Welcome to Four Diamond Escape!

Four Diamond Escape is perched at a high elevation atop Seven Devils, between Boone and Banner Elk, close to Hawksnest and Sugar Mountain Resorts. Hawksnest Snow Tubing & Ziplines, the town park, and Otter Falls Trail are all less than 2 miles below this home. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort is only about 8 miles away and Beech Mountain Ski Resort is about 16 miles away. Appalachian Ski Mountain and Tweetsie Railroad are both less than 18 miles away. Grandfather Mountain is approximately 12 miles away. The Watauga River is only a few miles away as well and offers fishing, tubing, and more. Downtown Banner Elk is 11 miles away, and the Towns of Boone and Blowing Rock are both about 13 miles away. Restaurants, shopping, and other fun things to do in the High Country are all a short distance from this spectacular, upscale mountain home.

On the main level, you will find an updated kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances with a gas cooktop. The adjacent dining area seats up to 8 guests at the banquet-style dining table, and the open living room boasts leather furniture, an HD Smart TV, and a floor-to-ceiling, stacked-stone, corner gas log fireplace. There is a half bath/powder room on the main level with a washer and dryer laundry closet. Wood floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, poplar bark accents, a live-edge branch balustrade, and other custom features make this the ideal upscale mountain getaway!

The master suite is on the main level and has a king bed, HD Smart TV, a private, front-facing Juliette deck, and a private ensuite bathroom with a granite vanity counter and two sinks, oversized tiled floors, and a custom oversized step-in shower with rock floor and glass doors.

Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, each with a king-size poster bed, an HD Smart TV, cathedral ceilings, and mountain views from the windows. There is a central bathroom upstairs as well, with a granite vanity and a soaking tub and shower combo, which serves the two bedrooms.

Downstairs features a huge king bedroom suite, an HD Smart TV, sliding glass doors that lead out to a lower deck with a hot tub. There is an ensuite bathroom with a granite vanity, and a tub and shower combo. Also on the lower level is a recently retrofitted game room with a pool table and an HD Smart TV as well. This was half of the bigger oversized garage. Go into the 1-car attached garage from the game room for convenient indoor parking. Park two or three more vehicles on the off-street gravel driveway.

Three different levels of decks enjoy spectacular mountain views and offer a fire table, comfortable outdoor seating, a gas grill, and outdoor dining. Central Heating and Air Conditioning make this house comfortable year-round. Smart TVs with cable programming and WiFi internet keep you connected while vacationing.

The cabin had wonderful views. We very much enjoyed the outside areas. The only downside is it isn’t very private. There is a house right next door that isn’t in the pictures. The inside, particularly the kitchen needs some attention. One example is the cabin holds 8 people but there were only 6 coffee cups. All in all a nice cabin, particularly liked having 4 king beds!

Perfect Family Vacation

House was everything we were looking for-location to the Blue Ridge Mountains & Grandfather Mountain, plenty of room for our 3 families & exceptional view! It was our first time exploring the Blue Ridge and NC-proximity to hiking trails and waterfall trails was just perfect! Looking forward to our next NC vacation already!

Amazing view

We really enjoyed the house overall. The beds were very confortable and plenty spacious. The views were great.Only areas of concern was the kitchen was very disorganized, the home was not well cleaned and the driveway was basically just a mud pit. Luckily we all had multiple change of shoes because there was no way to get into the house without getting completely muddy.

Snow Tubing

Great location for snow tubing at Hawksnest. It snowed during our stay. It was beautiful. No problems getting down or up if you have 4 wheel drive. Cabin was comfortable, nice gas fireplace in great room. Guys enjoyed the pool table on the lower level. Kitchen had everything we needed.

Outdated and needs a deep clean

The house looks much nicer online than it does in person. The living room and kitchen are small and the furniture is torn and scratched. The house needs a deep clean. The stove had burners that didn’t work, the sink had a leak, and there was trash and a fallen gutter surrounding the property. The view was beautiful.

Beautiful view

The property itself is laid out nicely for a family. The four bedrooms are very roomy and comfortable. We did have a problem with the hot water heater the day before checking out and we received an email letting us know that they will be contacting someone but we never heard from anyone. So this resulted in two days of cold showers. Outside of that, it’s a great place to stay! If traveling in the snow, you will need a four wheel drive.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

The property is in a beautiful quiet area. Property for the most part is well equipped with modern smart TVs, excellent appliances, hot tub, fire table, BBQ. We enjoyed the fantastic views of sunrise and on the back sunsets. However the check in did not go well, the supplier provided the wrong front door code and wifi password via the recommended app. That wasted some time getting in. The second negative is the bad condition of kitchen dishes and utensils. Chipped and cracked dishes, incomplete sets, e.g. bowls. And no BBQ cooking tools. Also no property information binder was found.

Beautiful Views

Overall, this was a very good property. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple of reasons, though. When we arrived, the hot tub was not working properly. It took 2 visits from the maintenance man to fix it so we didn't have a hot tub for the first 36 hours. Property management was great, though, and was on top of our complaints. This property has an incredible view, but you definitely need to know that it is located at the VERY top of the mountain. I'm pretty sure you cannot go any further. The roads get smaller and more steep as you get closer to the top so be prepared(not a bad thing, just giving you a heads up). And lastly, pay close attention to the add on pricing with this property. I did not and the nightly rate I thought I was getting was not actually the rate at all. There was quite a bit of "extras" added in.

Great views, but basic amenities need updating

The location and views of the property can't be beat! The house had a great layout for our group (4 adults, 4 kids), but the house is smaller than it appears in pictures. The home is clean, but the kitchen dishes and utensils need an overhaul. A lot of the dishes were chipped or cracked and there were only 4 bowls for a home that sleeps 8! We asked management for more bowls, but they suggested we buy disposal bowls as they were overrun with holiday requests. Additionally, the kitchen needs more dish towels. Be aware that there are no fireplaces or fire pits for wood burning. The indoor fireplace is gas logs, which is nice and easy, however we were hoping for an outdoor fire pit to do smores. There is an outdoor fire pit table on the porch, which is also nice, but doesn't work for smores. The roads in the neighborhood can be slick when icy/snowy, so be prepared for that. We enjoyed our stay and loved the views, but the house could use some basic amenity upgrades.
