◾OKAY, NOW ON TO THE GOOD STUFF◾

Welcome to the The Weekender: your grown-up, boutique, luxury mountain retreat with breathtaking views of Grandfather Mountain, a hot tub, and ideal mountain property to get away from it all!

Our cabin is centrally located in the High Country and is the perfect location to explore the area. Close proximity to Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain Ski, Grandfather Mountain, Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Winery, Hawksnest Snow Tubing/ Ziplining, Alpine Coaster, abundance of hiking trails, restaurants and more.

◾THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER RENTAL◾
Check out our ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews and you will see that The Weekender is not just another rental--friends, it is an EXPERIENCE! We care about our space and we care about our guests. This is our second home that we allow others to enjoy when it's not in use. You will interact with owners--not a property management company (where you are just a number).

◾OPEN FLOOR PLAN: SPACIOUS BUT COZY◾
One level, one step access (no stairs) for easy-living! It's cozy, but spacious enough for 4 guests very comfortably (1,250 sf). She's rustic--but not too much--with touches of modern amenities and fun, creative spaces (we call it "rustic chic"). Our open floor plan and high ceilings make for a spacious feel and a great place to entertain and interact with one another. It's perfect for one couple, two couples, and small families alike. A perfect place to relax and unwind. Check out the floor plan photo for cabin layout.

◾HOT TUB WITH AMAZING VIEWS◾
Soak in our hot tub (Freeflow Spas 4-person Azure tub), taking in the amazing views of Grandfather Mountain.

◾OPEN FLOOR PLAN/FIREPLACE◾
The kitchen/great room and dining area opens to a huge deck which spans across the entire back of the house. The gorgeous stone fireplace has been modified to be propane instead of the traditional wood-burning, so it's clean and simple to use with just a touch of a switch.

◾LARGE DECK/MOUNTAIN VIEWS◾
You'll want to make sure you spend plenty of time on the south-facing rear deck and take in the views and do some star gazing. Deck is appointed with comfortable lounge furniture, hammock, and propane grill.

◾BEDROOMS/BATHROOMS◾
Each bedroom has its own bathroom and each bedroom has its own individual sliding door directly accessing the deck. The primary suite boasts an additional "private" deck for those moments you want to relax and enjoy some solitude. Want to relax even more? Slip into the standalone tub in the primary suite and ~relax~ ~soak~ ~dream~ ~breathe~ ~escape~ with a glass of wine, some cheese, and a book on the provided bath caddy.

The bathrooms each have FAR Infrared heaters which are controlled by individual thermostats to provide heat in the winter months, if needed. You'll generally find that those rooms require no additional conditioning the rest of the year.

◾KITCHEN◾
The kitchen is fully-stocked and equipped. The gorgeous live-edge bar allows seating for 4. The kitchen is appointed with black granite counter tops, and a stainless full-sized refrigerator with ice maker and filtered water dispenser. A coffee maker (Keurig), standard electric stove, toaster oven and small microwave round out the appliances. Feel chore-free after enjoying a delicious meal with clean-up made easy by loading the dishes into the new KitchenAid dishwasher.

◾GREAT ROOM/OPEN SPACE◾
The great room boasts a sofa, a love seat by Crate & Barrel, and a coffee table--all anchored by the gorgeous flagstone fireplace.

◾DINING AREA◾
The dining area shares a space with the great room, and has a view of everything. There is seating for 6, with a rustic wooden table surrounded by four chairs and bench-seating. After mealtime, reach into the sideboard server cabinet adjacent to the dining room table and pull out any number of games or puzzles to while away the hours. We have a Sonos speaker so you can easily stream music from your phone.

◾DEDICATED WORK SPACE/WORK REMOTELY◾
Gotta catch up on those work e-mails? Maybe need to pen a friend? We've built a simple, but effective area specifically for that, to the right of the fireplace. Open up your laptop and belly up to the desk and dig in. Need a reliable Internet connection? Check. We have reliable 40Mbps fiber service and have never experienced lags or interruptions. Looking for something interesting to read? We've supplied a small selection of books on the custom-made live-edge bookshelves above the desk.

