If you are looking for a small gem in western Carolina

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!

Every Bit as Beautiful as Described

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!

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.

Guaranteed good time!

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!
