Private Cabin Overlooking Watauga River Valley

Welcome to Seaforth!

Seaforth is an elegant mountain cabin with fine furnishings. This cabin sits in one of the most idyllic settings in the High Country. Enjoy privacy and views at the top of the mountain overlooking the Watauga River Valley. Explore walkable woods around the property, brimming with wildlife. Take a leisurely walk back down the gravel road to enjoy one of the most beautiful mountain settings in North Carolina, where the Watauga River winds gently through the valley. Watauga River Road is flat as it winds along the river and is great for walking, biking, and exploring. And on almost any good weather day, you will see kayakers, rafters, and tubers enjoying the river. Or take a short drive to the famous Mast General Store, which opened in 1883 and still offers a cup of coffee for 5 cents. There is frequent live music and a fun array of mountain merchandise and lore. This cabin is located centrally in the High Country, within easy driving distance of Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain, and Grandfather Mountain.

The main living area of Seaforth Cabin is the heart of the home and is an open-concept floor plan. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a massive stone fireplace, and a wall of windows greet you when you enter the home. The dining room is spacious, seating ten (10) comfortably at a large table. The main living area leads out to a large deck with comfortable seating. Downstairs is a game room with a flat-screen TV, a ping pong table, a dartboard, a sauna, and a movie room with a flat-screen TV.

Nice house, needs work and housekeeping,accessibility difficult
The house and views are beautiful. Our family really enjoyed our time together. We were disappointing, however, at the relative on cleanliness of the property. Moldy shower, rings, and toilets, dead bugs on windowsills, and in bathtub. Very poorly stocked (only one roll of toilet paper in the house, no dishwashing powder, no trashbags). Those things didn’t keep us from enjoying ourselves, but will keep us from renting this house again. Also, be prepared for a very steep, narrow, curving half mile gravel road to access the house. If we had had heavy rain, it would have been treacherous. The listing should have revealed that, in our opinion.

Overall Nice Stay
My biggest complaint is that the heater barely worked. There is one AC unit for the entire house (a huge house with 3 stories) and even with having a fire in the fire place, opening the oven door, plugging in the little heaters that were provided to us, and running the central heat the house never got warmer than 59 degrees. We stayed right after Christmas and the first few days in NC were in the low 40's, nights in the 20's. The kitchen has two ovens but one was broken upon arrival (the door had somehow come off). We made breakfast at the cabin every morning, we cooked dinner there 3 nights, the cabin had all of the basic items/utensils needed for cooking. I really loved the layout of the house, it was very unique and perfect for the 3 families we had with us. The master bedroom bathroom had bugs on the floor and had a musty smell. Overall, the cabin was beautiful, at the top of a gorgeous mountain with amazing views. We enjoyed our stay.

The views do not dissapoint!
Beautiful cabin on top of the hill with excellent views. It would have been nice if there was directions for the hot tub, sauna, and fire place available. There was left 1 towel per person which it would be nice to have a few extras.

Great house for families or couples
Was a big house with plenty of entertaining room, the kitchen opens into the large dining and den area, surrounded by a deck and and sweeping Mountain views. Very nice pool table, darts, hot tub, and dry sauna. TV’s in every room, fire pit with great views and very good wifi. Very quiet and peaceful. Only downside is very steep and curvy driveway can be a little tricky in inclement weather, definitely listen to the 4wd/AWD advice if you’re going jn winter or colder months. Great little spot “Mast Farm Inn” less than 10 minutes with a quaint bar. Banner Elk area is about 30 minutes as is Boone area if you’re wanting to go into town. I would advise stopping and getting whatever essentials you need there prior to hiking up the hill. Nevertheless, we will be back.

Birthday Weekend Paradise
We loved everything about this gorgeous property- from the views on top of the hill, to the winding country roads to get to it. The house was immaculate and provided SO much to do and tons of space! We loved the kitchen, the pool table and darts. We loved waking up to a beautiful view and seeing the sunset at the top of the mountain. Conveniently located to all the fun things- Boone, Blowing Rock etc. Definitely would love to book again!

Needed getaway
Seaforth was an amazing getaway! My wife and I enjoyed waking up to the sun peaking over the nearby mountain and relaxing around the fire. The hot tub and sauna were a much needed therapy away from the stressors of the world. We highly recommend staying at this property. Unfortunately we weren’t able to take advantage of the pool table due to absence of chalk, so any pool players need to bring your own chalk. There were ample wildlife to watch in the morning and evening time. Overall great stay highly recommended.

Great house
Beautiful house, great views, very comfortable. Last turn on the driveway is a little steep but our vehicles had no issues. It’s a big house, so the kids had a fun time exploring and picking out their rooms when we arrived.

Wonderful short getaway for our family
Property was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the views from the top of the hill. The hot tub was a nice touch the kids enjoyed that very much, well stocked kitchen we never felt we were lacking anything. Would definitely go back again although the house was pretty big for just our small family of four.
