Welcome to Howling Rock!

Howling Rock is an incredibly nice, upscale, 4BR log home on a beautiful property near the top of Seven Devils with views of Grandfather and the surrounding mountains. Centrally-located and convenient to all the High Country offers, Howling Rock is only 9 miles from Banner Elk, 10 miles from Boone, and 12 miles from Blowing Rock. The village of Valle Crucis, with its huge riverfront park, and the original Mast General Store, is only 10 miles away.

Seven Devils is the home of Hawksnest Snow Tubing & ZipLine Park, which is only 3 miles away. Otter Falls trails and the town park are only 2 miles away. Grandfather Mountain and its famous Profile trails are 5 miles away. Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, which also has a great 18-hole golf course and tennis courts during warmer months, is a short 7-mile drive away. Both Beech Mountain Ski Resort and Appalachian Ski Mountain are about 15 miles away. Tweetsie Railroad, between Boone and Blowing Rock, is 16 miles away. 

Walk into the main level of Howling Rock and find an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with warm wood floors and ceilings and log walls. The kitchen is updated and well-equipped with granite counters and stainless appliances. The adjacent dining table seats eight guests, plus two more at the central kitchen island countertop bar. The living room has comfy leather furniture and a warm stone, floor-to-ceiling, gas log fireplace, as well as a large HD Smart TV. There is also a half bath/powder room with a live-edge, wood slab pedestal, and a copper vessel sink on the main level. Step out on the main level deck to find a covered rear deck spanning over onto a nice open-air side patio. There is comfy outdoor furniture for relaxing, a gas grill, and an outdoor dining table. All of this open to breathtaking mountain views!

Also on the main level is the primary master suite, with a king bed, an HD Smart TV, and sliding glass doors opening to the rear deck and leading to the hot tub. The private ensuite master bathroom with his and hers granite vanities, a huge tiled shower with built-in seating, a bidet, and a toilet with a heated seat.

The upstairs features a large loft with a full-sized slate pool table, a table for checkers and chess, a comfy seating area, and a cool arcade-style Golden Tee golf game. There are two more bedrooms upstairs, one with a queen bed and an HD Smart TV, and a larger one with a king log bed, an HD Smart TV, and glass doors framing the best views in the house opening onto a Juliette deck! There is a central full bathroom upstairs with a tub and shower combo.

The lower level boasts another king suite, also with an HD Smart TV, sliding glass doors opening to the large lower deck, and showing show off the vista. The ensuite full bathroom is jack-and-jill style, with direct access from the bedroom as well as from the den through a second door. This full bathroom has a granite vanity with his-and-hers double sinks and a large tiled shower. The den has an HD Smart TV, glass doors onto the lower rear deck, and two very cool features - the Sofa converts into a twin-over-twin bunk bed, and the console below the TV opens up to provide a queen Murphy bed. Sleep up to four more guests in the comfy den. There is also a lower kitchenette and bar off of the den, which has a stainless fridge and freezer, butcher block wood counters, and a large stainless sink. A laundry room with a washer and dryer is on this lower level. The lower rear deck is very spacious, with a gorgeous picnic-style wood table, comfy chairs, and affords fantastic stellar views. 

Howling Rock also has a detached two-car garage for covered parking, as well as a fun front yard with a wood-burning fire pit with seating, and a horseshoe pitch.
