Family Getaway with Magnificent Views

Welcome to Deerwood Retreat

Deerwood Retreat is a peaceful getaway with long-range, layered, and expansive mountain views, including a view of iconic Grandfather Mountain. This home's magnificent views can be enjoyed from almost anywhere inside and out. Choose your view from multiple decks where you feel like you are standing on the edge of the mountaintop or inside right from the comfort of the living room couch. The house is situated at 4,700 feet above sea level and offers the coolest summertime temperatures in the area, which can be experienced from the choice of three different decks. In the wintertime, you have the choice to snuggle up to either the indoor or the outdoor wood-burning fireplaces.

This house is perfect for a romantic getaway or the entire family. It includes a bunk bedroom with a door that leads to the secret stairwell accessing the upper beds! The property boasts a miniature cabin/treehouse built on the deck for children. The backyard will transport your children into a life-size, magical fairy garden with wood bridges, pathways, toadstools, wildflowers, and more for hours of exploration right on the property.

Deerwood Retreat is centrally located as it is a short drive to Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, Banner Elk, Boone, and Blowing Rock. Guests have access to the Seven Devils tennis courts, Otter Falls Trail, and miles of hiking trails at Grandfather Mountain Park and Linville Falls. The home is just up the road from Hawksnest Snow Tubing and Zip Lines, and fishing enthusiasts will find some of the best trout fishing available at the nearby Watauga River. Go gem mining and fishing at Grandfather Trout Farm or plan a river trip with Foscoe Fishing Company.

Please Note: For security purposes, this home has a security camera along the driveway.

* This pet-friendly home is equipped with an extra large dog crate and a heavy-duty dog ramp. Allows pets with an additional fee paid after booking. The fee is $35 per pet per day.

Staying here was amazing! Came out for a guys trip and there are multiple great trails near by. The property is one of the only houses at the top of the moutain. The views are beatuiful. Highly recommend staying here. The only thing is we had 3 dead mice in the house so making sure the house is clean before the guests arive would be nice. Overall though i would come back and stay

Beautiful View
The property has a beautiful view of the mountains! I cannot stress enough that this property is on top of a mountain! There are switchbacks up in a few different places. We had a bit of snow while there an were glad to have 4 wheel drive foress than an inch. The house was nice. The cleanliness of the house was a bit disappointing. Surface level was fjne, but there was a thick layer of dust on picture frames and shelves. The bunkroom was perfect for our kids and gave them their own space. The hot tub was wonderful. All in all we enjoyed our stay!

The positive experiences that we had this home were the beautiful view from the living room and the back deck, truly breathtaking. The outside play area is fantastic, our young children loved it. The hot tub was clean and great to use after a day out. The location is hard to beat, close to grandfather mountain and the other local attractions. We were however very disappointed in the cleanliness of the home. One of our children has a severe dust allergy, therefore when we book rentals cleanliness is really important. We started referring to the home as a dusty heaven, it had amazing views but the home was covered in thick dust. As an example, right after arriving we opened a curtain in the kitchen so we could see the view better. We were smacked in the face with a cloud of dust from the curtain, we then opened the porch door in effort to air the dust out, but a gust of wind kicked up dust that we quickly realized was layered on every surface. We turned around to find our kids playing tic tac toe in the dust on the window sill. The house had clean bathroom vanities, toilets and showers but it was obvious that nothing else had been touched. Even after a cleaning crew was sent back out there was still so much dust that we couldn't use ceiling fans as it kicked up too much dust. I hope the house gets deep cleaned prior to the next renters, it has so much to offer...without the dust!

Holiday Mountain Retreat
Our family enjoyed every bit of this home and the views are incredible! It has everything you need for a visit with family and pets, including an extra large kennel, plenty of dishes and cookware, and a great fireplace (pick up wood and matches). A few things to consider when preparing-the home is on top of a very steep, windy hill which meant that there was completely different weather. We had snow and colder temps never indicated in any weather app, creating gorgeous wintry views and a little sledding down the driveway. But keep that in mind when traveling because we came across many different vehicles struggling with the snow and ice, even with well paved and graveled. Our 4 wheel drive had zero issues. The primary bedroom is on the main floor and the other rooms are downstairs, something to consider for family members with less mobility. Make reservations during the holidays for activities because they book up quickly-sledding, restaurants, Wilderness Alpine Coaster (so fun). Would highly recommend, just heed the warnings for appropriate vehicles!

