Hound's Ear - Boone

What a beautiful place in the mountains! Club accommodations (3 suites and one bedroom style) are warm and welcoming. It reminded me to stay at home, only this kind of cozy and well ordered and clean everywhere. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. There is 24/7 access to the Snack/Continental breakfast room with much to choose! The club restaurant gave us one of the best meals we've ever eaten. All in our party of 5 were thrilled with our choices beef Stroganoff, sea bass, trout, steak... and the buffalo flower better order two! Club Pie it is delicious and huge two slices satisfied our entire party. They also have a well-equipped gym and a beautiful pool in the area, complete with a waterfall and a snack bar. It is really a special community in the mountains.

Great location between Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock. Easy 2 1/2 hour drive from Charlotte. Beautiful golf course, hiking trails, pool and tennis courts, and beautiful clubhouse -restaurants. It's so funny to take kids for golf rides every day. My husband also loves fly fishing on the river Watauga, which flows through development. We liked it so much that we bought a summer house in Hound Ears.

A large top 100 golf course, with magnificent views, fantastic greens, teas and fairways. This municipality has a fantastic hiking trail that offers 2.42 miles of beauty, with a genuine untouched wilderness experience. This private club and community support an annual world-class bouldering event that is always a must to see. The club and the municipality are surrounded by a 3 trout stream in the class that the club is harassing. I pulled 30 trouts out of this river. A great dog park, communal garden and a beautiful residential complex with a golf course that is fun as it is beautiful. The staff is fantastic, professional and friendly. This private gated community has found one of the best security teams in any private high-end community. They are always friendly, helpful and welcoming. Outside guests are welcome with Clubhouse Inn Reservations or as a guest of a member. What a great view of the Grandfather Mountain. The clubhouse has recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation and updated its restaurants and clubhouse facilites. The club offers memberships for residents and non-residents. They also offer golf lessons for non-members, as the golf professionals invited guests. Hound Ears is a great place where you can feel the difference due to the kindness of residents, members and employees. The former COO and General Manager retired after 8 years of dedicated service. He built a great team of nursing professionals.

I was in the tennis court. Great quality neighborhood dishes. Limited additional facilities. Unfortunately not very close to the Gold Club, which probably has these facilities.

Saw fireworks at Hound Ears for 1st time. Wish the works could have gone higher but understand there was an eagle aerie in the area. Maybe next year relocate the launching platform. But good experience regardless. Love the mountains.
