A great house to stayw in. Older but comfortable and well maintained. Kitchen well stocked, beds were comfortable, great location. Best views of any rental that we have used.
House was well equipped & the views were breathtaking! The mattresses were not comfortable & we tried every bed. We could feel the springs & are still dealing with aching backs since. Other than that, we had a great trip there.

We went for a girls trip to this house! It was one of the cleanest rentals I have ever stayed in. The leatherwood resort was beautiful and a great location. The views were amazing! We had a wonderful time!

We had a wonderful stay at Hawk's View. I have never been to a rental property that had everything we needed, it was so appreciated. The view from the deck and hot tub was beautiful.

Woke up on Saturday morning to get married here and just saw an amazing view as the sun was coming up, very peaceful start to a crazy day. Beautiful house, great view, perfect for all the groomsmen to stay in.
We had a great family weekend. The Home has a stunning view and is peaceful and quiet. It was just what we needed!
Wish we had more time to spend using the neighborhood activities and amenities.
Very limited access to groceries and supplies, so be sure to bring what you need.

The Leatherwood resort facilities is one of my favorite vacation spots in the world. This was my second visit the the beautiful mountain area. Can't wait to get back, This FALL TO SEE THE ARRAY OF COLORS.
We had a wonderful stay at Hawk's View over Christmas break. The house was surprisingly large with wonderful views from every room. The property is very remote with beautiful walks and mountain drives in every direction. The house is starting to feel a little dated, but very comfortable and clean. Everything worked perfectly apart from the TV which we had to use one of our own cables to get to work (luckily my husband is techy).
Beautiful Mountain Views, Bad Location for Toddlers
The cabin had beautiful views. The jacuzzi had fuzzy algae growing in it and the areas under couches were really dirty (typically, this wouldn't matter to us, but we had toddler toys go under there). Otherwise, the cabin was clean and comfortable. It is not an ideal location with toddlers, since the cabin is surrounded by steep cliffs with dramatic drops. So, people with toddlers, I recommend renting further down the mountain. A great stay for an adult getaway to the mountains, though!

It was just what we needed. The house was great. Beds were comfortable. Just moved around furniture for our daughter in her walker to avoid the movie rack. The views were amazing. Seeing the sunrise every morning was glorious. The hot tub and fire pit was a great feature every night.

We loved staying at Hawks view. The double deck was where everyone wanted to be, unless they were on the very large and cozy screened porch. It was delightful! The staff at Leatherwood in the office were some of the nicest people we have ever encountered. They wanted to help in anyway possible and were courteous and professional. Five stars to the staff! A couple of suggestions would be that the kitchen needs more light. In fact,The entire house could use a bit more light. Leatherwood is in a beautiful location and it was a pleasure to be there guests.
My wife's only request for her 50th birthday was that we were not home for it. She also felt drawn toward the mountains; given the COVID situation, a cabin in the mountains was the perfect get-away. The view from this cabin was phenomenal. The home itself exceeded all expectations; the pictures did not do it justice. You simply cannot go wrong with Hawk's View; we would stay again and again. Also, being in the hospitality industry for many years has made us very aware of cleanliness. This home was almost spotless! Excellent office staff who bent over backwards for every little request. Horseback riding was very, very good. Onsite restaurant was also quite good. Plan on staying put; the nearest grocery store/restaurant is not easy to get to. If you must take a day trip, Blowing Rock and Boone are lovely excursions. We LOVED Leatherwood and especially Hawk's View.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already talking about visiting again. Pros and Cons...
**the view was magical
**the hot tub was very nice and clean
**the propane fire pit was a dream (it's nice to have a fire without smelling like smoke)
**the house is very spacious
**there are plenty of dishes and pans to use for cooking
**the main deck is multi-level so you can sit out front in wet or dry conditions and enjoy the view
**there was plenty of seating for everyone and the bedrooms and bathrooms were quite large
**it was peaceful, and the resort overall is well manicured and very beautiful
I gave Hawk's View 4 stars instead of 5 stars because of a few minor things and one major thingâŠ
*there were a lot of dead bugs in the window seals upstairs when we arrived
*if it rains you canât use the hot tub or the fire pit because neither are covered
*THE BIGGIE* there were no window coverings for the bedrooms upstairs and, more importantly, the bathrooms upstairs. One of the showers had a large exterior window inside, so this was unacceptable. None of the ladies felt comfortable using it so that eliminated one bathroom for our group of 6. There really should be solid curtains or blinds in all the bedrooms and bathrooms whether or not they are on the upper floors.
Hawk's View is a beautiful place and we want to go back!
This place is secluded and does appear to have great views (the weather wasnât great for our visit). On the map it appears closer to Boone, Blowing Rock and hiking trails than it is. Google or Apple Maps will send you down Triplett Road toward hiking trails and Boone but Triplett is unpaved for large portions with big ruts and potholes. The alternative was going all the way back to Wilkesboro and then up 421 to Boone and the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are hiking trails close by but theyâre in a private gated community called Blue Ridge Mountain Club (Maps apps also tried to take us through there). On the plus side the house has 3 bedroom suites and another half bath. The wood burning fireplace worked well and there was plenty of dry wood provided. The screened in porch was very nice although the better views are on the front side of the house. The house is also a little rundown. Several light switches and outlets didnât work and some windows on the upstairs bedrooms didnât have shades. We brought an Amazon firestick to watch shows and movies but the only HDMI port was behind the (only) tv, which is mounted on the wall. If you just want to really get away and/or you like horseback riding this might be the place for you. If you want convenient access to hiking and cool mountain towns get something closer to Boone or Blowing Rock, or maybe Black Mountain.
We had an amazing time! Everything was perfect â the house was sparkling clean, the view was simply breathtaking, and the kids were so happy. We can't wait to come back!
Even though it rained during our stay, the view was magnificent and the hot tub was delightful. My wife and I really enjoyed our quiet getaway to this cabin and would come back again!
This was the perfect house for our family. The location has a beautiful view with an enormous deck and hot tub! My 10 year old loved the games that were there and if you stay you have to find the baby Yoda; he is somewhat hidden!
Great stay and home, just a couple minor negatives
Clean house, well stocked kitchen and plenty of space for the family! Only negatives were we didnât have any firewood as listed or laundry detergent also listed. When we got back Saturday Afternoon the house had no power due to outages in the area. The owner got notifications but didnât bother to share and when I called all of the numbers listed not one person picked up to help with the issue. We didnât know if it was the rental out of power or the area. We were able to find flashlights and collect wood for warmth so good they had those!
Really cool neighborhood. Definitely pack everything you need!
Amazing place to stay. The leatherwood mountain resort is beautiful and we will definitely be back. The cabin was clean and had stunning views. No complaints!
