Description
Welcome to Great Grandfather View, where worries melt away and mountain memories are made.

This serene and spacious three bedroom cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and breathtaking scenery, complete with a large upper deck and a private hot tub overlooking iconic Grandfather Mountain. Centrally located between Beech and Sugar Mountain ski areas and Boone, you are just minutes from Grandfather Winery and Hawksnest Tubing, making this an ideal home base for year-round adventures.

Enjoy cool summer breezes, vibrant fall foliage, and magical snowy winter days. Whether you choose a quiet, cozy getaway or an action-packed mountain escape, this is a stay you will not soon forget.

Soak in stunning, direct views of Grandfather Mountain from the expansive covered front porch, stretching over 65 feet wide, or unwind in the private hot tub and backyard fire pit area. This beautiful cabin sleeps up to eight guests and features soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, along with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living space designed for gathering. A striking stone wood-burning stove anchors the living room, complemented by four TVs and a variety of games, creating a welcoming space for family and friends to relax and reconnect.

The living room offers ample comfortable seating around the wood-stove fireplace, while the dining area includes a large table and shelves stocked with games for all ages. A conveniently tucked-away desk in the dining area makes it easy to work remotely or catch up on emails. The king ensuite bedroom is located at the end of the hall and includes a walk-in closet, a private bath with a tub and shower combination, and its own door leading directly to the porch and hot tub. Also on the main level is a queen bedroom, along with a full shared bathroom with a tub and shower. Just off the living room, the bunk room features tall ceilings, beautiful peaked windows, and two sets of twin-over-twin bunks, making it a perfect space for kids and teens. For additional sleeping space, the living room includes a comfortable pull-out sofa.

Outdoor living truly shines here. The oversized front porch is furnished with rocking chairs, lounge seating, a full dining table, and a hot tub with unforgettable Grandfather Mountain views. A Weber grill makes outdoor cooking a breeze, and the wooded, sloped front yard provides exceptional privacy. From the side stairs, head down to a lower stone patio with a cozy bistro table, or continue around to the back of the home where you will find a secluded fire pit area nestled in the woods, perfect for s’mores, laughter, and evenings under the stars.

EARLY SPRING 2026! The lower level of the home has been remodeled!  New photos coming soon

Come relax, spread out, and take in the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains at Great Grandfather View. This inviting cabin offers the space, scenery, and comfort to make your mountain getaway truly special.

I would happily stay here again, very cozy and homey atmosphere. the cabin was well stocked, clean, and comfy! My only comments are: -we did notice one of the dishes in the cupboard wasnt clean and had sauce encrusted onto it. -some fire starter would have been nice for the woodstove. We brought our own fire wood but this would have been a nice touch for anyone who didn’t -some tupperwares in the kitchen would have been nice for storing leftovers -i may have missed it in the instructions but we didnt see how to get to the washer/dryer. The code to the front door did not work on the basement door where we could see the washer/dryer

This home was very cozy, clean, and comfortable home for a weekend trip with some friends. we would stay here again but if you have more than 2 couples then someone must sleep in the bunk bed room. The location is tucked away in a very quiet neighborhood and accessible by a windy/steep gravel road. It was a little challenging for 2WD without any ice/snow but we made it work.
The kitchen was pretty well stocked for a short trip but only provided 1 roll of paper towels, a couple small rags, and 2 dishwasher pods so may need to stock up for a longer trip.
Beds were firm but there were plenty of extra blankets and pillows in the closet which was nice. The common areas were great for hanging out, with giant comfy couches and chairs and a wood burning fire place (bring your own firewood because they charge $25/bundle). Everything was clean from the bathrooms to the hot tub. The washer/dryer was in a separate basement area we couldnt figure out how to access. Overall very comfy cozy cabin!

We absolutely loved our stay at Great Grandfather View! All the little extras were so appreciated, like the K-Cups of coffee for the Keurig. The kitchen was so well appointed, everything was so clean and like new…the towels, the shower curtains, the new bathrooms. We loved the porch and it was a wonderful reprieve since we had a few days of rain. We also enjoyed the hot tub when it was raining, since it was on the covered porch. We loved the comfy couches while watching TV at night. We will definitely be booking our next visit at Great Grandfather View. We also loved Banner Elk & the area. This is probably our 5th time renting from Blue Ridge Rentals, and the only place we will continue to rent from. You all are great, thank you.

We had a great time staying at this home with a nice view of Grandfather Mountain. It is minutes drive to most attractions. We also enjoyed birdwatching from the deck set amongst the trees.

We had a wonderful stay at Great Grandfather View. I loved spending time outside on the covered porch. It was very peaceful. The master bed slept great! Cell service and internet can be spotty in the mountains but we had no issues. The house was convenient to Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock. I would definitely stay here again.

Rental was very clean and interior pictures very accurate. View was beautiful and area was quiet. The driveway is tricky if you have a larger vehicle like a large truck, took a little finagling to get it backed in but is very doable.
- Shannon, Posted: 05/09/2024
Inside of the cabin is stunning and a great layout. It was very clean when we got there and had everything we needed. The driveway is very tight so be aware if you have a large vehicle it's tight to turn around. The bed is memory foam and you have an option of a beautiful room with a queen which I wish had the king because it is a great room and a king in the very back, also a nice room but that front queen really is lovely.

This was a wonderful place to stay for Thanksgiving weekend with our adult children. It was perfect to have the deck to relax on in the mornings, the hot tub, the wood burning fireplace (especially since there was a burn ban for an outdoor fire), plenty of dishes, supplies, etc. The layout of the kitchen/living space was perfect for the 6 of us and together time. The location of this place in relation to things we wanted to do, hikes we wanted to go on, and Grandfather mountain was great. It was a positive and memorable experience and I am glad this is where we stayed.

This cabin is an excellent retreat to have a peaceful stay in the Blue Ridge Mountains! My wife and I have stayed here twice now (once before with a different rental company) and it has maintained its charm and value!
We especially love the view from the deck. It's an incredible view of Grandfather Mountain, seen from the hot tub!
There are some things that folks should know about the property that are not negatives, but good information to have!
- The floorboards throughout the cabin are extremely creaky. At night you can hear folks walking to the bathroom from anywhere in the house.
- The front door (the one with the electronic lock) needs to be tugged on while locking for the bolt to work.
- Around half the doors in the house don't completely latch, including the bathroom in the main bedroom.
- The carport can't comfortably accommodate two mid-sized vehicles. Maybe two small vehicles could fit, but we had a Subaru Outback and a Ford Mustang, and we could not fit both.

We had a blast during our stay. We were a 15 minute drive to Hawksnest for tubing. Highly recommend! Also, close to Sugar Mountain - we ice skated there. Our favorite part of our stay was the beautiful view off the front porch of Grandfather Mountain! Plenty of space out there to hang out. We also enjoyed the games and the wood burning stove.

Would stay here again! Great location, great directions regarding check in information, spacious inside, came with most of the basics you would need for a stay. I don’t have anything negative to stay! Be mindful it is up on a mountain so the path getting up is steep. My Toyota Highlander was able to make it up just fine but our friends small car struggled at times although they did make it! Overall loved our time!
