About this cabin rental
The Rocky Roost is a three bedroom/three bath (sleeps 8), hand-hewn log cabin located in Banner Elk/Seven Devils. This inviting cabin is thoughtfully furnished and artfully decorated. It is meticulously maintained and owner managed since October 2022!! We work hard to be one of the best VRBO rentals in Seven Devils. Book today!!
The Rocky Roost boasts an open floor plan on the main level. The living room features a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace, and the dining area seats 8 with additional seating for 4 at the counter bar. There is also a table on the massive back porch that seats another 8!! The well-equipped kitchen has everything guests need to prepare meals. Guests can also enjoy using the gas grill on the rocking chair front porch.
The full-length, screened-in porch off of the main level is a wonderful retreat with its vine swing, Adirondack chairs, and hemlock outdoor dining table. The covered lower deck includes rocking chairs to take in the beautiful rhododendron in the spring and summer, and Devils Lake in the fall and winter months. Down another level from the back door is a fire-pit with Adirondack chairs ... the perfect place for roasting s'mores, sharing stories, and enjoying the nighttime air. Also out back is a covered gravel area for a fun game of corn hole. We have both full-sized corn hole boards and a mini-sized set for the little ones!! (Please note: if you are a former guest of The Rocky Roost, we no longer have a hot tub.)
A cozy bedroom with a queen bed is located on the main floor with access to a full bath. Upstairs guests will find another bedroom featuring a queen bed and a twin bed with a trundle and its own private bathroom. This bedroom opens to the loft, but has a privacy curtain that can be opened or closed. On the bottom floor is another bedroom with a queen size bed and has access to another full bathroom. You will find luxury linens and cozy blankets on all the beds with additional layers for cool mountain nights. Additionally, a queen size sleeper sofa is located on the lower level.
The home features wireless, high speed internet, and 5 large HDTVs all with Roku and Spectrum app capability. Spectrum service is provided, and guests can use their own accounts on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. There is a DVD player with the 50 inch television in the downstairs game room.

Within walking distance from The Rocky Roost are 2 small ponds, which are stocked for fishing, and a neighborhood trail!
Come and enjoy all that the mountains have to offer ... from snow tubing and skiing to hiking, river rafting, fishing, or simply relaxing. The Rocky Roost is located just minutes from Boone and Blowing Rock. Hawksnest is only a couple of miles away, featuring a huge zip line and snow tubing. Whether you are attending a football game at Appalachian State, hiking at Grandfather Mountain or Otter Falls, visiting the famous Mast General Store, riding the alpine coaster, golfing at Sugar Mountain or Boone Golf clubs, skiing at one of the numerous slopes, whitewater rafting, or enjoying the water at Wildcat Lake ... you will always find something fun to do year-round.

This was a very cute property that was spotless and well-maintained--the decor was charming. It's evident that the owners care about making visitors' stay pleasant. The kitchen was really well stocked, which let us stay in and enjoy a few family dinners together. We especially enjoyed having a bonfire under the stars and the wood-burning fireplace. The area was peaceful and quiet, but convenient to Sugar Mountain and Hawksnest.

We loved everything about this adorable cabin. Close to Boone, Blowing Rock & so many streams/rivers for flyfishing. Beautiful setting off the screened porch(overlooks a pond & woods).
Deidre and Brian are wonderful hosts & we would recommend this cabin!

We loved our stay at the Rocky Roost with an out of state couple. The location is perfect - less than 10 minutes to Grandfather Vineyard, 15 minutes to Sugar Mountain, 25 minutes to Banner Elk winery, and less than 30 to Boone or Blowing Rock. The home is perfect for both families and couples. Each floor essentially has a bedroom and a bathroom which was very private and convenient. Loft would be perfect for a group of kids - could easily have two couples and a big group of kids or 3 couples. Kitchen has everything you need. Wood burning fireplace in the living room was great for morning coffee, as was the full screened in porch with another dining room set. Walking up and down the roads in the area made for a great workout! Hot tub was great for ending each day after a fire. We spent significant evening hours playing pool as well. With everything turned on, we never even turned on any of the televisions.
New owners spent significant effort cleaning and I know they have future plans to upgrade a few items, but it was more than what we expected in the current condition and I would recommend for anyone.
4.0 / 5.0
Other than a few miscommunication about the AC working we had a wonderful stay. The Rocky Roost was great! Even with the rain we still enjoyed walking to the ponds close by and driving to Grandfather. We only stayed one weekend but would love to book again with more time to adventure.