◾LAUNDRY◾
Need to do some laundry? Well, that's convenient because we've gone the extra mile and outfitted the closet between the secondary suite and bathroom with a fancy new stackable LG washer and dryer set. We also provide a few laundry pods and dryer sheets to get you started.

◾MODERN HEATING & COOLING◾
Both bedrooms and the main room are equipped with brand new state-of-the-art Mitsubishi mini-split systems (they provide both the heating AND cooling all-in-one) which are individually controlled by the wall-mounted wireless thermostats located in each room. That's going to take care of your heating and cooling needs, but if you're looking to augment that just kick on a ceiling fan (each room has one). One box-fan is provided for additional ventilation if needed.

◾STORAGE◾
Plenty of storage. Don't like to see all of your groceries laying on the counter due to lack of cabinet space? Solved. Lots of empty cabinet space for that. Staying more than a couple of nights? Each bedroom has nightstands, dressers, and closets.

◾EXTRA AMENITIES◾
This is not your typical rental as we go above and beyond, providing our guests with extra amenities they might need during their stay such as dishwasher pods, dish soap, kitchen towels, napkins, paper towels, olive oil, salt & pepper, spices, laundry pods, dryer sheets, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Just bring yourself, some clothes, and a friend or two, and enjoy your stay in our retreat.

Other things to note
❄️INCLEMENT WEATHER: 4WD REQUIRED❄️
During the winter months, 4WD/AWD vehicles or snow chains, are recommended to ensure access to the cabin. If your vehicle is not properly equipped, THE TOWN OF SEVEN DEVILS MAY DENY ACCESS.

❗CHAIN LAW FOR SEVEN DEVILS❗
The town has a sign posted at the beginning of Seven Devils Road that advises 4WD, chains, or studded snow tires are required when traveling on Town roads. Whenever travel by motor vehicles on Town streets is hazardous due to snow, ice, or combination of both, the flashing sign shall be clearly illuminated, and the chain law is in effect. A VIOLATION OF THIS ORDINANCE IF CAUGHT IS $150.00. This ordinance can be viewed in its entirety on the Town's website.

We do not provide full or partial refunds for forfeited reservations due to the weather, or if guests are not able to access the cabin, or if guests leave early due to the weather. Please check weather conditions prior to arrival and plan accordingly--this is the guest's responsibility.

◾STEEP INCLINES◾
Hey, friends ... you are come to the the mountains because they're "the mountains" If you're basically used to driving on flat terrain--surprise--the cabin is located on a mountain and is accessed by paved roads with steep inclines and switchbacks. This is usually the best part of arrival, however please make sure your vehicle can handle this.

◾TV◾
We do not provide any television subscription services, but do provide 3 Roku TV's which allow streaming of your own subscriptions of Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, etc.

◾CELL PHONE SERVICE◾
Cell phone service can be spotty when driving up the mountain to the cabin, please ensure you have directions beforehand in case you have cell phone service issues. Once at the cabin, if you are still having issues, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE OUR WIFI PASSWORD WRITTEN DOWN BEFORE ARRIVAL, and connect immediately to the WiFi from the driveway (WiFi password will be in the electronic manual we will send you). We personally do not experience cell phone service issues at the cabin, and nor do the majority of our guests, but every provider is different, and a few guests have had issues--once they connected to our WiFi, they have been fine.

⏩iPhone users may want to configure their devices for WiFi calling ahead of time.⏪

◾CLEANING FEE◾
The cleaning fee includes basic housekeeping, but also includes hot tub chemicals/maintenance plus removal of trash/recycling--all of which happen after each visit. To keep these fees nominal, we require some very basic items to be completed by guests upon check out. You can read about our requirements in the checkout section.
