Endless Vistas, perched high atop Windy Knob on Seven Devils...enjoy the sunrise AND the sunset! With views beyond amazing, Endless Vistas offers a true mountaintop experience for guests, while also taking you on a trip back in time. Winner of an NCAIA award and feature when first built in the 70s, this unique home still boasts fun original features while also offering updates including the large, open kitchen.
For those seeking top of the world views, few rival those of Endless Vistas. With large windows, multiple decks, and even its own crows nest, this Seven Devils rental provides endless opportunities to take in the endless mountain vistas! Yet even with this mountaintop location, there is still a lawn for children to play. And with many of the original features still in the home, it is a comfortable and inviting getaway where families can relax and enjoy the uniqueness both inside and out. Visions of a Brady Bunch vacation are in our heads!
After following the curving roads up the mountain to this tranquil spot on Windy Knob, the unique architectural style of this home greets you. There are two level parking areas, so no worries there! Once entering the home, you are greeted by the tremendous views through the large window wall, and the unique, four-level spiral staircase! We do wish to emphasize that this spiral staircase may be an issue for some, or raise concerns for those with especially young children - but for others, it is just part of the charm.
The large, open living area features a stone fireplace, and floor to ceiling windows to take in the views during the day, and stars at night. Although many choose to spend time rocking in front of these windows, others may gather on the comfy sofas to enjoy a winter fire, or watch the big game on tv. Bring your game of Twister, as there is ample space for games, or even a family dance off while taking advantage of the stereo, with all the floor space in this room.
The kitchen has been updated, and provides tons of counter space to make meal preparation a breeze. The comfy lounge chairs along the counter are a great spot for breakfast, or just to sit and keep the chef company. And when you are all ready to sit down to dinner, the large dining table is ready to accommodate your group, with extra seating along the counter and also at the breakfast nook. There is also a powder room on this level.
When it is time for bed, head to the upper level and find three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a new king bed set, and the master bath has both a tub and separate walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed and is just besdie the hall bath, with shower/tub combo. Finally, the third bedroom on this level has two twin bed. Additional sleeping is available on the lower level off the family room with two more twins and an additional full bath.
Many guests find their first and last stop each day to be in the crows nest, with windows in each direction. An amazing spot to take in the vistas or the stars, it is a great spot to start and end each day. It is also a perfect spot to find solitude and enjoy a good book, or for the artists, work on your next masterpiece!
The lower level features a large family room with new seating and pool table. Family game night awaits, and there is also access to the yard from this level (as well as the one above!).
When you are ready to head out, the outdoor adventurers will appreciate the location close to Hawksnest for zip-lining or snow tubing, or just a few miles away is the popular trail to Otter Falls. Head back down Seven Devils and find yourself on the main road between Boone and Banner Elk, and take your pick! Grandfather Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway are close, as is Sugar Mountain for skiing, or the historic Mast General Store in Valle Crucis for trip even further back in time.
For a unique getaway with that top of the world feeling, Endless Vistas is the perfect Banner Elk rental for your next mountain escape!