My wife an I enjoyed the home and community, got in some hiking, shot some pool and relaxed in hot tub. The home was just as described in the listing. Thank you for sharing your home.

Last time we stayed was Oct 2020 and it was just me and my husband. This time we stayed April 2022 with our two kids. There were a few things I noticed or experienced this time, maybe because we were here in the off season, that might need to be addressed or checked out by the owners.
Pros: The beds are comfortable. The pool table is great. The hot tub was nice after a long day of hiking. The area is really quiet. Even though there are other cabins close by you still feel very secluded. It snowed our first night there, just a dusting but still pretty.
Cons: The owner sent me a message the day of our check in saying she had a lot going on that weekend and may not be very available or able to get back to me quickly if needed, which was fine. But she didn’t send me the door code. I had to send several texts and call a few times while sitting in the driveway before I was able to get in touch with her. Based on other reviews I don’t think this is typical but it was slightly stressful after driving 3 hours and then getting there and not knowing when we would be able to get in the house, especially since it was cold and snowing. The remote control in the main level bedroom either doesn’t work at all or the batteries were dead. We could turn the TV on by using the TV power button but there was no way to change the channels without the remote. We tried switching the batteries out with one of the other remotes but it still didn’t work so we couldn’t use that TV. The WiFi is really weak. My husband had to do some work but the WiFi wouldn’t even show up on his laptop. He ended up having to use his phone as a hotspot. And I found it easier to turn the WiFi off in order to look something up. There are some outlets that seem to only half work or are so loose they won’t even hold a plug. One in the basement looks like it sparked at some point because it looks burnt. There is some kind of thorny bush right next to the driveway that really needs to be cut back. If you’re exiting the car on that side you really have to avoid getting snagged.
Overall this cabin is comfortable and the listing is accurate in its description.
5.0 / 5.0
A most excellent experience. The property and its location are fantastic - clean, spacious, great community. The check-in process was a bit unusual because the owner has you execute a separate agreement; just note this cuz you need to execute before getting access. We had just left the house to head to property and had to run back home to print the document. Unusual but not painful. The hostess is probably the most cordial and responsive host we have ever dealt with - regular communication, responsive communication, made the renting process a joy. We will be heading back there for sure.

The property is pretty much as described and shown in pictures. Our stay was in early February, and temps were in the teens. There are a couple of heaters that are pretty loud and turn on and off, but most base board heaters were quiet and worked well and kept the home comfortable. The back door had a severe draft, but nothing that a little weather stripping couldn't fix. The jacuzzi was great after a day of snow skiing and the owner provides detailed instructions for use. Plenty of games to keep entertained as well as a pool table and dart board. The owner communicated well and checked in with us multiple times to assure we had what we needed. Other than needing a few minor repairs and a little TLC, this home was very comfortable with great views.

We had a great little weekend in the mountains! House was exactly how it was listed and even better. Fully stocked, comfortable beds and great views! We even saw a bear outside the front door while playing a board game! We'll definitely be back!

We rented this cabin to celebrate our daughters birthday. She is a student at App. and her birthday fell on homecoming. We knew how crowded in town would be and wanted to be just far enough away from the crowds but close enough it was easy for her to get to from school. This was the perfect spot. The cabin was nestled high in the woods and with the river behind it and with the leaves changing colors it couldn’t have been any prettier a location. Inside it was beautiful decorated. Warm, inviting and the host was attentive to our questions. We spent the weekend with family enjoying the wood fireplace, the hot tub, watching football and playing games. The kitchen had everything you could need. We would absolutely rent here again.

