Pie in the Sky is located in Seven Devils, NC at 4,400 feet elevation in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The roads are well-maintained but winding — take your time and enjoy the scenery.

Winter travel note: During winter weather the town of Seven Devils requires 4WD or chains to drive up the mountain.

GPS works well in the area. If you are coming from I-40, take the US-221 North exit toward Blowing Rock/Boone, then follow NC-105 to Seven Devils.

Check-in time: 3:00 PM

The front door uses a keypad lock. Your door code will be sent to you via email and text message the day before your arrival.

Do NOT pull down the driveway if you don’t have 4WD, you will get stuck in the gravel! You can park parallel to the road in the gravel in front of the house. Please do not pull past the post with the 124 on it.

The EV charger is on the post by the parking pad. Just plug in to start charging — you’ll need an adapter for your Tesla.

WiFi network and password will be shared via text and email with your door code.

Use the touch bar on the right side to control the thermostat. Swipe up to raise the temperature, swipe down to lower it, and tap to confirm. The display will show you how many minutes until your desired temperature is reached.

The fan in the living room is controlled by the switch and the remote (in basket above sofa).

The Google Home hub controls the Nest thermostat and the lights in the main room/kitchen. You can use the touch screen or say “Hey Google” before the command. If you would like to turn off the microphone on the hub/speaker but still use the touch screen, there is a switch on the back towards the top.

The hot tub is located on the back deck and is ready for you upon arrival. The cover should be placed back on the spa when not in use to maintain temperature and keep debris out. Turn off the waterfall feature before covering. Secure the hot tub cover with the straps provided.

Please shower before using the spa. Do not use the spa if you have open wounds. Maximum capacity is 5 people. Children must be supervised at all times. No glass containers on the deck near the spa.

They are operated by a remote or the touch controls on the bottom right. There is a switch on the top right that controls on and off. They do put out heat so feel free to warm the space up by turning the heating option on.

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, utensils, plates, glasses, and a coffee maker. The coffee maker is a Keurig Duo which allows you to brew a pot of coffee or single serving using K-cups. The controls are at the top, the “K” is the brew button. There is a reusable filter for the pot option. Power on, press the carafe or cup option, press the size, then press the K.

Basic supplies (coffee, salt, pepper, cooking oil) are provided. Please run the dishwasher before checkout if you have used dishes.

There are hidden drawers on each side of the stove at the top.

Please be sure to turn the gas off at the propane cylinder under the grill when you are finished cooking. When the grill has cooled off, please replace the cover and use the bungee cords to secure the cover & grill to the deck. If you forget, it will wake you up banging around!

Place bagged trash in the trash can in the utility closet. Leave up to 3 bags of bagged trash. If you have additional garbage or would like to recycle, please drop it off at the nearby dumpsite: go to the bottom of the mountain, turn left on Hwy 105, go ¼ mile, and turn right on Vineyard Drive. It is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

You can also separate your recycling and take it down to the dumpsite.
