Winter Weather/Road Conditions: Winter weather conditions and the amount of snow or ice that could affect your trip to Hawks View House cannot be predicted. It can snow, sleet, and ice over any time in any amount from Oct thru April as NC is just a series of cold fronts from up north. Many factors including the severity and duration of the winter weather, as well as the type of vehicle you are driving (2WD,4WD, AWD), the condition and type of tires on your vehicle (snow tires) along with your level of expertise in driving in these conditions, are all variable factors. The main paved subdivision road and the gravel driveway to Hawk's View House are not maintained by the County and although some snow plowing and scraping may be arranged it is not guaranteed. In general, if there is considerable snow and/ or ice on the main paved private road to Hawks View House we recommend that your trip be rescheduled.

If you booked off-season with discounted rates or last-minute specials, you will have to pay the difference if you decide to come when rates are higher.