We enjoyed every minute here and would definitely come back for a longer stay. The house is close to plenty of hiking trails so that was a plus. Also the pool table and hot tub made the stay even better. Couldn’t ask for any better !

We had a great vacation at the Rocky Roost! The nicely decorated house is in a wooded, quiet neighborhood with easy access to all the fun activities the mountains offer. There was one little issue with the hot tub, but the owner was very communicative and was able to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Our family enjoyed the hot tub, the pool table, and the fire pit. The screened in porch was also great. There was plenty of space for two families to sleep, and it was fun for the kids to count all the roosters. ;)
Thanks Amy!

My husband, 2 adult children and I had a wonderful vacation at the Rocky Roost. The house is beautiful and exactly as shown online. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. I had my coffee every morning while enjoying the incredible view from the screened porch. Amy made the whole process easy and was available if we needed anything. We would definitely love to stay at the Rocky Roost again.

Great place! We celebrated college graduation here with our family and it was lovely. Quick and easy drive to Boone. This home is in a neighborhood with many other vacation homes - there were lots of kids and dogs around, which we enjoyed. If you want a remote getaway, this is not it. We rented two homes in Seven Devils that were 3 mins apart, so this worked well for us. We especially enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. Well-stocked kitchen. Countertop appliances showing some wear. The upstairs beds are in a loft that is open to the main living area downstairs - good place for early risers but not those who want to sleep in.

The home was beautiful, well maintained and welcoming. It rained during most of our stay but between the pool table, hot tub and the large screened rear porch we never noticed. There was so much to do nearby and the local restaurants were superb.
There were 3 bedrooms, each on a different floor making it easy to feel as if you had the entire home to yourself.
The owner made herself readily available and didn't seem to mind our last minute questions.
I can't wait to revisit this lovely home and explore more of the area. HDA

Beautiful cabin in the very nice Seven Devils community; close to Boone, Blowing Rock. The community is right across the road from Grandfather Winery. Cabin has everything to keep everyone in your group entertained - tvs galore, pool table, games etc. wonderful screened porch looking out over the tree canopy. Cabin was very clean and owner was responsive and very easy to work with.

Beautiful home tucked away in the mountains of NC. Big house with a cabin-like feel surrounded by a backyard forest and short walking distance to the lake. Outdoor nature sounds is a perfect get away from the noisy city life. The house is perfectly furnished with great amenities and appliances. This gorgeous home has entertained our youngest member of our family to our oldest member. The home is in a perfect location with close proximity to outdoor activities and nearby stores and restaurants. We enjoyed every part of our trip and most definitely enjoyed this gorgeous home.

We really enjoyed our stay at the rocky roost! The home is beautiful- from the decor to the amazing, luxury linens. Nikki has been wonderful to work with! We will be staying here again, that’s for sure. The amenities of the property are wonderful. A place to fish, a hot tub & fire pit are just a few we enjoyed. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We left our home in Islamorada in advance of Hurricane Irma, only to evacuate to NE Florida and need to evacuate again. I sat at my computer in a panic 4 days before the storm was coming trying to figure out how I would be able to figure out where to go with our children and pets that would be comfortable. After sending out several requests and not hearing anything from other owners/agents Nikki responded quickly and was incredibly accommodating. We arrived the next evening to find a lovely cabin, with thoughtful appointments, cozy beds, all impeccably maintained. Our children loved sleeping in the upstairs loft style bedroom. We loved having the ability to hook up to our netflix so they could watch their favorite movies. The kitchen has everything you would need to prepare a nice meal for your family and there is a nice grill outside on the porch. The comfort we had of being in this beautiful home away from the chaos of the storm hitting Florida was just amazing. Nikki was beyond kind and thoughtful and made sure everything was going well. I can't recommend Rocky Roost enough and we will most certainly try and come back to stay sometime soon, hopefully not while running from a hurricane!

This cabin was perfect! All our children went snow tubing and the adults stayed behind. We will definitely return, but next time we will stay longer. That was our only regret! Renting it for two nights