Holy VIEWS!!
While looking for a property in the mountains the first thing I gravitate towards is the outdoor deck, space, and the views… This place did not disappoint!!! The views were amazing, and the overall entertainment space in the home was perfect for our group! There is plenty to do in the area. We enjoyed several Banner Elk restaurants and hiking trails/waterfalls. And of course, the wonderful Grand Father Mountain Winery! There were a few items we expected to be present that were not probably an accident… Such as bath towels for each bathroom and trash bags. But nothing to get bent out of shape about you will still enjoy the place!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home at the very top of Seven Devils!

Surprisingly Unclean
I was so excited about this stay. The pre-check-in communication was great and check-in process was easy. However, the place was dirty. Right after we parked on the gravel driveway, we saw two dog poop piles. Floor was dusty and had dog hair. The couches and second bedroom linen also were lined with white dog fur. The third room with bunk beds smelled musky. My family had to keep that room shut so the smell wouldn't go around the lower floor. I called the office to ask a question and mentioned the cleanliness problem. The lady on the line said, "Oh, sorry." Hot tub was working but black sand at the bottom wasn't inviting so we didn't use it. The place has a nice view, heater worked great, and hot water came out with no problem. Also, it's very quiet. However, the uncleanness of the property turned me off. The day before check-out we lost Wi-Fi and the maintainence person couldn't fix it. We didn't want to spend the second night there so we checked-out that night.

Beautiful views and great location!
We recently completed a 4 night stay at Deerwood Retreat and it was a great spot for our two families (including kids and dogs). The views are amazing and the location is great (very convenient to snow tubing, Grandfather Mtn area, etc.). We enjoyed the hot tub and the kids' play area outside. One thing to mention to future renters is that the house is not very well stocked with back-up supplies or basic cooking spices. We could not find any food storage (tupperware or food wraps) and ran out of trash bags, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper and paper towels, so we had to run out and buy more. Just a note to come prepared! But other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely visit again!

Wonderful Property and Stay!
We used the cabin as a wonderful home base for a long weekend for our group in the mountains during peek leaf season. Drove the Blue Ridge Parkway, had lunch in Blowing Rock, and hiked at Rough Ridge Overlook and Beacon Heights Trail one day, hiked at the Emerald Outback, had lunch at Beech Mountain Brewing Co., and rode the ski lift to the top of Beech Mountain for a beverage at the 5506' Sky Bar another day, and did a morning hike at nearby Otter Falls our last day (glad we went early, it was getting crowded when we left). The neighborhood is also fun to explore by foot. While not off on adventures, we very much enjoyed the home's large and well stocked kitchen, the views from the decks and the hot tub next to the outdoor fireplace (though while in the hot tub it is impossible to see the fire, due to the cover's position being in the way). We were pleasantly surprised to find ample firewood left for us, though I'm unsure if that was the property management company or a past renter. The slide and playhouse were also a hit with the 4 year old, as well as the hammock chairs on the lower deck and the dollhouse in the bunk room's closet. Overall, this was a very nice home in a great location, and while we've already rented another property for next year's annual fall leaves trip, this place is definitely on my short list of rentals to consider again for our future needs.

Beautiful spot!! Incredible views. Absolutely loved the place. Cleaning prior to our arrival was inadequate. Specifically the mess left behind in the oven and refrigerator, pull out sleeper sofa was full of food crumbs, windows and doors smudged. Would like to see cleaning company held to a higher standard. This is an elite level vacation spot…should be cleaned to reflect that. Listing showed hot tub on the back deck looking out on the mountains, however, the tub is now out front near the fire place. Minor correctable issues for sure. You want to rent this retreat!! It’ll change your life for the better. Go get it!!

Wonderful cabin, perfect location!
My husband and I brought our two dogs for a week in the mountains, and we absolutely loved this cabin. The furnishings were comfortable and we had everything we needed for a quiet getaway. We were looking forward to hiking the nearby trails and enjoying the spectacular view from the deck, but it rained (seriously, it monsooned) every day of our stay! So if you guys can fix the weather before our next visit, that would be much appreciated. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay very much. :)
