the Blue Ridge. The Penland school nearby is worth a trip. If you are a runner - Spruce Pine and the surrounding area has some nice trek. I thoroughly enjoyed an 11 mile run during the stay. It is a little piece of paradise!

We lived at Hawks View for two weeks while attending the Penland School. As great as the Penland experience was for us, it was difficult to leave in the mornings. The views are incredible. Take time to review the photos on the house's excellent website as you consider your rental. The reality surpasses the pictures! Everything was exactly as represented. The detail and charm of the place can't be overstated. Highly recommmend and we'll be back!

I don't think we could have had better views anywhere. Wonderful porch overlooking the valley and the mountains; we spent most of our time there reading in the hammock. The house is beautiful, and kitchen was extremely adequate. Would highly recommend the trip to Grandfather Mountain to the northeast and to the Biltmore in Asheville- both just under an hour drive. Would highly recommend the Tin Lizard Pub in Spruce Pine. Excellent pub menu, and phenomenal dinner menu for a nice, and local, meal out. My only complaint was the heat, which the locals noted was the hottest week of the year. Temps reached 90 at the house which made it difficult to cool in the evenings and at night without an air conditioner. I'm sure it would have been quite comfortable if the temps would have been "normal".

The home was very open and comfortable. The views are spectacular. The pictures of the home were accurate. The surrounding towns had wonderful mom and pop resturants. There are plenty of gallerys ,potters and artists to see and visit. A very enjoyable getaway and very relaxing! I highly recommend this place.

This listing proved to be every bit as beautiful as described. The photos are what drew us to this incredible property and although accurate could not fully illustrate this incredible property. The views were breathtaking. It was so peaceful & quiet. We would awaken early each day to hear the tom turkeys serenading the hens in the valley. Each evening as the sun went down over the horizon, we basked in the soothing sounds of "spring peepers" singing their hearts out. The house was clean & well maintained with the owner providing thoughtful and concise instuctions to operational functions of grill, cable TV, lighting, etc. In addition, I received a call from the owner the day after our arrival to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. One exceptionally nice touch was a reference book made up by the owners with very comprehensive informations about local attractions, restaurants and local maps. We give this property a "five out of five star rating" and have already recommended it to several of outr closest friends and family!
