About this property

Rocky Roost - OWNER Managed! 3BR 3BA, Fireplace, Pool Table, Fire Pit, Darts.

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. The game room also features a slate pool table, dart board, and more. Additional amenities include many games, puzzles, and DVDs.

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.


North Carolina's High Country is a favorite destination of families, couples, friends, and adventure-seekers. North Carolina has the highest mountains east of the Rockies and caters to adventurers of all abilities.

The Rocky Roost is in the Lakes neighborhood of Seven Devils and approximately 2.1 miles from Hwy 105. The road up can prove challenging in the winter months. Please plan on having 4WD/AWD/chains if there has been, or if there is a chance of, winter weather. You can do a websearch for "Seven Devils webcam" and find at least two showing current conditions.

We have a Ring doorbell at our front door, a Ring camera for the back deck stairs, and a Ring camera for the firepit - for safety reasons.

We hope that you will reserve your stay at The Rocky Roost sometime soon! Please note we are a pet and smoke free property. (If you are traveling with an animal, we kindly request that you select many of the pet-friendly rentals in Seven Devils. We personally have family members that are allergic. Thank you!)

Read our glowing reviews and book now!! (Please note, the "Host Fee" that VRBO describes is our cleaning fee!)

Roosters!
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.

Wonderful Thanksgiving!
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!

Perfect Spot Near Blowing Rock and Vineyards
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.

Too short of a stay!
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.

About the host

Hosted by Brian and Deidre Hinkle

Host profile image
Brian and I have both spent the majority of our lives in North Carolina and have raised our children here. Coming to the mountains as a family has always been a highlight! We are big hikers, and love getting on the trails any time of year. Nothing beats finding a cool, mountain swimming spot on a challenging hike in the hot summer!! We also love hiking in the winter, bundling up to enjoy the snow covered terrain. Of course, the fall in the NC mountains is heavenly with the cool breezes and gorgeous leaf colors. Not to be outdone, springtime with literal mountains of blooming rhododendron surrounding you is a sight to behold!

Why they chose this property

Through the years, we dared to dream of one day owning a mountain home. When visiting the mountains, we were always most enamored with the authentic hand-hewn cabins. They proved over and over again to be a wonderful setting for lots of family fun! When we saw The Rocky Roost for sale, it felt like the perfect property for us. The location is central to Banner Elk, Boone, and Blowing Rock. There is so much to do if you choose, or you can enjoy the quiet serenity that surrounds the house!!

What makes this property unique

After traveling to the NC mountains for most of our lives, we decided on Seven Devils for the great community, higher elevations, and proximity to everything!! The location is optimal, with literally every mountain activity imaginable only a short distance away.
